Taylor Price Thrust Into The Lineup

On Monday, the Jacksonville Jaguars claimed wide receiver Taylor Price when he was waived by the New England Patriots. Price was a third round pick out of the Ohio University and was a favorite among draftniks in that draft class. He's a fast receiver who's got decent size. In his first practice with the Jaguars however, he was thrust into quite a bit of reps, including fielding kicks.
"I was taking some reps, taking down the offense," Price told the Florida Times-Union after practice. "My head is kind of spinning a little bit. It's a little different scheme than what they ran in Boston. I'll be able to catch on pretty fast." With just four games left on the season and the team sitting at 3-8, the final games are critical "auditions" so to speak for the 2012 season. Price is under contract until the end of the 2013 season, so he could make an impression on the Jaguars and stick around. They're desperate for help at the position, so it shouldn't be difficult for Price to make an impact.

Translation: “This offense compared to the Pats is like 3rd grade math compared to rocket science.”

The Jaguars haven’t had a lot of success picking up or trading for former high round wide receiver picks (Williamson, Hill, Robiske). Hopefully Price works out, but after the last few pick ups I’m going to hold off my excitement until he performs.
"I love lamp"
Williamson – 7th rounder – what do you expect
Hill – 3rd Round – playing at the level he was picked
Robiskie – 2nd round – should be an improvement
Troy Williamson?
Is that who you’re talking about that we traded for from the Vikings? He was a former 1st round pick. Idk who you’re talking about that’s a 7th rounder.
prolly thinking of underwood

Not to put words in Tony's mouth
But he probably meant we traded a 7th rounder for him…but ofcourse I could be wrong

Hamstring Epidemic
Hopefully, Price doesn’t pull a hamstring in practice and wind up on the IR. With the bad karma surrounding our receivers, Price took a heck of a chance in coming to Jacksonville. BTW, the Bucs only have 7 players on IR.

Williamson correction
TonyJax, Williamson was the 7th overall pick in the first round out of South carolina, not a 7th rd pick. I believe the jags traded a 7th rounder to acquire him though

How do you feel about Pujols, Alfie?

He's a great hitter who I wish would've retired as a Card
but would be absolutely ridiculously stupid to pass up the money that is literally being thrown at him.
Don’t blame him, but he isn’t worth that kinda money. That’s how sports works.

He is on the backside of his career. Don't know why you would pay him 200 mil + over 10 years.
He may only get 5 out of those 10.
Can't you see the Cards going after Fielder?

Good Article
Just a correction. It’s Ohio University not the University of Ohio. Graduate ’06
Okay
I know this is the wrong topic, BUT, what if the Colts don’t draft Luck? The Rams have Bradford, and the Vikings have Ponder. Is there any frikkin way that we could move up to take him? The Colts would enjoy only moving down like three spots. At that point, throw Gabbert in the trash.
Neither Bradford nor Ponder have been Brady or Manning
so, why wouldn’t they take Luck?
by Sylvester.The.Jaguar.fan on Dec 8, 2011 4:29 PM EST up reply actions
I don't think there is any way the Colts don't take Luck
Frankly I think they planned the whole season out just to get Luck.

I think we should hope the colts win three games and we should not win any more.
What else would it take? Luck’s gonna be ridiculously good. And that bothers me that we’re missing on him.
Not gonna happen, it's a done deal
All we can hope is that Luck suffers a career-ending though not bodily harmful injury.

I think
Andrew Luck’s father has more sway in this than Manning’s, I wouldn’t be shocked to see an Eli type move made “we refuse to sign here”
"...I'm not trying to act giddy but the guy is a stud.'' - Terry McDonough, Director of Player Personnel, Jacksonville Jaguars
everyone is expecting Oliver Luck to pull a power play. I don't think he'll do it.
I mean, what other option does Luck have aside from coming back to college and hoping some other desirable team drafts him in 2013? The money is what it is, probably a slight bump from Newton’s deal, maybe $5M total.

All I can say is...
With the Jags facing the Colts in the last game of the season, it is going to be an odd exhibition of two teams not really trying to win because a W at that point will hurt you more than it helps your club moving forward..not a big difference between 1-15 and 0-16 in 100% of Colts fans’ minds…

Please oh please..
turn out to be better than average.
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Lets just hope for average first..lol
by Sylvester.The.Jaguar.fan on Dec 8, 2011 4:31 PM EST up reply actions
You can bet the farm...
that Indy is selecting Luck with the first pick. If by some chance they win these last four games and the Jags end up with the first pick, I suspect the Jags would seriously ponder taking him.
Great
Put Price in and see if he’s worth anything. Once again, the “Welcome to Jacksonville” sign should read “Where Wide Receivers come to end any kind of football career.”

Agreed
He probably is actually the best if he is allowed to play his role in the slot without defenses focusing on him…
Dude you realize he struggles in man coverage regardless of where he is lined up?
He never separates unless the defense plays zone. Its amazing some of you think this guy is good. He clearly isn’t.
Guy Whimper
He’s 1 for 1 in receptions. Can anyone beat this percentage?
Let's just sign every waived receiver
Then throw em IR so we can make room for more.
Business Plan:
Step 1: Collect Receivers
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Win

One of my all time fav episodes
Weird but hilarious. And appropriate given the way the FO seems to be running things lately
Lol @ JohnnyBiceps
…kinda like that draft we drafted basically a bunch of D Linemen and hoped for the best…this kind of roster building shows that Gene has absolutely NO faith in our player development..and rightly so..how good a guy is when we draft him is basically the way he stays as long as he is a Jag. I’ve been screaming this for years now.

I think I know what the Jaguars are doing?
Getting a bunch of receivers, throwing them on IR, and when they are healthy next season, in training camp we will have a large stock of receivers to choose from.
Anyone interested in making money easy and quick on the interne, let me know through twitter or facebook(preferably facebook).

On Paper Underwood looks pretty good.
He’s an extremely fast receiver with good size who can contribute on ST.
He just can’t catch…

As long as he has good character. Its cool if he drops passes,all I want is someone kind and caring who likes the idea of winning.
