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.

The over/under for Jacksonville Jaguars wins is 9 for 2007

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, If I Were a Betting Man, Vegas Lines, General by dawgpounded on Saturday 8 September 2007 at 8:05 pm

The Jaguars have a fantastic defense and a unbelievable running game on offense but it’s still hard for me to pull the trigger on the over.  David Garrard has never proven that he can make a big throw when it counts and the Jags still have a lousy receiving corps so I have big doubts that they can sustain big-time success.  I prefer not to take either the over or the under because I see the Jags being a 9 win type of team.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report, General by dawgpounded on Friday 7 September 2007 at 6:27 pm
This looks to be a tough matchup for the Titans as the Jaguars complete starting defense is healthy and hungry.  The Titans would love to run the football with LenDale White, Chris Brown, Chris Henry and QB Vince Young but that will be easier said than done against DTs John Henderson, Marcus Stroud and MLB Mike Peterson.  OLBs Daryl Smith and Clint Ingram must contain the outside on running plays and they will likely be up to the task.  DEs Bobby McCray and Reggie Hayward are going to be bringing the heat on Vince Young when he drops back so he better be ready to run.  WRs Brandon Jones and Eric Moulds will battle playmaking CBs Rashean Mathis and Brian Williams and that’s also an advantage for the Jags.  Vince Young likes to throw to his TEs so Bo Scaife could be a big part of the gameplan as he takes on safeties Gerald Sensabaugh and rookie Reggie Nelson.

The Titans must have DT Albert Haynesworth focused for this game because the Jags are likely going to attack the middle of the field in the running game with Maurice Drew and Fred Taylor.  Both Drew and Taylor along with QB David Garrard will also challenge the defense to the corner so OLBs David Thornton and Keith Bulluck must contain the outside and they are both very capable of doing that.  David Garrard must know when LE Kyle VandenBosch is coming from at all times because he’s good enough to force him into mistakes with the football.  The Jags really need one of their WRs to step up in this football game.  Dennis Northcutt, Matt Jones, Ernest Wilford and Reggie Williams need to start earning their paychecks.  Garrard must be careful when throwing the football down the field as rookie CB Michael Griffin, CB Nick Harper and SS Chris Hope are all playmakers in the Titans’ secondary.  One area the Jags might attack is the middle of the field with TE Mercedes Lewis matched up with FS Calvin Lowry who is making his first NFL start.

The Titans must be careful when kicking the football to the Jaguars because KR Maurice Drew and PR Dennis Northcutt can take any kick to the house.  Also keep an eye on Jags punter Adam Podlesh who is starting his first NFL game.

PREDICTION:  The Jaguars are healthy and ready to make a statement in week #1.  This will be a blowout in favor of Jacksonville.

 

The Jacksonville Jaguars place WR Mike Walker on IR

Blogged under The Draft Report, Bloglockers, Front Page, Jaguar Headlines, Injury Reports, General by dawgpounded on Wednesday 5 September 2007 at 3:44 pm

As was reported here months ago Mike Walker is still having problems with his knee that he had surgery on two seasons ago.  He has been placed on the Injured Reserve List and will miss the entire 2007 season for the Jaguars.  He did play in the pre-season and he caught 4 passes for 33 yards (8.3 avg).  This is a shame for both Walker and the Jaguars as they have one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL.

The Jacksonville Jaguars trade RB Alvin Pearman to the Seahawks

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Jaguar Headlines, General by dawgpounded on Wednesday 5 September 2007 at 3:35 pm

The Jaguars have traded RB Alvin Pearman to the Seattle Seahawks for an undisclosed draft pick.  Pearman did not have a good pre-season which pretty much ended his time in Jacksonville.  Pearman only gained 68 yards rushing on 24 carries (2.8 ypc) with 2 TD runs and he also caught 5 passes for 27 yards (5.4 avg).  Pearman was beaten out by LeBrandon Tofield who carried the football 38 times for 145 yards (3.8 ypc) with 3 TD runs and he also caught 8 passes for 70 yards (8.8 avg) in the pre-season.  Pearman finishes his career with the Jaguars having played in 29 games.  In those game he carried the football 58 times for 238 yards (4.1 ypc) with 2 TD runs and he also caught 34 passes for 252 yards (7.4 avg).  Pearman also returned 11 kickoffs for 243 yards (22.1 avg) and he also returned 81 punts for 693 yards (8.6 avg).
