Jaguars Vs. Redskins: Who to watch

by silencecs on Sep 3, 2009 12:32 PM EDT in Camp Battles Comment 72 comments

The Jaguars are playing the Redskins later this evening, sans TV access. So, we'll all have to sit and listen to "The Voice", Brian Sexton. Sexton calls a great game; at least we have that going for us. Now, here are some players that should be on your listening radar, unfortunately, their won't be much analysis on the one-on-one battles until the game re-airs (unless Terry is there live).

Who to Watch:

Eben Britton at RT - The second round rookie has looked solid since throwing on the pads, and the coaching staff has given this talented young man the nod over former starter Tony Pashos

Eugene Monroe - Our number 8 overall selection will start at LT, and what he does tonight will go a long way towards deciding whether the coaching staff will start him against Dwight Freeney.

Derek Cox - The man we traded our second round pick in 2010 for will see his fist action of the preseason. A big game could potentially spell trouble for current starter Brian Williams. Make no mistake, this is a rebuilding year, and we want as many new players to snag spots as possible. It is about transition.

Brian WIlliams - B-Dub needs a big game in a bad way. If the vet doesn't perform, and T. Brack and Cox have great games, it may end his stint in Jacksonville. He needs some hard hitting tackles, and a big interception.

The QB situation - Watch to see how many passes get batted by our back-ups, and cringe while you consider what would happen if David went down.

Terrence Knighton - Whew... Talk about one big boy. TK is a huge man who is already skilled at keeping a low center of gravity. He has the body type and athleticism to potentially play NT in a 3-4 set down the road. All he needs is development.

Montavius Stanley - Another big DT who is in direct competition with Ellison for a roster spot. This is a make or break game for him.

The WR corp - Everyone is in jeopardy besides Williamson and Holt. I've begun to think that maybe even Hughes might get cut if he has a sub-par game. As long as he keeps with the status quo, he should be ok. Mike Thomas and Mike Sims-Walker will see their first action of the preseason, and both better show up and perform, or Gene will have some decisions to make.

Tiquan Underwood

is small and the need for speed, at least so far, seems to have been addressed by Troy Williamson’s resurgence.

I also think he has the best chance of making it to the practice squad

Tonight's crowd

I expect it to be even smaller than the game vs the Bucs… but I’m gonna blame the weather some. Lots of flooding around town & after yesterday’s downpour I’m sure many already made plans not to go.

That being said… there was supposed to be a 70% chance of rain this morning but I haven’t seen any rain & Doppler is clear for miles all this morning. Looks like the stars are aligning for a good game tonight. See you there!!!

In the face of adversity, what you do from then on dictates who you really are...

I'd cut two

Sims-Walker and Thomas.

Just out of curiosity. Does anyone know if “the movement” is still going? My beard’s still going pretty strong.

I cut my hair today

I’m so sad…It was literally growing on me. haha

I had to look presentable for court. What gets me mad is I drove way the hell out to the courthouse 500 miles away just to find out, that just before pulling up to the court house, that the Judge decided to not show up today. Had to turn around and go back home knowing it has been postponed to a date that works horribly for me. grrrrrr!!!!

And now I don’t even have my chin hair to keep me company!

I wanted to cut INA-Walker so badly

If they keep 6 WRs, then he has a good chance of being kept. If they keep 5, I have to believe he’s a goner too. I don’t think they’re going to give up on Mike Thomas so quickly just because of a little [poorly-timed] hamstring injury.

by MoveThoseChains on Sep 3, 2009 1:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

So I cut Williamson's clone Underwood. Hopefully he makes it through waivers and onto the PS.

by MoveThoseChains on Sep 3, 2009 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

That's how I went too.

