Well the Jaguars offense has been disappointing in 2011 and now the Jaguars are making moves to rectify that. Jason Hill, the team's top receiver on the depth chart has been waived and replaced on the active roster by DuJuan Harris.
Hill looked like an intriguing new target for the Jaguars offense when he was claimed from the 49ers in the middle of the 2010 season, but ultimately failed as a starting receiver for the Jaguars, catching only 25 passes for 367 yards through 11 games. A potential game-winning pass was sent his way at the end of the game against the Cleveland Browns in week 11, but was dropped, only exacerbate the team's and the fans' frustrations.
Harris is a player that many fans have been calling for to be given a chance after a relatively productive preseason in which he scored a touchdown rushing and had a receiving touchdown.
Safety Courtney Greene was also announced as heading to the injured reserve, making him the team's league-leading 19th player to head to the list. CB Morgan Trent replaces Greene and gives the Jaguars another body in a now depleted secondary. Trent spent three years with the Bengals before being released where he spent a small amount of time with Indianapolis this month.
The Jaguars now have one open spot on their practice squad.

Hey to the dude who said Jeremy Mincey was just a guy
And Derek Cox was painfully average
I told you so.
It’s easy to be a jerk man.
Now, as for Hill, I said he was the most productive receiver this season, and has been the best receiver for much of this year, based on that production.That’s basically the truth, considering he has the second most receiving yards, most yards per catch among players with more than 1 reception, and the most touchdowns. I made it very clear that I thought Thomas was the team’s best player at the position.
You sure do love to create your own version of things. I guess you need to cling to a certain level of assumed superiority to justify your attitude.
It’s also easy to miss a sarcastic joke. No surprise who missed it and in turn went on a diatribe.
You sure do love to try and prove how “right” you are, when it’s not necessary at all.
Interesting
I know Jason was signed to be the deep threat, but wasn’t he also the only dude actually catching something this year?
Wrong.
Marcedes leads with 5. Hill and Thomas have 4 each. MJD and Shorts are right there with 3.
Lewis is inexecusable. Why MJD, they’re swing passes. Shorts has more drops than receptions – it’s good to be the rookie.

Hill had more than 4 drops. He had 4 drops in the last 3 weeks.
Then again, lets cite the stats of a purely subjective one.

I will say that minus the facia growth
and you look just like a guy I went to high school with. bit creepy if you ask me.
I know people are going to get all bent out of shape at this, but...
I’m not that impressed with DuJaun Harris. I hope he does well, though.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
What happened to richard murphy? I thought he had looked better in the preseason?
did we cut him in favor of harris?
Still
I think he could do better than Deji has lately. I don’t know what’s wrong with lately. I think a lot of it is mental. All of his timing is off. Harris also has better between the tackles ability.
Maybe
His vision/depth perception is off, I heard one of the commentators mention he has had to have eye surgery, thats why he wears the visor.
what's wrong is he doesn't hit the hole
either from scrimmage or on kick returns. when he sees contact, he stops and doesn’t try to run through it
Section 442, RIP
"You think you know, but you don't know."
I understand that
but he’s done it at times. Something is going wrong mentally. I wonder if he’s hiding an injury or if he’s just questioning himself.
Jason Hill we hardly knew ye
and you were bad

We all wanted to like Hill...
but my man was always falling down on routes, dropping balls, etc.
He is who the 49ers thought he was!
Fidelis Ad Mortem
Is Robiskie up to speed?
I think this is a good move, gets us to see a little more of Dillard and West before the season is over. I also don’t really understand the DuJuan move if they plan to use him at RB. If we wont put Owens as the number 2 RB, then why would they put DuJuan there? Maybe he will spend some time at WR.
Owens isn't a good RB
He’s stronger than Deji, but he runs like a camel.

Our GM is insane
We give Jeff Francoeur a 2 year extension, and now were signing an has been used up fat ass Broxton to be the set-up man or even 7th inning man for a cool 4 mil……And now our set up/7th inning man who was an all star is now going to be a starter, and he has two pitches and a BB/9 of 4.5….God damn I hate all my teams

That was funny. I wonder if he speed alone will get him signed somewhere next year.
Throw the ball, score points.
Good for Harris
I figured Hill wouldn’t last the off-season if we upgraded the position, but didn’t expect it this soon.
"I love lamp"
Doesn't make sense to me
Hill hasn’t been the worst receiver by far.
25/53 (4 drops), 14.3 yds/rcpt, 3TD
He may have the worst completion % out of the three (Hill, Dillard, Thomas), but his total yds and yds/ctch are dominant.
I said the same..
Not sure why him of the three, but on the flipside he was signed to be a deep threat. I would say Gene knows what he’s doing but I might throw up in my mouth if I say it.
One of these things is not like the others....
Thomas was just re-signed / extended, but they were both taken in the ’09 draft by Gene.
I refuse to hold a GM accountable for a failed 7th round pick. Sorry, but that's just me.
at that stage it’s pretty much a throwaway pick that has a slight edge over a UDFA

because mike thomas just signed a contract extension
And Dillard has shown up well since he has had more playing time

he (Hill) was acting up and not caring a few weeks ago. Upset the management. You know what that means around here.

