Big Cat Country Radio: It's Jon's Birthday Edition

by Jonathan Loesche on Jan 6, 2010 6:50 PM EST in BCC Radio

CLICK HERE AT 10PM

The Jaguars lost to the Browns, but that's been the least of our problems. But who cares because it's my birthday today! If you want to come celebrate and talk Jags, head over to BTR at 10.

Also, you can now access all of our achieved shows directly from BCC"s main page. Scroll about half way down on the front page and you'll see a player labeled "Blog Talk Radio." That'll be refreshed with each new episode.

Also, I'll use this chance to say where the site is going to go over the next few months.

For the next few weeks are going to be a chance for reflection, one where our heads have recovered from the beating our desks have put on it. After the staff recovers form it's collective Super Bowl hangover, expect Scouting Reports to make a glorious return, interspersed with covering free agent signings and the like. Collin will hopefully be making a trip to the combine, as well.

As April comes around, the BCC community mock draft will roll around and then it'll all be capped off with me making a trip to NYC to cover the draft live. Interspersed with all of that will be occasional preferences from Mocking Dan, BCC's involvement in numerous inter-blog mocks, and everything else Jaguar related.

Strap in folks, we can either go into a cave or the stars, and I'm aiming straight up.

Happy Birthday!

Mine was yesterday, turned 23. All I wanted was the Jags to beat the Browns, but I guess that was too much to ask. At least FSU won, and Bobby left with a win.

PS, if you're wondering about the distinct lack of James Bond on this site

I wouldn’t worry about that

but , but… i’m cuffs007… so i am the better of the Bonds… kinda like the bad timothy dalton choice… i’m more like the sean connery (who i was named after. i tested this theory on my mother for many, many years) combined with daniel craig..

i digress, but you see my point.

I agree

Sean and Daniel Craig are the best Bonds ever. Brosnan was a puss

Haha.

I think “I wouldn’t worry about that” has become my favorite Vic-ism.

i bet there are people out there who read Vic and will still bugger him to death about Tebow… I especially like long winded questions that end up with Vic’s answer being " I wouldn’t worry about that " … In fact, I’m reading ‘Ask Vic’ right now…

I'm watching college football and I have some thoughts that don't warrant a post

I wasn’t overly impressed with Derrick Morgan last night. I really thought he’d be a good pick at 10 or 11, but now I’m not so sure. It seemed like his favorite move was the bull rush and he didn’t really do too many quick moves. He relied on strength, however he didn’t come off as very strong. Both tackles on either side for Iowa were able to withstand the initial push taking only a step or two back. On one play he was able to bust through the line but was straight out ran by Stanzi for Iowa.

Morgan Burnett was a complete nonfactor. Clearly not worth a first round pick. He just played deep centerfield all game and never really contributed on pass plays. At first I thought they were avoiding throwing his direction, but he was just not in position to make a play on any receiver. For run support he never really got up to the line in time. When it did come time to tackle, he wrapped up, but looked a little hesitant to stick his nose in there.

Dan LeFevour looks real good to me right now. He makes all the throws, has a lot of athleticism, makes good decisions and just plain wins games. I’m not sure who I like more, Pike or LeFevour. Both are spread QBs, but the throwing motions and mechanics are good for both. If either are there in the third, I think they’re worth it.

Derrick Morgan layed an egg yesterday

He SERIOUSLY hurt his draft stock. The Iowa O-line just owned him. The only time he chased the QB Ricky Stanzi ended up up with a 1st round….

I think If tht Iowa kid Clayborn is the big one; but I guess he is returning_ i think he said something like that in the end(Did he?)

I saw TCU DE Jerry Hughes on the fiesta Bowl-I was unimpressed with him too.
Maybe really Dunlap is the best DE-dispite his DUI?

Speaking of Radio: in JTW Jeff and Vic said; because his draft has many D_line talent; add the Jags must target it; even wih trading future (2011) picks or players for it….
Wat do you think?

by Zoltan from Budapest on Jan 6, 2010 8:11 PM EST up reply actions

Maybe DE shouldn't be the 1st pick

We’ll just hope that Gene finds a late round gem.

