Sims Walker should fair better this time around!

by True Jag on Oct 18, 2011 4:28 PM EDT

Well isn't this exciting news and no one is happier the Rams released Mike Sims-Walker than than the Jaguars who receiving core has struggled since his departure.

Entering the season the Jags thought they would be better off without the injury prone Sims-Walker with the optimism that Jason Hill and young receivers on the roster will improve. Simply put, they were wrong.

This time around Jaguars know Sims-Walker is not a #1 receiver and should go back to the #2 receiver where he is most comfortable. I'm not saying they will, but the Jags should keep Jason Hill at the #! position, because he has the speed to stretch the field unlike Sims-Walker. I believe Hill will benefit from the attention he will get because I'm sure Blaine is happy to have a receiver over 6 feet with some talent. in 2009 & 2010, he had at least 11 plays for 20 yards or more and recorded 7 touchdowns in each season.

Another receiver who will benefit from this recent addition is Mike Thomas who can go back to the slot, where we have seen none to little production from Dillard and Shorts. Mike Thomas can work underneath and have more one on one coverage and turn short passes into long gains.

Sims-Walker is flying in now and with his previous knowledge of the playbook, I expect him to play a big role starting Monday night. Besides last year's embarrassment on Monday night football, the Jaguars usually play good at home with the lights on. It will be very interesting come Monday night to see if Sims-Walker can spark the passing game and the Jaguars offense.

i agree that he could play with a little more of a chip on his shoilder

Especially after back to back releases. I hope he plays like a man that has something to prove, and turns into the player that all of us Jag fans hoped he would be.

Someone's gotta take the blame right? Unfortunately, that person is JDR.
He look's broken anyways, I can see it in his eyes.

We didn't exactly cut him

more like we didn’t bring him back.

I now realize

that Hill isn’t a #1. He can’t catch short passes, like slants.

Honestly that really doesn't matter

as long as you do have a possession receiver to compliment him. Randy Moss was the same way. Never went over the middle, and rarely caught slants; and obviously Moss was a number 1.

Randy Moss ran 1 route.. The GO ROUTE..Didn't matter if he was triple teamed . he still beat it and caught the ball..

JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!!!

Hill is a speed, deep threat type of receiver

not a possession receiver

Blocking whats that?

If MJD has to sit back and block every snap, does not matter what we get as WR. Line is horrible at pass protection.

The Line...

isn’t as bad as you are making them out to be at pass protection. Rackley has been the biggest liability when in there and it is making the entire line look worse than what it is.

The Line...

14 sacks, 32nd in passing but 10th in rushing, line is good for rushing, not for pass protection. good news is 4 of our receivers are + 10ypc so if he gets time they do make the most of it. Some of course can be blamed on a rookie but most of the time he seems to be running for his life, but he does have a good average running away..lol :)
