The Jacksonville Jaguars off to a Very slow and bad 2-6 start. More to come about the Florida Gators now 4-4 with an opening Game loss at Home against Miami, FL. 41 to 17 which places 3rd year Florida Gator Head Football Coach Billy Napier firmly on the Hot Seat after also a 5-7 Finish to the Gators College Season last year in 2023. The Jaguars with many off-Season Free Agent signings in 2024 and also some re-signings of players already on the roster, like the new deal & contract extension for three years for Jags LB Foye Oluokun. This is what you call a Win-Win situation for the Jaguars Team - the Jags franchise and for the player Jags LB " Foye Oluokun" also. He should fit like a glove in the New DC's style of attacking the Football.

Injuries and the health of our key players and Coaching along with the schemes and play calls will be Huge. On Defense it starts with the Defensive front stopping the opposing teams running game. And the 2nd year development of QB Trevor Lawrence may provide one of the biggest keys of all over the next couple of years and beyond.

Three Games for the Jaguars in the Coach Urban Meyer era and 3 losses now in 2021! Jags RB James Robinson ran hard on Sunday! Too many mistakes by the offense & QB and they couldn't close the deal. The Defense played good at times. The O-line looks bad at times, but sometimes they're OK. Still in closing the Jags blew a 19-10 lead and lost...Arizona 31 Jags 19 Final. Breaking News on Monday, Sept. 27th, 2021... The Jacksonville Jaguars Trade former 2020 first round Draft pick cornerback CJ Henderson to Carolina for Panther TE Dan Arnold and the Jags getting a Draft pick too, I am hearing a 3rd rounder from Carolina but also the Jags send a 5th round pick to Carolina from the Jaguars. So the Carolina Panthers swap players and Draft picks with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Seemed like Cornerback CJ Henderson played maybe 2 or 3 good games for the Jaguars and that was it. Seemed like he had some issues over the last few months. Scott at Big J Report In earlier games for the Jags- A couple of Jaguars dropped passes early hurt. The holding penalty on Jags Center Brandon Linder was a killer. Pass Rush non existent "looked like only one sack by the Jags Defense all day". Houston QB Tyrod Taylor played well. Stir it all up and the Jags Lose 37 to 21. QB Trevor Lawrence can play but it's going to take time with some growing pains. Game one...QB Trevor Lawrence three TD passes but three interceptions also. Welcome to the NFL For Jaguars Coach Urban Meyer. The Florida Gators now 2-0 after their road victory in Tampa over South Florida on Saturday, Sept. 11th. Big One next Saturday in Gainesville, FL as the Florida Gators host Alabama in the swamp next Saturday, Sept. 18th, 2021. We and the Jaguars are keeping an eye on the waiver wire now too.

The Jags opened the regular season back on Sunday, Sept. 12th, 2021 in Houston, Texas against the Texans in the first regular season game of the 2021 season for Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach Urban Meyer and his Jaguars. Latest on the Jumbo Shrimp... Triple A Baseball - Nice win....Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 8 Norfolk Tides 2 Final on Wednesday Night, Aug. 25th, 2021. The Jumbo Shrimp now 55-43 it's been a good first year of Triple A baseball for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Second pre-season Game... Saints 23 Jaguars 21 Final in New Orleans on Monday Night, Aug. 23rd, 2021. Jags rookie RB Travis Etienne suffers serious mid-foot injury with a serious tear to cartilage in the mid-foot joint and will miss several weeks and perhaps the entire 2021 season. Looking back at the First pre-Season Game in the books now....Browns 23 Jacksonville Jaguars 13 Final on Saturday Night, Aug. 14th, 2021. After the Browns Loss- On This ain't College there are No Western Tech's or Podunk Junctions on the schedule in the NFL. Everybody has some Big time talent and there is an opponent on the other side of the Field trying to win also. But the 35 yard completion from QB Trevor Lawrence to WR Marvin Jones Jr. proved why Trevor Lawrence was drafted number 1 overall. No one in the QB room last year could make that throw in 2020. Gotta set the tone now! There are players trying to earn a Roster spot! Earlier notes from a few days ago- Training Camp is now underway for the Jacksonville Jaguars as of July 28th, 2021...Besides a strong QB room right now with number 1 QB Trevor Lawrence and I feel QB Gardner Minshew is a strong number 2 and QB CJ Beathard