By Hays Carlyon HOUSTON – Drops. Penalties. Inability to line up. Turnovers. Defensive miscues. All doomed the Jaguars in a 37-21 disaster to Houston that opened the regular season Sunday at NRG Stadium. This was as bad an opener as a team can have. Most NFL games are lost, not won. The Jaguars lived that saying in one of the most mistake-filled performances in recent memory (which is a […]
By Hays Carlyon First-round running back Travis Etienne has already been lost for the season with a foot injury. The Jaguars simply can’t afford much more attrition. That’s a tough ask with a new 17-game schedule launching Sunday at Houston. But who are the 10 players the Jaguars simply must have available on a weekly basis? Let’s rank them. Talent as well as depth at a position are paramount […]
By Hays Carlyon The preseason ended on a positive note for the Jaguars after an impressive 34-14 victory in Dallas on Sunday. Now, the focus turns to trimming the roster to the 53-man limit by 4 p.m. Tuesday. I do expect the Jaguars to claim four-to-six players off the waiver wire as they have the first pick on every player that is cut. That’s 837 players the Jaguars will make […]
By Hays Carlyon Logic finally won the day at TIAA Bank Field. Jaguars coach Urban Meyer finally declared the obvious on Wednesday. Top-overall pick Trevor Lawrence is the Jaguars starting quarterback. The former Clemson phenom will start Sunday’spreseason finale at Dallas and, most importantly, will be the starter when the Jaguars open the season at Houston on Sept. 12. Meyer admitted Lawrence needs the reps as the offense has struggled in preseason […]
By Hays Carlyon Urban Meyer’s wallowing Jaguars offense suffered a brutal setback on Tuesday. ESPN and NFL Network both reported that rookie running back Travis Etienne will likely miss the entire season after suffering a Lisfranc foot injury in Monday night’s loss to New Orleans. The Jaguars selected Etienne in the first round with the 25th-overall pick. Meyer believed Etienne could offer the offense dynamic playmaking both as a runner […]
By Hays Carlyon NEW ORLEANS — An NFL offense isn’t going to accomplish much missing its three best offensive linemen. The Jaguars were disappointing in a 23-21 loss to the Saints on “Monday Night Football” at the Caesars Superdome, heading into halftime down 17-3. There was little improvement after a dismal opening loss to Cleveland to start the preseason. But I can’t panic. I can’t read too much into it. […]
By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars offense should have been able to dominate the edge in Saturday night’s preseason opener against Cleveland at TIAA Bank Field. The Browns were sitting standout defensive end Myles Garrett, as well as his counterpart on the other side Jadeveon Clowney. The Jaguars were playing their starting offensive tackles in Cam Robinson and Jawaan Taylor. They should’ve won this night. Easily. Instead, they both struggled. Rookie quarterback […]
By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars are seven practices into training camp. It’s time to evaluate. Jaguars first-year coach Urban Meyer is doing that with his staff on Thursday while the players are off. “Every off day we have a two-hour personnel meeting, so tomorrow we will have another one,” Meyer said after Wednesday’s practice. “We had one on Sunday and I have all the coaches rank one through (the rest) […]
By Hays Carlyon Jaguars first-year coach Urban Meyer has radically transformed the Jaguars roster through free agency, the draft and trades. But which additions will make the biggest impact this fall? Let’s rank them. We’re considering only players here. Obviously, Meyer is a huge addition as a three-time national championship winning coach. This list reflects how I believe these new additions will affect this season only. In putting the […]
