“It’s déjà vu all over again”. Yogi Berra
The Indianapolis Colts never cease to amaze me; although to be fair, when you have been a Colts fan for as long as I have (39 years and counting), what they seem to do on a weekly basis seems eerily commonplace. When the Colts went to take on [...]
Typically, the San Francisco’s game plan is usually dictated by the run and their defense. During Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Candlestick Park, there was a slight change of plans in the team playbook as the pass would take center stage, with decent results. Alex Smith threw for a pair of touchdowns while [...]
NFL.com says that the Jags say they will get RB Maurice Jones-Drew more carries today vs the Chiefs:
Head coach Jack Del Rio realized audibles that take the ball out of Maurice Jones-Drew’s hands and put it into David Garrard’s aren’t in the best interest of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Del Rio told me he will [...]
The Houston Texans were riding a bit of momentum as they hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday at Reliant Stadium, riding the arm of quarterback Matt Schaub and the speed of wide receiver Andre Johnson. Unfortunately for the Texans, some mistakes, namely running back Chris Brown’s fumble, along with a supreme effort by Jaguars RB Maurice [...]

RB Maurice Jones-Drew might not be 100 percent when the season begins after [...]

The Jaguars have offered running back [...]
Fred Taylor is out the door in Jacksonville, meaning that the running game now belongs to Maurice Jones-Drew. Even though it looks like Greg Jones will get some carries, Jones-Drew is for sure the feature back in their system.
