Jaguars vs Eagles: Winners and Losers

But the facts remain that his throws were quick, accurate, and on time. Not to mention the fact that McCown did not get his balls batted down which seems to be a big problem with David Garrard. I am a supporter of DG but I couldn’t help but think that as soon as he and the 1s come out it would be the typical 3 and out.

David sailing that pass to MSW is a cause for concern, he puts our WRs in dangerous positions. I think McCown would have got it there without leaving MSW high and dry. Secondly, I am not sure its play design or what but on 3rd and 8 the best you can do is throw a 5 yard pass to Marcedes in the face of 2 defenders? Thirdly, David had would should have been an easy 4th and 3. He can run, and he has a solid arm so it just looked embarassing with him being unable to command his team and get us the 1st down.

I’m not in panic mode, but I am seriously not comfortable with DG. I’d like to see McCown play with the ones at least one or two series.

Look at McCown’s throws. I watched the replay last night and hi def reveals ALOT. He does not throw a heavy ball, not many rotations. Point is, Samuel or any other top level DB would have gotten to them as they had a lot of air to them.

For my money, I thought Pot Roast had a hell of a game. He was the one D lineman who was a proven commodity from 2009 and he was a constant disrupter last night. This considering the mild controversy over his weight. He can be a Sean Gilbert type minus the attitude.

On the other team, Vick reminds me of a Boston Celtics style Pistol Pete Maravich, where Pete showed some flash but the years of hard living caught up with him big time by that point. He’ll make a few great plays then make a stupid inexcuseable play. I think prison aged him 5 years.

I am worried there might be something to the whole shellshocked DG, but for a starter it was alright performance in the 1st PS game.

Terrance was dominant as well, but we all knew he could play. Luke had a nice night, but I would love to see him play against a starting defense. I think he would do well, but I could be wrong……..

It’s all nice with MSW, and Troy steping up… but we need someone to do it every game.

Luke needs to keep playing at this level, another strong game, and by the end of PS he could go to no.1.

and I hope folks can rewatch this game.

1. The 2 “drops” by MSW were no his fault. On the third down play Asante had the coverage and the ball was to the inside which made it an easy play for the DB. The 4th down throw had him extended so he got hit from the inside and stripped from the outside. Were they DG’s fault? Maybe the 3rd down throw.

2. I don’t care if it is preseason game 1. Slvrgun nailed it. Luke, at least, looked poised and threw the ball where his receivers could get it. A complaint against DG has been his deep ball. Bottom line is that they weren’t under or overthrown. The WRs never broke stride. This could turn out to be the same QB issue we saw four years ago.

3. Backup RB is a total open position.

Time will tell, but how much time do we need to see him get his act together. Kolb sure didnt need much more than a quarter. I do want to see more from DG in the next preseason game, but I would in fact like to see McCown have a few reps with the first team.
I dont know when we will be playing our entire starting lineup on offense and defense but it would be more telling of what is to come once we do see it.
Deji is showing everybody that he may in fact be someone very special in this league.

That stood out to me is that Don Carey isn’t quick enough to play man coverage. And Derek Cox got beaten like a drum in the first half.

I think he once again showed without Mathis he is almost worthless…
