From Knucklehead to Spearhead: Jaguars’ David Garrard Needed Comeback
Published on: 19th October, 2009
With under five minutes left in Sunday's game, Jaguars quarterback David Garrard seemed to have lobbed a softball to the St. Louis Rams and his detractors. His absent-minded screen pass to fullback Greg Jones hung in the air in front of Rams defensive end Leonard Little, an indictment of the tunnel-vision ...Jacksonville Jaguars’ Eugene Monroe Must Start, Despite Recent Struggles
Published on: 13th October, 2009
To say that the past two weeks have been an "unkind" stretch for rookie left tackle Eugene Monroe would be quite the understatement. Coming off an impressive performance against the Houston Texans, where he held All-Pro defensive end Mario Williams without a sack, Monroe was one of three Jaguars to catch ...Where’s 91? Week 4: Jaguars’ Derrick Harvey Must Menace Wounded Seahawks
Published on: 10th October, 2009
Matched up against one of the NFL's best left tackles last week, Derrick Harvey's production was understandably up-and-down. Michael Roos, Tennessee's All-Pro blind side bookend, was able to wall Harvey off on several successful runs in the first half—while the game hadn't yet gotten out-of-hand on the scoreboard. The Titans gained 37 ...Jacksonville Jaguars: A Quick Look Back at the “Worsts” and “Bests” from the First Four Games
Published on: 8th October, 2009
To be sure, the Jaguars aren't stopping at 2-2 to trumpet their successes or bemoan their failures thus far. "Our expectation is for getting ready for Seattle," quarterback David Garrard said after Jacksonville's 37-17 win against the Tennessee Titans. "We can write our own story." Riding a two-game winning streak over divisional foes, ...From The Seats in Jacksonville: At Jaguars’ Win, 46,031 Fans Felt Like Enough

It wasn't enough to prevent the second Jacksonville TV blackout of the season. It isn't enough to cushion the financial blow the Jaguars are taking from more than 20,000 unsold tickets. It won't be enough, if it continues, to keep the team from looking hard at relocation. But during Sunday's 37-17 rout ...Where’s 91? Week 3: Harvey Rattles Texans Twice Late in Jaguars’ Win
Published on: 28th September, 2009
For Jacksonville's Derrick Harvey, Sunday's game at Houston was the first regular day he's had on the job in some time. Amidst a six-man rotation on the Jaguars' defensive line, Harvey played most snaps bulling forward from left end, both in three-man fronts and goal-line situations. The Jaguars moved their ...‘Battle’-Ready Jacksonville Jaguars Run Over Texans in Win at Houston
Published on: 27th September, 2009
In the midst of the Jacksonville Jaguars' game-long gashing of the Houston Texans' league-worst run defense Sunday, one play stood out as the Jaguars' signature. 1-10-HOU 19 (11:32) 32-[Maurice] Jones-Drew up the middle to HST 14 for 5 yards (93-[Tim] Bulman). NFL.com's play-by-play account of the game, short and to-the-point, does little ...Where’s 91? Week 2: Jaguars Saddle Harvey With Big-Body Grunt Work
Published on: 23rd September, 2009
If the Jaguars keep trying to use Derrick Harvey as a big body, they're going to waste him. Reggie Hayward's season-ending injury in Jacksonville's loss at Indianapolis likely forced Harvey into his role this past Sunday. With new defensive coordinator Mel Tucker employing mostly three-man fronts in the first two regular ...Not in The Cards: Jaguars Put Down Early in 31-17 Loss To Arizona
Published on: 20th September, 2009
NFL.com's play-by-play account of the Jacksonville Jaguars' home-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals does little justice to the first of two second-quarter plays that broke open a back-and-forth contest. 3-12-ARI 28 (11:57) (Shotgun) 9-[David] Garrard pass incomplete short left to 81-[Torry] Holt. On the play, which reads like a garden-variety misfire by ...Jaguars’ Punishing Ground Game Eclipsed By Colts’ Pass Pressure in Loss
