Your weekly Wednesday Aaron Kampman practice update, with a bonus hair style report | jacksonville.com
Big news: Aaron Kampman cut his hair. Yes, those wild locks of his are no more. The Jaguars defensive end showed up at practice today with a shorter, more businesslike do. What's that? You don't think that's news?

Cecil Shorts crossed the aisle in search for some advice recently. He didn't just seek out receivers and tight ends who could help his transition to the NFL. The Jaguars rookie receiver talked to defensive players, too. He asked cornerback Rashean Mathis how he could make it in the NFL as long as the nine-year veteran had.

Sam, a Jaguars fan and regular reader, thinks I’ve been too hard on the Jaguars' defense. (I wish he’d leave his email when he writes my mailbag.) I’ve tried to couch it. The Jaguars' offense is way worse, of course. But the team’s resources for immediate results went into the defense, and a veteran group needs to carry the club while Blaine Gabbert endures the early hardships of being a rookie quarterback with limited weapons. I’m hardly the only one who thinks the Jaguars' defense can do more.
