Not Al Afalava

Everyone keeps saying that we need to go after Al Afalava, and everyone is saying it was a surpise cut. They wouldn't have cut him to make room, that's for sure, he was doing horrible this off-season/pre-season. That's why he was cut.

"Safety Al Afalava, the Bears 6th round pick in the 2009 Draft, was also let go, after starting 13 games as a rookie last season. He plummeted down the depth chart in the offseason after he struggled badly in coverage and had trouble wrapping up

With that said I think the Jaguars will need to pursue somebody else at safety, and then cut Don Carey.

Antonio Cromartie has that same problem.

Well done.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Trouble covering and tackling?

Sounds like a perfect fit for us. He may make secondary captain if he’s as bad as they say.

dude thats not right…all you had to do was say he does tackle better then nelson but worse then my grandmother or something like that………………….our secondary is not going to be atrocious, it will probably be like 2006 (not very good, but doesn’t lose games)

I hope you are right! I wanna win

But from what Ive seen in the preseason, the area between the LBs and Safeties has been a free fire zone for opposing QBs. Terrible safety play.
Reggie Nelson was flat out awful. I guess anybody else equals addition by subtraction.