is number 3, QB number 4 Jake Luton will eventually end up perhaps on the practice Squad perhaps when the season starts. Notable thoughts on many of the skill positions entering the 2021 Jaguars Training Camp... WR Marvin Jones is a key leader this season for the younger WR's and players. Jones brings production too as a B+ receiver. Hopefully Chark reaches his potential as a number 1 WR and Marvin Jones is 1b. WR Laviska Shenault should be the number 3 guy receiving the ball as a slot guy and WR. Also rookie 1st round pick Travis Etienne brings "SPEED" and Etienne will be an exciting RB/slot receiver. WR Collin Johnson hopefully will completely step up as the number 4 guy unless someone beats him to the punch. I see depth at WR and RB now. Rookie Offensive Tackle "Walker Little" out of Stanford is a player to watch, not projected as a starter yet but should keep the competition flowing in Training Camp with the starting Offensive tackle's in Left Tackle "Cam Robinson" playing on the franchise tag in 2021 and also Right Tackle "Jawaan Taylor" starting at Right Tackle in his 3rd year out of Florida. We will follow & cover Training Camp here at Big J Report. By the way The Jags offense could jell, develop and possibly be good, by 2022 very good!! On Defense...First off you have some good players on that side of the ball but even more importantly the improvement will be overseen by new Defensive Coordinator "Joe Cullen". I like what Coach Joe Cullen brings on the Defensive side of the ball for New Head Coach Urban Meyer and staff. This is the Big J Report......

The Jaguars RB James Robinson a good game in Los Angeles against the Chargers but still another LOSS, Jaguars RB James Robinson had 22 carries for 119 yards and Robinson rushed for a Touchdown also. Minshew started slow and the Jaguars Defense gave up too many points again in the 39 to 29 loss to the L.A. Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 25th, 2020. Jaguars TE Tyler Eifert, LB Myles Jack and Safety Jarrod Wilson all missed the Chargers game due to recent injuries. This is the Big J Report... FSU a signature win over North Carolina 31 to 28 for Seminole Coach Mike Norvell and his staff on Saturday, Oct. 17th, 2020. Norvell was a good hire by FSU just like Coach Mullen was and is for Florida. The Jacksonville Jaguars are now 1-15 on the 2020 NFL Season after losses in Los Angeles, Houston and at Cincinnati 33 to 25 and a Home loss against Detroit and many other losses to any other teams on the 2020 schedule in a season nightmares. The Lack of a pass rush and the Jags allowed Bengals RB Joe Mixon to run for 151 yards on 25 carries in the Cincinnati loss. Jags WR DJ Chark was a bright spot with an incredible TD Catch. Other offensive bright spots for the Jags include QB Gardner Minshew, Rookie RB James Robinson and most of the WR Group including: Rookie WR Laviska Shenault, Chris Conley & WR Keelan Cole. The issue's are on DEFENSE! exept for some good things by LB Myles Jack. Linebacker play is the strength of the 2020 Jags Defense, otherwise the Jags Defense is giving up too many points to their opponents. Past Jaguars Games this season...

Sad News to report concerning the Jaguars...On Sunday Night, Aug. 16th, 2020 Just sadly heard the News that Jacksonville Jaguars Defensive Lineman Rodney Gunter stepped from football but had been away was expected to play DT, NT and the Big End as well. This did hurt the Jags depth in 2020 hurt the Jaguars depth on Defense some now going into 2020! Look for Taven Bryan to be a starter now in 2020 most likely and some other defensive players had to step up as well. 2020 was suppose to be DT Rodney Gunter's first year with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Gunter is now stepping away from the game due to medical conditons, due to it may be a risk if he continues playing. It is reportedly being said to be a heart condition that is forcing Gunter to retire early from the NFL. Rodney Gunter is only 28 years old. Scott at Big J Report. Recently Al Woods a veteran Defensive tackle signed as a free agent with the Jaguars in the off-season announced he was opting out of this season because of Covid-19. Due to losing a number of players on the Defensive Line, a weakness for the Jaguars going into the off-season anyway and last year as well because of all the rushing yardage the Jags Defense had given up in 2019. Enter Tim Jernigan former Philadelphia Eagle Free agent Defensive Tackle coming off some injuries. Originally from Lake City, FL and also spent sometime as young kid in Jacksonville, FL.

