As the Jacksonville Jaguars have finished the 2012 NFL preseason with their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, check out what the coaches and players are saying following the final preseason game.

Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey on the come-from-behind wins: "I know it’s preseason too, but I told them last week that we are in the business of winning football games. Any way you can find a way to win football games, we are going to do it. I don’t care what game it is. I’m very proud of this bunch. If you watch the sidelines, there were guys who came out of the game early and they were into the game and helping the others. It is a very close team I feel based on the way they have come together and based on some of the things on that sideline. I have been on a lot of sidelines during a preseason game and they are thinking about every else but football. These guys were into the game all the way until the end. They were supportive of the guys that were in the game. That says a lot about his football team and in the locker room. "

Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert on not unveiling the offense just yet: "Exactly and kind of our mindset is you got to take what they’re giving you. When they’re playing in the deep two shell, cover two shell, you’re not going to get a lot of throws down the field because those safeties have free rein, the Mike backer is deep but we got the look we wanted to. Laurent did a great job. He sold the run, the offensive line did and we had it. We’re going to get some of those this season."

Jaguars receiver Kevin Elliott on his feelings about making the final roster: "I believe so, I know my work is not done though so I’ve just got to keep working keep getting better while staying humble and when I get that call when I’ve made the 53 (roster) it’s only the beginning from here on out and I think I’ll get better every day."

Jaguars defensive back Antwon Blake on being a "bubble" guy: "I’d be lying if I said it won’t be on my mind a lot but I’m just going to try to do some things to keep my mind off of it right now because what’s done is done and I can just hope that I put enough on film for them to feel like they can use me in a good way. I’m putting it in God’s hands and the coaches hands and hopefully I come out on top."
