Jaguars vs Texans: Going for 8-8 Gameday Thread!

I agree with this. If this carries to next year, I see no reason to get a new RB. Build that secondary and o-line. We need those more than we need a RB.

Our RB situation is serviceable for an 8-8 team. With a good O line they'll be somewhat better. In the long run, we need a good RB. But the O line and the defensive backs need to come first.

Dayne will not last forever (unfortunately), but I've seen enough from Walker and Taylor to give them a chance to carry the load next year as we build our very weak spots. Hell, if Walker keeps playing the way he is...he could be that good RB of our future. He's got some pretty strong skills.

I think we are going to bring in a young running back to be the starter (draft or FA), Dayne will be the backup, and Walker and Taylor will fight for the last spot.

if taylor comes back healthy after only playing one year and walker after the same, we could do some damage if we improve the line. wouldn't that fit into kubiak's philosphy of system running backs?

I think if Walker can really get some consistency with his runs, and maybe put on another 15 - 20 pounds he can be a star.

EDIT: This is me eating crow for basically saying Walker is nothing more than a 3rd down back. He's looking pretty good today.
 
Well, crap. We need another TD now. We just CAN NOT lose this game. We just can't. Damn it. I want an 8-8 season. I don't want to be a loser anymore. I'M TIRED OF THAT ****.

Well said. I would be especially pissed to be loser for another year at the hands of Jacksonville's bench team.
 
I'm happy now. I'm think I'll have another jack Daniels and make a fool of myself again. Nothing like history repeating itself for comfort's sake. LOL
 
Aw, what the hell. Let's do another TD. It's a good day to win.