Not once, Not twice but three straight Games the Jaguars Scheme and Defense has been destroyed! Let's now make it 5 losses in a row after a 45 to 10 loss at Home against the L.A.

The Bad won/loss record only part of the problem the past two years. Scott at BigJReport.com FSU has in my opinion made a Great hire in Head Coach Mike Norvell. Mike Norvell's Memphis Tigers team were 12-1 in 2019 and has been invited to the Cotton Bowl FSU Coach Willie Taggart Fired after a 9-12 Record after two seasons at FSU. It appears the Miami, FL. Hurricanes loss 27 to 10 on Saturday, Nov. 2nd was the final straw for FSU and Taggart. The Seminoles have hired Mike Norvell as their New Head Coach at Florida State now. The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded Cornerback "Jalen Ramsey" to the L.A.

Another win for Jacksonville Armada FC but if a win can be described as disappointing this is it.
Poor finishing including rattling the woodwork twice was all that prevented this game from being an 8 or 9 goal blowout.
Take nothing away from the Roots, their plan to disrupt the superior passing game of the Armada was quite effective even if it did involve several dubious tackles.
However, as close as the score was, with the safe hands of Cameron Braswell in goal for the first time this season, the incredible energy of Taylor, Thomas and Adriano, and the sheer determination of Jed Bowman and Toby MacCallum the result was never really in doubt.
This was aided by second half appearances of Mason Tunbridge and Eddie Coimbra.
With three matches left, first place in the conference could easily come down to the final game against Southern Stars who lead the conference separated from the Armada only by goal difference.
Buckle up folks. It's going to be a wild end to the season! Armada Soccer by Ian Fergusson. Good Report Ian Fergusson, Thank you. Some past HS Football Results.....H.S.

Had some thoughts about the SEC Today --
I see 3 to 4 teams having a shot here in 2023-. I just wonder when Georgia Bulldog Coach Kirby Smart will have a down year but they still have the talent, so maybe never but we'll see. Georgia, Alabama(Coach Nick Saban has another good team ready, LSU with 2nd year Coach Brian Kelly will be a contender agian, Tennessee maybe and Florida could, could maybe be a surprise team. Texas A&M will be better but not good enough. Vandy won't win alot of Football games but they may actually be better than Missouri this year. Auburn with New Coach Hugh Freeze will be interesting. I think Auburn will be better next year than this year. Arkansas and South Carolina both remind me of the little Engine that could that is if they win the close games but they both could also be disappointing but both teams have good Coaches. Kentucky with Longtime Head Coach Mark Stoops is always capable of being a dark horse but possibly not this year. I wonder what kind've Quarterback play the Kentucky Wildcats will get this year with Will Levis being an early 2nd round selection as he leaves for the NFL now. Finally, the Late Coach Mike Leach will be missed by College Football and Miss. St. My dad by the way loved the SEC and introduced me to the SEC back in the early 1970's. I miss Dad. Dad loved SEC Football.... 2023 Season... it's September - College Football - The Colorado Buffaloes Coached by Deion Sanders(Coach Prime) may be the Biggest story in College Football as Coach Sanders & Colorado has back to back wins over TCU and Nebraska now.

Florida & Georgia should battle for the SEC East Title, while in the SEC West not as clear cut, maybe as many as 3 or 4 teams battle for the SEC West Title(The 4)- should be....Alabama, Auburn, LSU & Texas A&M. Texas A&M is my dark horse in 2020. Kentucky, Tennessee & South Carolina will battle for 3rd place in the SEC East...Tennessee seems to be on the climb now. Ole Miss & Miss. St. may not be the worst in the League but they will struggle some with good but first year Coaches. The Ole Miss VS. Miss, St. Egg Bowl will be their Bowl. Losing records for both Ole Miss and Miss. St., the schedule is too tough, year 2 will be better for Kiffin and Leach. My take. SEC College Football Teams in 2020 continue to dominate Recruiting! Georgia with what is considered to be possibly the best Total Class in the Nation! Coach Dan Mullen a TOP 10 Class For the Gators overall. FSU New Coach Mike Norvell considered to have a Top 20 Class not bad for the Seminoles, being Norvell's first class just coming in and taking the Job at the end of the College Football Season. 2019 College Football Season...It came down to One GAME and LSU QB Joe Burrow was too much for Clemson.

