The Jaguars pushed the Bucs around on Saturday Night.  Byron Leftwich had a decent game completing 6 of 12 passes for 81 yards.  David Garrard was the star of the show on Saturday Night though as he completed 11 of 14 passes for 129 yards and he also carried the ball 3 times for 9 yards (3.0 ypc) with a TD run.  Lester Ricard finished up the game completing the only pass he attempted for 21 yards.  Undrafted rookie D.D. Terry from Sam Houston State has no realistic shot of making the Jaguars opening day lineup but that didn’t stop him from rushing for 49 yards on 10 carries (4.9 ypc) Saturday Night.  The Jags showcased LeBrandon Toefield for a trade and he looked good carrying the football 5 times for 29 yards (5.8 ypc) and a TD.  Greg Jones (5 car, 25 yards) and Alvin Pearman (6 car, 20 yards, TD) both looked good in their battle to be the #3 RB for the Jags this season.  Fred Taylor got his work in carrying the ball 6 times for 16 yards (2.7 ypc) with a TD run.  Charles Sharon led the way for the Jags with 3 grabs for 54 yards (18.0 avg) as he is moving up the Jags’ depth chart quickly.  RB Maurice Jones-Drew didn’t run the football but he was busy as he caught 2 passes for 47 yards (23.5 avg).  Rookie John Broussard (2 rec, 29 yards) and Ernest Wilford (3 rec, 28 yards) also had decent games.  The Jaguars finished up with 154 yards rushing on 37 carries (4.2 ypc) and they completed 18 of 27 passes for 223 yards.

The Jags defense didn’t play as well as usual as they allowed the Bucs to rush for 114 yards on 24 carries (4.8 ypc) on Saturday Night.  The Bucs also completed 22 of 30 passes for 208 yards.  The Jags will likely tighten up the D more as the season gets closer to starting.
