The Jaguars need the bye week to find a way to replace Mike Peterson at linebacker.  Tony Gilbert filled in for Peterson when he hurt himself and finished with 3 tackles.  The Jaguars defense has been the strength of the team so far.  The Jags are holding opponents to 92.2 yards rushing and only 3.5 yards per carry.  The Jaguars secondary is very aggressive and have already intercepted 9 passes and held opposing QBs to a 60.1 QB rating.

Hopefully Matt Jones will be ready to return after the bye week to give Leftwich another weapon.  Young running back Maurice Drew (177 yards rushing) has been doing a great job giving Fred Taylor a break here and there to keep him fresh.  Fred Taylor is having a great season and is the key to the offense being effective (367 yards rushing).  It would be nice if Ernest Wilford stepped up his play a little bit (14 rec, 187 yards) and take some of the pressure off of Reggie Williams (24 rec, 297 yards) who has been outstanding.