I had a chance to interview Generation Jaguar Founder "Jordan de Lugo recently and we asked Jordan "How long have you been doing this now?" Since February 2015 de Lugo stated, the founder went on to tell the Big J Report That Generation Jaguar is all about tailgates and FUN, tailgates before the game, tailgating at the Home Games, watch parties during the road games. I love their motto this year "Duval Against the World" Generation Jaguar members for a 40 dollar membership according to de Lugo the membership renewed annually getting you alot of cool access such as free drinks during tailgates, watch parties during road games at Jax Beach at Brix Tap House where Generation Jaguar members enjoy a free cookout every Sunday during Jaguars road games. The food for the cookout is based on the Jaguars opponent that week. Other sponsors include Green House and Bold City Brewing. De Lugo says this is the time of the summer when members start renewing their memberships, a great value at 40 dollars for all the perks and fun. Membership when we conducted this interview was at 184 members, it will continue to grow between now and the start of the season according to Jordan, As now we are writing this story membership has grown to 188 members, they have room for as many as 500 members as times goes on. I found de Lugo very knowledgeable about football and the Jaguars overall. de Lugo even said as we talked about fan clubs all over the country, he said he understands there is even Jaguars fans that watch the games at a bar in New York as well as other places across the country. The goal is a football culture that is sustainable. I want to thank Jordan de Lugo the founder of generation Jaguar for joining us for an interview here on the Big J Report. If you want more info on how to join call Jordan at 904-885-2659 or simply visit their website at www.generationjaguar.net Fan clubs are very big in most NFL cities, but after talking to De Lugo this one seems special.

Reviewing The Jaguars 2018 draft class- drafting seven players. Some picks were great, some were questionable, so let’s go through and discuss each pick and give it a final grade.
Round one: DT Taven Bryan
This pick was a shocker to say the least, the Jaguars added another defensive tackle to its already stacked defensive line.
Heading into the 2019 season both of the Jaguars starting defensive tackles Mailk Jackson and Marcell Dareus will take a big cap hit, which sheds some light on the business side of this selection.
Bryan has a stellar motor and uses his hands very well once engaged combine that with his amazing get off and you have a freak of an athlete that can really pan out really well for the Jaguars.
Grade: A
Round two:WR D.J Chark
Chark is 6’3 and runs a 4.3 40-yard dash and can go up and get balls.
Chark is very Allen Robinson-isk a fast and tall receiver with great ball skills being able to climb the ladder and steal the ball right from the defensive back’s hands.
The Jaguars knocked this selection out of the park getting depth at the receiver position is vital, don’t be surprised if Chark enters the 2018 season as the Jaguars #1 receiver.
Grade: A
Round three: S Ronnie Harrison
The Jaguars went defense in two of the first three rounds which shocked a lot of people but the Jaguars used the “best player available” strategy beautifully with Bryan, Chark and Harrison as well.
Harrison was thought to be a first round talent by many scouts but he kept falling until late in the third round where the Jaguars decided to select him.
Harrison is a hard hitting safety that plays well in the box, however the Jaguars don’t have its safety in the box very often so he might have to adjust to a new system which is fine because he’ll be playing behind Barry Church for at least 2-3 more years.
Special teams was a point of emphasis in this draft and Harrison is a guy that can contribute on the Kick-off team as well as the punt team.
Grade: B+
Round 4: OT Will Richardson
Now, I would’ve liked to see the Jaguars improve offensive line depth earlier in the draft in rounds 1-3 but they finally took an offensive lineman in the fourth round.
Will Richardson is an offensive tackle, and will back up Parnell and Robinson.
I would’ve liked to see the Jaguars try and draft a guard to replace the weaker part of our O line which is AJ Cann but as of now it looks like their going to give Cann another year to prove himself.
Grade:D
Round 6: QB Tanner Lee
I guess the front office want Blake to feel better about himself every practice.
Grade: F
Round 7: LB Leon Jacobs
A beefy big linebacker out of Wisconsin will add a lot of needed depth to the linebacker position and might even get some playing time this season, Jacobs will also be an incredible asset on special teams.
