By Hays Carlyon   The Urban decay is gone. The Renaissance led by Trevor Lawrence and Doug Pederson is here. The good times are coming. The Jaguars will win eight games this season after going a miserable 4-29 combined over the last two seasons. The head coach has been dramatically upgraded as Pederson, a Super Bowl champion, takes over for the stunningly unprepared Meyer. The offense lost three players of […]

However, the public reception from the national sports media has been mixed, to say the least. On the one hand, the argument is that the Jaguars needed to overpay for […]

By Hays Carlyon   First-year Jaguars coach Doug Pederson is trying to build a winning culture. That means bringing in a bunch of new veterans. It also means saying goodbye to entrenched Jaguars who have been immersed in losing for several years. After agreeing to terms with six players on Monday during the NFL’s opening day of legal tampering, the Jaguars cut one mainstay -- linebacker Myles Jack – while […]