After all, the leaders in sacks weren’t 1st rounders. Elvis Dumervil and Jared Allen were both 4th rounders and they accounted for 31.5 sacks combined.

What about Haden?

If he is aviable? He is a shutdown CB-now if we draft him(if he is still on board I think he will be the best BA(D)P for sure) what will we do with Mathis Or D. Cox?

by Zoltan from Budapest on Jan 6, 2010 9:13 PM EST up reply actions

Yeah I watched him

He is the best CB I watched in all those bowl games

by Nikola R on Jan 7, 2010 4:37 AM EST up reply actions

let haden play nickel till he progresses

then push one to FS? its not like we have a decent one anyways

by jags2732 on Jan 7, 2010 2:40 PM EST up reply actions

Haden

Could play 2nd corner day one.

i love lefevour

cause i have a feeling he’ll be a mid rounder, right up our alley…nice and athletic with a very quick release…plus we can make “Do You Have The LeFevour?” T-shirts

I think our coachs like a "controlled/disiplined" pass rush

I didn’t watch the game so I don’t want to sound too preachy, but that’s what came to mind as I read the post and thought about what kind of pass rush the Tucker/JDR defense may want. What you saw as terrible might be seen by some as a mix if discipline and a bad day in an otherwise strong body of work.

I think Derrick Morgan is in particular is known for attacking the QB under control and keeping himself in a position to make a play if a run develops. Sounds like a JDR guy to me. I think he’s also fond of an inside move that puts our LB’s in a position to rush from a standing position on the edge. Another check.

IMHO if you’re drafting in the 1st round BPA is about more than potential, it’s mostly about a guarantee. For that reason the I was also buying the hype which described DM as “Harvey like” in the sense that he can be an every down run stop first DE who still get’s pressure. Guess I’ll have to find some game tape and see how bad it really was!

by alsonot on Jan 7, 2010 1:04 AM EST up reply actions

Maybe a Del Rio type of DE is something we should avoid...

by Adam Stites on Jan 7, 2010 2:11 AM EST up reply actions

Stanzi ended up up with a 1st round….

I mean 1st down

Is it just wrong to draft a Guard in the top 10?

I’m thinking of Mike Iupati. He’s a guy with all the tools to make an impact in pass or run blocking, and he can really move around the field, pull etc… He’s described as good enough to try at LT, but in our case he could just settle in as a starting G for the next decade or so.

There’s a bit of a good discussion mentioning a few other guards who were drafted high:

I wouldn't be against it

Ideally we could drop back about 5 spots and make that pick

by Adam Stites on Jan 7, 2010 1:18 AM EST up reply actions

id be fine

if he is BAp, especially since he would also fit need

by jags2732 on Jan 7, 2010 2:41 PM EST up reply actions

I guess

if I couldnt get guy I wanted at no.10 in first round, I would look at BAP, and if he is not what we need, I might thinking about trade down, since we have only 5 picks in draft, could get OG down in first rnd, and get few extra picks so maybe we can find someone in 5th, 6th rnd.

by Nikola R on Jan 7, 2010 4:43 AM EST reply actions

Of all guys at DL that I watched

Only Suh looked like he could do something in NFL.
Dunlap didn’t show much. Morgan too.
We need pass rusher someone who can get to QB, I didn’t see that.
There will be few DB’s, RB’s, and WR’s we should watch for in 3rd, 4th rnd.

by Nikola R on Jan 7, 2010 4:47 AM EST up reply actions

i think trading down is a good idea

but no need drafting, that got us williams, jones, etc

by jags2732 on Jan 7, 2010 2:43 PM EST up reply actions

Lefevour...

Looked pretty good last night, even though it was against Troy. Think I heard the commentators say he has 8 previous 4th quarter comebacks and had his 9th last night. According to CBS draft prospects, he is supposed to come in around #74 overall. Which is third round, right when we have a pick. One year learning the system and boom, great NFL QB.