Round 7: P Logan Cooke
The Jaguars new starting punter, after the release of Brad Nortman Cooke will be trying to reverse fields for Jacksonville.
A young punter with a lot of upside, let’s just hope it pans out.
Grade: C
Overall draft class grade: B+
The Jaguars had a solid class this season, now that they aren’t picking in the top five, it’s all about depth and improving that at every position and I think that the Jaguars did an awesome job at filling holes in positions of need and added depth where it needed to be added. Trevan Pixley is a Freelance writer for the BigJReport.com
Your Editor introducing Trevan Pixley now as a Free Lance Writer for the Big J Report.....This article is about how Trevan became a Jaguars Fan- I have heard many stories about how fans have become fans of teams nearby or maybe their team is actually located far away. Some of the stories I have heard have included becoming fans far away getting that gift of a Jaguars coat or jacket when they were a kid and then following that team for many years after that and perhaps the rest of your Life. Your editor Scott Mullis- with me it was and has been much simplier, I am originally from Jacksonville "Its my Hometown team" since 1995 when the team started playing...I actually started following the Jaguars in 1993 when the NFL first announced we were awarded the Franchise. Now here is Trevan Pixley's reason why he became a Jaguars Fan..... Trevan Pixley
Al Michaels’s call when David Garrard ran for the first down on fourth and two in the 2007 AFC wildcard game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers solidified my fandom for the Jaguars. But, before we got there it all started with a video game.
I was 8 years old, my dad had just bought me a PSP (Playstation Portable) and the game NFL Street 3. Growing up I didn’t like football, football would always take my dad away from me when I wanted to watch wwe or power rangers with him. But, eventually I caved in and tried out the game and decided to get into the sport.
I was scrolling through the teams deciding who I should be for my first game, The patriots were going to be my original choice because that’s my dad’s favorite team, but like I have my whole life I decided to rebel. I looked at the logos and I fell in love with the Jaguars.
Now this game was a little bit old the quarterback was Byron Leftwich, the running back was Fred Taylor, and Matt Jones was the number one wideout and those three quickly turned into my favorite players. So, after a few games of playing with the Jaguars and winning, I decided that I was going to root them on in real life.
Not even knowing it I decided to be a Jaguars fan the last time they made the playoffs before this year, so as fan I suffered through that drought just as much as the team. I watched the steelers game and I just remember thinking to myself that’s not Byron Leftwich? and my dad told me “That’s your new quarterback David Garrard.” Now, I was really upset about not having Byron Leftwich on the team because I would play with him all the time in Street 3, which is funny because going back and watching Byron’s tape he was not the greatest quarterback ever so in retrospect it was good that David was starting against the steelers.
We all know how that game went, David ran for the first down on fourth and two with Josh Scobee knocking the game winning field goal through the uprights for the victory.After that we went to Foxboro and fell to the Patriots in the divisional round.
After that season I was excited, I had high hopes for the Jaguars in its first full season that I was going to watch beginning to end and then… we went 5-11. Between 2008-2016 we did not have a single winning season, so a lot of people may ask why didn’t I just hop off the bandwagon I mean after all I live in Idaho which is in the pacific northwest and the Seahawks bandwagon was filling up quick so you’d think I’d hop on right? Wrong.
The Jaguars would be an escape for me, I loved every person on that team like they were my family, the connection that I had with the football team really took over my life, I’d talk football and Jaguars to anyone that would listen, I even started making youtube videos in 2011 about the Jaguars and just recently started back up again.
I guess you can say I stuck around because I clinged on to this hope ever since the 2014 draft class I knew Shad Khan and Dave Caldwell had an idea and had a plan, then they bring in Tom Coughlin and our draft classes just kept on getting better and better I mean, look at the first two rounds from 2014 draft throught the 2017 draft, Blake Bortles, Marquise Lee (both starters) 2015; Dante Fowler, TJ Yeldon (both get a lot of reps), 2016: Jalen Ramsey Myles Jack (both starters) and 2017 Leonard Fournette and Cam robinson (both starters). I fell in love with the process and all these players that we were briginging in I stick by this claim that the Jaguars really make their fans feel like family, and I don’t think any other team is as good as the Jaguars in making you feel like you’re apart of their team whether you’re close or far.

