RiotCommander said:Yeah I'm watching this game too. Also, keeping track of the Saints v Colts game on NFL.com. The Jags D is impressive. John Henderson is one massive man eh?
texan279 said:Our offensive line is going to have a big challenge going up against the hags defensive line.
jerek said:I never understand how Byron Leftwich plays football. He is slower than slow and he constantly looks out of it, like he's both drunk and depressed. He always has this Capers-esque "duh, what is going on" look about him. He's played pretty piss poor so far but statistically he's always put up across a season. Jacksonville's D-line is monstrous as usual.
RiotCommander said:Man I cannot wait until we get the chance to play Jacksonville if they play like this on Offense. =) It may be a low scoring game, but I think we should win.
texan279 said:Leftwich is like a statue back there.
jerek said:A statue that can't throw. I know this guy is supposed to be pretty decent, but every game I see with him he sucks.

texan279 said:From what I have seen of him, he's got a gun for an arm, he needs lots of time in the pocket, and his passes are either spot on or no where close to the target.
D-ReK said:That's what I've seen as well...Also, he holds on to the ball for an eternity...A couple of the times he was sacked in the first half were simply because he would not get rid of the ball...
texan279 said:I am curious to see how the season goes along for the hags without Jimmy Smith, they've got Jones who is a big target, but he doesn't seem as fast as advertised to me, although I haven't seen all that much of him.

D-ReK said:That's what I've gathered from watching Jones as well...He also doesn't seem to position himself well when the ball is in the air...The few times I have seen him, he doesn't seem to use his size advantages, but he is still new to the position...
As a whole, they have a lot of potential, but someone needs to step up and replace Smith, or else they are in danger of ending up like the Tack receiver corps, a whole bunch of 2s and 3s with no clear cut number one guy...
texan279 said:The only thing that wories me about playing the hags is that if our front 7 on defense can't put pressure on Leftwich, I think the hags WR's can take advantage of the size advantage over our DB's. Our tallest CB is 6'1'' with Lewis Sanders and John Walker, the rest of our CB's are under 6'. Three of the 4 starting WR's for the hags are 6'4'' or taller.
D-ReK said:That's very true, but we should be able to get pressure on a consistent basis this year and make it where Byron doesn't have long to go through his progressions...What worries me is that they have very capable TEs as well as WRs, and I'm not sure if we have improved in our TE coverage...
texan279 said:Boy the hags 1st team offense looks good against the Bucs 2nd team defense... Their first etam has scored twice...against the Bucs second team defense...
RiotCommander said:I know, the worst part is their fans seem to not notice its the 2nd team. I'm sure they are talking trash too. Man I can't wait till the reg season.
thunderkyss said:4 sacks in the first half........
they'll be screaming for Gurard by week 2.
texan279 said:Half of them have been screaming for Garrard for 2 years already.
mexican_texan said:Mark my words. Gradkoski will eventually start for the Bucs. Gruden likes the kid and played well last time I checked.
No, hence the "last time I checked." I've pieced many clues together to make my educated guess. Plus, he's still a rookie.texan279 said:Huh? Did you watch the game? Are you being serious?
