I really don't think Jack Del Rio threw David under the bus for play calling. I think he said we are going to help him more. If anything, he admitted the coaching mistake. I know it is fashionable to "Fire Del Rio" right now, but this is not the reason. I still like the progress of Derrick Harvey . I think he is becoming a better and smarter player. Remember, he didn't play football until...
More photos » by Don Wright - AP Browse more photos » In the NFL, there's very little room for such novelties as patience and perspective. Aaron Maybin is 21 years old. He entered the 2009 NFL Draft after his sophomore year in college, one in which he led the Big 10 with 12 sacks at Penn State. Throughout the entire pre-draft process, Maybin was labeled with such words as "light,"...

Browse more photos » Since Reggie Hayward went down with a season ending injury, the team has tried to make a 3-4 defense work in Duval. This has resulted in mixed results as the Jaguars have attempted to make their personnel fit the scheme. Derrick Harvey is one of the catastrophes of this misshapen method....
Between bursts of self-assault, Owen Schmitt occasionally plays fullback. Not that I don't find a man hitting himself in the head entertaining, but I thought we could take a break from analyzing the patterns of his blood spatters to watch him play football. Watching athletes play sports is an increasingly novel concept. I am awaiting the day ESPN does to its sports coverage what MTV has done with music...
Ray Willis sleepwalked through the first quarter. What more could he do? He wasn't challenged, protected or counted on. He was invisible -- in a good way. That put me in a spot. I wanted to follow up on him after his perceived disastrous week in Indy, but if nothing's happening, nothing's happening. Then something happened. Seattle is set three wide, two tight ends. The right wide out is Justin Forsett...

After following the team through the draft and preseason and now the first three games, I am forming some thoughts. Maybe you agree, maybe not. I am interested in your comments, well most of your comments. Here are my ideas to date... The offensive line looked better against Houston than I thought they would. A good offensive line allowed David to get comfortable and the receivers didn't look as mediocre....

He was meeting fans, answering questions, giving away tickets and previewing the team's upcoming game. Maybe he should...

Wyche, a seventh-round draft pick in 2006, had been a candidate to replace Hayward. Now, the...

What has happened to everyone? In the preseason, everyone agreed that this is a rebuilding year. This is a year to evaluate talent, reinstall a physical and focused and disciplined mindset, and to, for once, let Gene and Jack do their jobs. In just a few days after the Jaguars played better than anyone expected, suddenly everyone is head over heels for Tim Tebow, wants to fire Jack Del Rio, hates Derrick...