I was asked this Question in a Jaguars Chat.....it goes something like this...who will the Jags Draft by position and Need? here are my thoughts by order of Need then.... Here is the order I believe: TE that's an Offensive force, OL- Guard or Tackle..good if he can play maybe 2 different positions on the Line. toss up between WR/LB depends on who is available..we may need a LB more, but the right WR would be a welcomed addition. After that a Defensive back that can play nickle and back up our D.B. starters. Got a good kicker already....Dont need to draft a Kicker or punter. Changes may come during the draft depending on who is available at the time according to the Jags draft board. If we need to sign a punter we can do that well after the NFL DRAFT. Check us out. Scott Mullis at Big J Report Above is what may Happen....Here's what has happened...After a flurry of trades in the first round, The Jaguars standing pat in the first round 29th overall have selected D.T. Taven Bryan out of the University of Florida. We did get a Gomer Pyle surprise in the first round. DT Taven Bryan a 6"5 291 pound 3 technique a 1 gap and Go guy, his upside could be through the roof. It was thought by some that Taven might have gone earlier to maybe the Falcons....But Alabama WR Calvin Ridley fell to the Falcons at #26 in the first round. Jags 2nd round pick WR D.J. Chark out of LSU. Jags 3rd round Pick safety Ronnie Harrison, Harrison was a 3 year starter for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Jags pick an Offensive Tackle in the 4th round 6"6 306 pound Will Richardson out of NC State. This draft obviously not completly what we expected but the Jags draft is drawing Rave reviews from many of the experts. I will describe it as this, its a special draft where the Jaguars Brass have decided they want their top notch defense to be good for a long time. Jags defense has gotten younger and deeper now. And in the 2nd round the Jags grabbed a tall 6"3 solid receiver that could be very special. As far as the Defense goes....The Executive Vice president of the Jaguars has always showed you can never have too much defense. Great Job by GM Dave Caldwell and Executive Vice President Tom Coughlin. Some Draft experts are saying the Jacksonville Jaguars may have the best Total roster now in the NFL. The 2018 Draft -- time will tell. I think the Jags may have hit this draft out of the park, I think at the very least they have hit a bases clearing Triple. This Draft has proven the Jags are happy with their T.E. and O-Line Free agent pickups. The Jaguars did not have a 5th round pick due to the trade with Buffalo for DT Marcel Dareus. The 6th round was interesting as the Jags drafted a QB Tanner Lee from Nebraska, The Nebraska team had a bad year, they fired the coach and went 4-8 but Tanner Lee has a big arm and appears to be a developmental type guy...but you never know til we get into pre-season and see Lee looks. QB Tanner Lee was picked in the 6th round with the 203rd pick. What's interesting the Patriots drafted the QB out of LSU a few picks later. In the 7th round the Jaguars finally got a LB when the Jags drafted LB Leon Jacobs out of Wisconsin with the other 7th round pick the Jags selected a punter out of Miss. St named Logan Cooke, Cooke interestingly enough has a good chance to be the starter as last years punter Brad Nortman has been cut mainly due to money, the Jags didnt want to pay Nortman the approximately over 2 million dollars he would have made in 2018. The Jags looking to save some money against the salary cap. It is looking more and more Like the Jaguars have a very balanced and talented Roster now. Scott Mullis, Big J Report writer/Editor

We Cover The Jaguars here in North Florida- Join Us From World headQuarters - pictured to your Left starting wide receiver Marquis Lee of the Jaguars.
