Jacksonville Jaguars 13, Atlanta Falcons 7

Blogged under Game Recaps, Bloglockers, Front Page, General by dawgpounded on Monday 17 September 2007 at 11:44 am

The Jacksonville Jaguars looked much better yesterday than they did against the Titans in week #1.  The Jaguars had possession of the football for 34:15 of the game and the defense played very well.  David Garrard didn’t lead the offenes to many points but his numbers were still solid as he completed 17 of 25 passes for 272 yards with 1 TD pass and he also carried the football 5 times for 20 yards (4.0 ypc).  Fred Taylor (16 car, 56 yards) and Maurice Drew (11 car, 31 yards) were busy but neither of them was all that effective.  Dennis Northcutt was the leading receiver on the Jags with 5 catches for 75 yards (15.0 avg).  Reggie Williams also got out of the doghouse long enough to catch 2 passes for 41 yards and a TD.  The Jaguars finished up with 113 yards rushing on 34 carries (3.3 ypc) and they completed 17 of 25 passes for 251 yards.

The defense was outstanding and it was led by linebacker Mike Peterson who had 7 tackles and 2 sacks.  The Jaguars sacked Joey Harrington 7 times yesterday!  The Falcons finished up with 82 yards rushing on 25 carries (3.3 ypc) and they completed 12 of 20 passes for 166 yards.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Atlanta Falcons

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report, General by dawgpounded on Thursday 13 September 2007 at 10:15 am
The poor Atlanta Falcons.  They ran into a defensive buzzsaw last week in Minnesota and now they will have to deal with the talented and angry defense of the Jacksonville Jaguars.  The Falcons will definately try to run the football against the Jags who allowed 282 yards rushing on 49 carries last week (5.8 ypc) against the Tennessee Titans.  Warrick Dunn rushed for 55 yards on 22 carries (2.5 ypc) against a tough Vikings defense but Coach Petrino wants to expand Jerious Norwood’s role in the offense.  Dunn is starting to look beat down and old while Norwood has an extra spring in his step.  Norwood carried the ball 5 times for 33 yards (6.6 ypc) last week and he also caught 2 passes for 24 yards.  If the Falcons can get the running game going it would likely slow the pass rush down a little bit which would enable them to throw the ball down the field a bit.  More than likely the Falcons will concentrate on getting the ball to TE Alge Crumpler against the young safeties of the Jags.  Joey Harrington must not get happy feet if the Jags are bringing a blitz as he threw two pick sixes last week against the Vikings.

This is a game built for the Jaguars to punish someone.  They are likely angry after the Titans came into Jacksonville and pushed them around.  That will not happen this week against the Falcons.  Look for the Jaguars to get back to basic football as they will attack the Falcons soft run defense repeatedly.  The Falcons allowed 139 yards rushing on 27 carries (5.1 ypc) last week against the Vikings.  Look for the running game to be a time share between Fred Taylor (16 yards) and Maurice Jones-Drew (32 yards) pounding away at the Falcons defense.  LB Keith Brooking will likely be the main man that the Jags need to block to run amok on the Falcons defense.  Look for the Jags to throw the ball a little bit more than usual on first down to trick the Falcons defense.  They really need a receiver to step up and be the main man starting this week.

PREDICTION:  After this game the Falcons will be looking forward to there bye week because they won’t lose.  The Jaguars will stuff the Falcons running game and run all over them.  The Jags should win this football game by at least 10 points.

 

The Jacksonville Jaguars sign kicker John Carney

Blogged under Free Agent Additions, Bloglockers, Front Page, General by dawgpounded on Tuesday 11 September 2007 at 6:04 pm

The Jaguars have signed ancient (43 years old) kicker John Carney to replace Josh Scobee who is injured.  Carney had a solid year in 2006 for the New Orleans Saints as he connected on 23 of 25 field goals (92%) and he also made 46 of 47 extra points.  He finished up the season with 115 points which was an average of 7.2 points per game.  Look for him to do a good job for the Jaguars just don’t expect him to make many 50 yarders.

The Jacksonville Jaguars lose K Josh Scobee

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, General by dawgpounded on Monday 10 September 2007 at 2:45 pm

The Jaguars have lost kicker Josh Scobee for the next 6-8 weeks with a strained hamstring.  The Jags will work out a lot of kickers this week and I will keep you posted when they sign one.  Hopefully it will be a veteran with some skills.

Tennessee Titans 13, Jacksonville Jaguars 10

Blogged under Game Recaps, Bloglockers, Front Page, General by dawgpounded on Sunday 9 September 2007 at 10:51 pm

The Tennessee Titans pushed the Jags around despite the final score being close.  The Titans controlled the clock for 36:55 of this football game.  The Titans rushed for 282 yards on 49 carries (5.8 ypc) against an alleged good defense of the Jags.  The Jags did stop the passing game of the Titans as they only completed 11 of 18 passes for 68 yards.

The offense is partly to blame for the loss because they only scored 10 points and they couldn’t sustain drives.  QB David Garrard completed 17 of 30 passes for 204 yards with 1 TD pass and he also carried the football 5 times for 24 yards (4.8 ypc).  Maurice Drew only carried the ball 7 times for 32 yards (4.6 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 28 yards (9.3 avg).  Fred Taylor only rushed for 16 yards on 6 carries (2.7 ypc).  Dennis Northcutt (4 rec, 57 yards) and rookie John Broussard (2 rec, 55 yards, TD) led the receivers on the Jaguars.  The Jags finished up with 72 yards rushing on 18 carries (4.0 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 30 passes for 200 yards.
