Jeremy Mincey has a sack song?
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Jeremy Mincey has had an interesting journey in the NFL. He was originally drafted by the New England Patriots to play in their 3-4 scheme, but didN't work out. The Jaguars wound up picking him up in 2006, but he constantly battled injuries. He even battled them last year when he finally broke into the starting lineup. So far this season for Mincey, everything has kind of worked out. He's a full time starter at defensive end and he's playing his butt off, in his contract year.
Come to find out, Mincey also has a new sack song he's given to the stadium operations people to play when he gets a sack. It was debuted on Sunday, when Mincey got his first sack of the season. "Hopefully they start coming. I feel like I try to focus on getting better each game. I got a long way to go. You can expect a lot more out of me hopefully in the future. We're still alive, breathing, the world's not ending. That's my goal. I plan on having a big year," Mincey told Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union.

You're a mean one, Mr. Mince
You're as ruthless as can be
You eat quarterbacks for money
But break running backs for free
You're a mean one, Mr. Mince
As I mentioned, Mincey is one of a handful of Jaguars who are in a contract year that the team will have to make a decision on. While Mincey isn't racking up the sacks on the stat sheet, like former Jaguars defensive end Bobby McCraydid one season, Mincey is constant in getting his pressure. He's always been a constant pressure guy, which has always lead me to compare him to another former Jaguars player in Paul Spicer. Spicer didn't get a lot of sacks, but he help cause them. It will be interesting to see if and how much the Jaguars pay Mincey if his play continues.

I think Mincey is a keeper.
He is still only 27, maybe things are starting to click for him. I hope so, I like him.

I say sign Mincey because he wont be very expensive
and try and resign Roth. Draft a DE somewhere in the first three rounds and that gives a young core with Lane. All of this assumes Kampman won’t work out though.
Kampman still adds depth at the least
He’ll play out his contract with us and then hopefully retire. I don’t predict him setting the world on fire, but I do expect something.
I seriously doubt Kampman will be on the roster in 2012.
I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

How much do you pay Mincey, though? That’s the question.

Something...
similar to what was just given to M80. Or would that be too much?
Not as much as Thomas because he doesn't have the production over the last two years to support it.
Maybe a 3 year 9 mil-10 mil deal. I’m no GM though.
The real question to me is...
if Gene does decide to resign him (which he should), when do you do it? Do they resign him now or wait until his contract is up in an attempt to accurately assess his value? I’d hate to see this team lose another player the same way we loss Podlesh.
Rotational player?
From what I’m seeing from, he looks to have the makings of the three down DE that we’ve been wanting for a while now. He might not have the elite athleticism that’s usually desired, but between his motor and technique, he is making it happen against the pass and the run. And as hjdevnull mentioned in the above statement, he even plays DT sometimes which I guess would make him a three down defensive lineman, instead of just a three down defensive end. The thing about him playing tackle that gets me is that he’s still effective when he does. I’d say that has earned him the right to be mentioned as more than just a rotational guy, considering he is able to maintain his current level of play.
Contract years are so good
The Jaguars should give Lewis a 1 year deal every year. I hope Mincey is not this type of person.
Are u on crack?
Marcedes lewis is a monster catching or blocking… Lewis deserved his deal

Deserved for last year...
All others years of his career he has been a good blocking TE and a not so good receiving TE. 1 year (contract year) of good play and he is droping passes again.
I think it is circumstantial...
new QB, conditions… You aren’t insinuating he is dropping them on purpose, so you must believe something similar.
He dropped a pass.
A very important one that cost us a touchdown but it’s not like it’s something that he has been doing all season. Hell, he hasn’t even gotten enough targets (which someone should write an article about) to have gotten the chance to see if drops is still an issue with him.
IMHO, drops have never been a big issue for Lewis. He had that horrble game against the Bengals a few years ago where he dropped literally like 6 passes, and ever since then people have complained about his hands.
His drops are actually very few and far between.

I think...
my perception is skewed a bit from last year. I just remember him dropping a few passes last season but the more I think about it, it’s as you said, they were few and far between. I stand corrected.
Lewis had been progressing each year of his career and was finally a primary focus in the passing game last year, so his touchdowns accelerated. His catches/yards went how they normally progressed.
Let’s not overreact over one dropped pass and an offense, as a whole, that’s stunk.

I mentioned during the Bengals game that he isn't getting very
many targets. The Jags are choosing to run a lot of out routes and short passes that take Lewis out of the picture. It’s like he is either used to block or as a very expensive diversion so the WRs can drop passes.
Let's overreact!!
He dropped 1 pass!!FIRE HIM NOW!!! Seriously, i think he’s a contract year player. Not that he is a bad payer, but maybe he gives an extra efford in contract year and in others years he enters in “relax” mode. But thats just my opinion, and i am know to drif from reality…
Tell me Mr Contract Year player
How does Lewis pass to himself? How can he get himself more involved in the offensive game plan? Mike Thomas has dropped six passes in the last two games. Marcedes dropped one pretty important one.
If you have paid attention to Lewis you’ve seen him progress year over year, each year he got better. It wasn’t like all of a sudden he went from bust to star, he had been getting better every year. So calling him a contract year player is just ignorant.
Lock him up
Unless he can’t stay healthy…we’ve already had enough experience with those kind of DE’s…or he starts looking awful for some reason. He does remind me a lot of a Paul Spicer. Tough, great work ethic, hard worker, and productive. We can’t lose depth and talent on the D’ Line!

Because premier pass rushers are easy to find....
I hope Quinton Coples is some kind of crazy Julius Peppers and jags take him in the draft. ohhh wait, the Jaguars already gonna take a premier WR. oh crap, cant we have both?
Soo..
We aren’t supposed to overreact when certain players do something poorly but its ok for others, goitt . Can I get a list of these players, I’m so confused.