Underwood probably has the best chance of making the practice squad.

by acedarney on Sep 3, 2009 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

If they keep 6 WR's - he's on the roster

But I’m with you – to injury prone. I think he’s an excellent talent, but can;t get onto the field = no contribution. I hope he can overcome his propensity for injury for his sake and if we keep him, for the Jags too.

by OGN on Sep 3, 2009 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Scott Starks

is also battling at CB. If he can improve on his performance from last week, he will make this team, especially with his special teams value.

by acedarney on Sep 3, 2009 2:05 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Would someone please enlighten me as to why they would cut Jarrett Dillard.

by Surteal on Sep 3, 2009 2:22 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I believe he would easily make his way back onto the PS

I doubt anyone would be claiming him, and that allows all draft picks and “I Have Zero Healthy Knees”-Walker to remain on the roster.

Naw...Hughes looks good. He is worthy.

I'm with you

I haven’t seen jack crap from Hughes. Walker at least has a track record, and Thomas and Dillard have potential. Guys like Nate Hughes are a dime a dozen.

Cutting Mike Thomas would be a big surprise.

He was a fourth round pick. I have to believe they will give him a chance to show what he can do before letting him go.

by NorthLeft12 on Sep 3, 2009 2:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Underwood to PS

And if someone injured avtivate him.

Cut Walker

Why is there still such a romance for Sims-Walker?

He’s taking up space. Get rid of him.

by Blair72 on Sep 3, 2009 2:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

David likes him as a target

if he is healthy. I think he has one last chance this season.
He must stay healthy, and he must show something.

I hate repeating myself but

Put Walker on IR, let him have 1 full year to heal and not have to deal with the wear and tear. If we gets injuried or sucks next preseason, cut/trade.

by TheTealDeal on Sep 3, 2009 3:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

They'll keep all six.

I’m not a big fan of Sims-Walker right now especially with the injuries but I am 95% sure he will make the team.

Holt, Williamson, Hughes, Sims-Walker, Thomas, Dillard

Underwood makes it to practice squad then moves up the ranks once Holt retires in 2-3 years.

by Slvrgun on Sep 3, 2009 3:04 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I think you are right

I don’t see them making the hard choice here. Any of these receivers could be a game breaker compared to Chauncey Washington. Chauncey would not be picked up by anyone. Neither would Alvin Pearman.

Plus Vic mentioned more than likely he'll make it if he plays.

Aside from the superbowl dreams, Vic has been pretty spot on. Sometimes I wonder if he has more of a voice in the organization then we’d like to think. I’ll never forget the Harvey pick when all he talked about were Harvey and the DEs during that year we said we desperately needed a pass rush. I remember him talking about the Jags needing a deep threat then we got Porter. About the change to BAP, and hinted at Shack getting fired. Yeah I think Vic, Gene, and JDR have long conversations at night when we are all sleep.

by Slvrgun on Sep 3, 2009 3:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Two things

I like listening to Vic talk on Jaguars this week, and I agree Brackenridge looks like he could be a playmaker. He just needs more playing time and experience. He has tremendous upside in my opinion. I remember him from KC’s hard knocks too.

by Blair72 on Sep 3, 2009 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

He said he goes to talk with JDR for Oklahoma assignments

He’s the head honcho in jaguars news reporting and he’ll have inside scoops.

by TheTealDeal on Sep 3, 2009 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I wonder...

If they will put Brackeridge in that secondary. He looks nasty.

yea he does

Pashos may be on the block!

PFT reports that he’s on the trading block… but with the 4M due to him this year, it may be hard to find a suitor.

Cut your losses now

He’s 29-31 years of age, so pay the 4m and get a draft pick.

Anyone?

Does anyone know how to watch online tonight? I can’t go to the game.

I would pay to see a HD game for Jacksonville.

That would be a great idea if they could filter Jacksonville IP addresses.

Keep fans going to the stands.
Let fans around the country and world watch from the computer.

I think they came out with game pass for the troops who are deployed

You want all the games here, you HAVE to get NFL Sunday Ticket.

I switched to Dish Network, too, and Direct TV is the only company that offers Sunday Ticket. They’re hoarding that revenue. Probably paid the NFL a whole lot of money for rights to it too.
