If Laurent Robinson’s start was slow, Wednesday was faster. Robinson, a veteran wide receiver and a key off-season free agent acquisition, made a few headlines early in camp with a few dropped passes over the weekend. He had a better practice Tuesday, following that with perhaps his best practice Wednesday morning. Robinson, who caught 10 touchdown passes for the Dallas Cowboys last season, had a stretch of three consecutive receptions early in 7-on-7 drills Wednesday, then followed that with a 35-yard reception from second-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert in team drills.

Last year, France represented Prince Amukamara of the New York Giants, who was the last first-rounder to sign on Aug. 4. The next day, he suffered a broken foot.
Mincey's goal for Jags defense: No. 1 rank - AFC South Blog - ESPN
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- We can’t say the Jaguars defense didn’t get enough credit for its fine play in 2011. The big goal is to play a big role in winning games, and Jacksonville only did that five times. Still, finishing sixth in total defense with the injuries the Jaguars had was an impressive feat. Six starters missed time, with nine defenders who would have seen regular time in at least situational packages ending the year on injured reserve. But total defense is about yards, and games are about points.