Your Editors thoughts on The 2018 NFL Draft can be seen if you scroll all the way down our Big J Report Sports Section or just keep reading. Alot of Sports here in our Sports Section. After the recent state of the franchise: The New schedule was announced and the Jaguars will open on the road Sunday, Sept. 9th at 1:00 P.M. against the New York Giants. The Jaguars made a recent trade with the Browns- Jaguars pick-up a backup QB Cody Kessler for a 7th round Draft pick. This reporter, your editor feels the Jags will still draft a QB if they like one at the time of their draft picks...Its hard to say where in the NFL Draft...But depending on the value of who is available when the Jags are making their selections...A pick for a Quarterback could come anywhere, most likely from the 2nd round to the 6th round. A QB in the first round? Unlikely unless someone they really like falls or the Jags trade up for a specific QB they like. Otherwise the first round pick will most likely be an Offensive linemen, Tight End or Wide Receiver. Maybe a Linebacker in the first round but probably not...Although a LB will probably be selected somewhere in the draft...Depth is needed at LB anyway but the recent retirement of Jags LB Paul Posluszny warrants the pick of a LB somewhere in the upcoming 2018 NFL Draft. The Hurns release appeared to be a tough business decision, then later in the day on March 20th from reports started hearing that Marcedes Lewis long-time TE and Jags player got released. The Lewis release nearly broke my heart. 12 years wanted a 13th dont think I am alone. Sometimes your editors emotional ties with this team comes out. We signed 2 TE's in Free Agency...a numbers game perhaps. When the dust settles at some point- Marcedes Lewis will always be a Jacksonville Jaguar. You see Lewis was one of my favorite players. The Hurns release hurts also. Its business and its called upgrading the roster...but everyone has an opinion including your editor. Now with a crowded receiving corp...JAGS WR- Allen Hurns according to reports has been released to save 7 million dollars on the salary cap. So now both Allan's are gone now Robinson and Hurns. Playing time for Hurns may have played a role also...Robinson and Hurns left us with some great Jags memories....Especially the catch for the TD in London against Buffalo is a great memory for me- Your editor has an autographed photo of Hurns making the winning the catch against Buffalo. These moves hurt but it is a business. This move is Leaving the Jags with still plenty of Wide Receivers led by Marqise Lee, DeDe Westbrook, Donte Moncrief and Keelan Cole. The Jags could also draft a WR receiver early in the NFL Draft if they like one. Looks like Hurns was the odd man to save money on the cap. The 4 remaining wide receivers who are here now are considered to have more quickness and speed than the 2 that are departing. One of the most interesting Free agent signings for the Jags is DB Cody Davis who is expected to be a back-up DB but Davis is expected to be a core special teams player with the Jags, Davis had spent 5 years with the Rams has signed a 2 year deal worth 5 million Dollars with 2.5 million guaranteed. Longtime Jaguars backup QB Chad Henne after being a mentor for Jaguars QB Blake Bortles, Henne has signed with the KC Chiefs to be the mentor for Chiefs 2nd year Quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Free agent signings even more than this editor thought there would be...continued...But overall the Jaguars get an A grade. WR Donte Moncrief Big Tall bodied receiver with more speed than Alan Robinson has signed with the Jags. Donte Moncrief formerly of the Colts with some injuries in his past. Also signing with the Jags TE's Austin Seferian Jenkins formerly of Tampa Bay and then the Jets and Niles Paul formerly of the Redskins- TE Niles Paul will play special teams alot. Plus with Mercedas Lewis coming back for another year...It may mean some of the Draft plans have changed for the Jags, will see what happens. After losing Colvin to the Texans- The Jags sign a DB to play the role of nickleback "D.J. Hayden" formerly a first round pick of the Raiders a few years ago and played for the Detroit Lions last year. That's Alot going on! WR Marqise Lee re-signs with the Jacksonville Jaguars a 4 year contract for 38 million Dollars- For Marqise Lee approximately 16.5 Million Dollars guaranteed. 11 year NFL veteran Paul Posluszny retires from the Jacksonville Jaguars- LB Posluszny spent 4 years with Buffalo, then spent the last 7 years of his career as a Linebacker with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Posluszny would like to thank all the Jaguars Fans for his support here in Jacksonville. BIG NEWS.. Jaguars sign an Offensive Guard Andrew Norwell the Top Free Agent Offensive Linemen on the Free Agent market from the Carolina Panthers. OG Andrew Norwell signs a 5 year 66.5 million Dollar contract with the Jaguars 30 million Dollars guaranteed to Norwell. This signing of Norwell is a significant upgrade to the Jaguars Offensive Line...Norwell allowed no sacks and no QB Hits last year with the Panthers. Jags QB Blake Bortles and The Jaguars have agreed to a 3 year contract extension! for approximately 54 million dollars, slightly over 26 million Dollars is