Breaking News: According to my sources
R. Jay Soward and Jerry Porter have moved into a single home near Everbank Field….they may or may not sign a one day contract with the Jags so they can go into the Hall of Fame a Jaguar

1) That wouldn’t be a surprise.
2) I haven’t seen anything I’d call slacking. Care to give any examples?
I can't exactly give any examples
just have to watch him. He’s still got the ability, but he doesn’t look like he’s trying anymore. It’s not Albert Haynesworth bad, but you can see him not trying as hard as he used to.
Honestly, I think it's the new rules on special teams
He’s mainly a special teams guy and with the change of the spot he’s doing less and less. A competitor with minimal effect on the game coupled with losing, I’d say he’s checked out.
However, I think he makes a big play against San Diego on Monday night… I mean he has to, right?
only thing I see is he's discouraged with his lack of opportunities on offense
He was promised something and it has not come about

the tweet
“Filed to ESPN: Jacksonville fired WR coach Johnny Cox. It made OC Dirk Koetter QB coach. And it moved QB coach Mike Sheppard to WR coach.”
I'd like to read:
QB Coach Mike Sheppard moved to outside of EverBank Field and asked to never return.

Well cutting Hill doesn't come as a surpise to me...
I mean the reason he was cut is obvious, Cecil Shorts finally caught as pass so he must be moving into the starting lineup. HA.
He probably will
start hitting his stride soon. Not much evidence to suggest that, but I got the feeling.
1. Hill’s gone.
2. They tried to get him involved more last week.
3. He has the ability and availability
I like that about me too
lol
To me it was like watching MJD his rookie year and thinking, this guy is going to be good. The only question was, how good.
Waiving Jason Hill proved to be a decent transaction by simply showing the other players mediocrity won’t be accepted anymore out of this position. Hill did not deserve to be the #1 WR and given the chance he did not produce. I’ m cheering for Dujuan Harris to do very well.

So, to go bring up and oldie but a goodie...
is GM Gene still satisfied with the WR group we have here?

Now that JDR is Gone
Now that JDR is gone, Smith has free reign to make moves. I wonder what input Tucker has. Smith’s strategy seems to be get rid of the players who have “peaked” at a low level and promote or bring-in players he wants to evaluate for next season. We need to look at Bradfield at OT. Whimper seems to have “peaked.”
Hopefully we start giving Karim less carries please...and Dillard more attempts...all he does it catch the ball if it hits his hands...
Travis D. Holmes
Because people read a comment on here, hate it and disagree with it
but then subconsciously begin to agree with it, accept it as a firm belief, and then repost it as their unique opinion. Though I am in no way saying that T.Holmes did that, just something I’ve noticed in a general sense.
Nope. I've been saying it ever since I started reading pro football focus and the other sites on my phone at work (after every week seeing the updates posted here). Dude almost always catches the ball when it's thrown to him...and this week seeing him in
the Texans game solidified that mindset.
Travis D. Holmes
folks got disenchanted with him because he has ended his only 2 years on IR similar to Sims Walker

Cox getting fired
ain’t news. He wasn’t coming back next year anyway.
It is news actually
Jon Broxton and Jeff Francoeur walk into a bar
by tiquanunderwear on Nov 30, 2011 6:10 PM EST up reply actions
but as of an hour ago he was WR coach, and now he is not
so I figured that a current event, which would classify as something that might be reported on the local NEWS is that Cox was fired.
Tucker already making coaching staff moves
That make more sense than any Del Rio made recently
Blackmon, Floyd, Or Jeffery?
Dangerous question I know.
If hip hop is dead, then it happened the day that Dilla died.
-Akrobatik
I've
Been re-watching taped games of all three recently. Personally Jeffery is my favorite. Only real concern there is his speed, but he has everything else one could want in a high end pick. I think Floyd’s overrated, and Blackmon is ultra-productive, but im not sure about his route running.

Jeffrey had hand surgery today I believe

Thomas just signed an extension
guess thats why he is sticking around. Oh well guess this means more Dillard, West, and Shorts.

So is Koetter doing double duty or REALLY moved to QB coach? Not sure if I’m misunderstood…..
by orecic76 on Nov 30, 2011 8:58 PM EST via mobile reply actions
he is likely going to be OC and QB Coach
to be honest I think in some ways every OC should also be the QB coach
I agree…..wut good is he if he doesn’t a little bit…..for some reason I believe Dirk is someone that JDR wanted or hired, bad move.
by orecic76 on Nov 30, 2011 9:53 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I think Dujuan Harris has been signed to the active roster
in an attempt to develop him more in, live game experience.