guaranteed. We have now learned if the contract maxes out, Bortles could get up to as much as 66 Million Dollars Total with incentives...so there is a low end and a High end. Its obvious Blake wanted to be in Jacksonville, from Reports said he told his agent he just wanted to get the deal done. In your editors opinion this is a good deal for the Jaguars, QB Blake Bortles, the city of Jacksonville and the county of Duval. This is a good deal this year and particularly is a great deal in year 2 and 3 as well as it will allow the Jaguars to keep more of our players over time. Just one day earlier The Jaguars announced a 2 year contract extension for Executive Vice President Tom Coughlin, General Manager Dave Caldwell and Head Coach Doug Marrone. Great moves...amazing what an AFC South Championship can do for an organization and a City. Looks like another Domino has fallen as the Jags have elected not to Franchise tag WR Alan Robinson, which would have paid Robinson over 15 million Dollars for one year...coming off an ACL injury Robinson's best statistical season could come in year 2 or year 3 of a possibly 3 year deal...just using a 3 year deal as an example...your editor doesnt believe he wants to stay here...and will not negotiate with the Jags fairly...I think Alan Robinson(and his representation) will go to free agency looking for a CRAZY offer from a team that may just give it to him....Update that team the Chicago Bears... You cant blame Robinson he is a great receiver and he is considered the top free agent receiver in the NFL this off season. The market will decide what his worth is and the Bears are paying it. WR Alan Robinson and his representatives will take the best offer...I believe his agent was looking for a deal with alot of guaranteed money. ...After all that's his job, Robinson currently is concentrating on his rehab. The Jags moving away from Robinson will allow them to sign more total players the next 2 years. For the Jags this about being more competitive for many years to come. It was a tough decision Robinson is a great player, a top 5 to top 10 receiver but coming off an ACL injury. As crazy as it sounds after what I just wrote- The Jags still made a very good offer to Robinson..Do I think it will be the top offer, most likely not. That's why Robinson will be on another team next year....And now we know its the Chicago Bears. As much as all the Jag fans wanted him on the team next year. Your editor does not believe it will happen. In 2015 when QB Blake Bortles threw 35 TD passes...Alan Robinson had 14 TD's and over 1400 yards receiving, hard to walk away from that, but it look like its happening. Big Report contributor Alex Nunnery got his photo taken with Jags QB Blake Bortles. Blake attended the opening weekend of JU baseball as the Dolphins played West Virginia at the Baseball stadium on the Campus of Jacksonville University. The JU Dolphins also beat Bethune Cookman 13 to 8 down in Daytona Beach, FL. History says QB's gets better normally after 5 years- a maturing and understanding process....A maturation of learning how to see all your options, The QB: with Bortles, I saw flashes of that last year where actually Bortles would go to his 3rd or 4th option at times. Draft needs and/or free agency ..But its more about the Draft now honestly for this team I think now....need a TE that can be an Offensive force and one more Offensive lineman in the draft or free agency that Coughlin and Caldwell like...I trust their judgement....Dave and then the final go ahead by Tom....the trio is working well....Tom, Dave and Doug Marrone. still need another LB in the draft for needed depth there and maybe another DB if we cannot retain Colvin. A wide out receiver too. We have to trust Tom, Dave and Doug now they will do the best to keep us very competitive for Championships now. JU's baseball team beat Bethune Cookman in College Baseball 13-8 on Tuesday, Feb. 20th in Daytona. The JU Dolphins baseball team now is 3-1. One of the most exciting finishes in Daytona 500 history took place during the 60th running of the event about 80 miles South of Duval Sunday, Feb. 18th..The last 5 Laps were incredible there were crashes during the last 5 Laps and on the last lap a car went into the wall freeing up Austin Dillon to cross the Checkered Flag first in his number 3 Chevrolet Race Car as Nascar Driver Austin Dillon Wins the Daytona 500. This is a Internet Newspaper for Jacksonville, so we dont do much National News or World News- But in this case I made an exception, One of the biggest stories of the Winter Olymipcs is American 17 year old teenager phenom and USA snowboarder "Chloe Kim" has won the Olympic Gold medal in the Womens halfpipe. Congratulations Chloe from Duval County and every County in the USA. JU Women's lacrosse team beat Michigan 14 to 9 on Sunday, Feb. 11th as Reported by Contributor Alex Nunnery...Alex also reports to the Big J Report that the Jacksonville University Dolphins Baseball team played a 3 game series with West Virginia....The Dolphins won 2 out of 3 in the opening weekend series at Home and
Jacksonville University baseball sophomore pitcher Tyler Santana was named ASUN Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the league office Monday.
"In his first collegiate start, Tyler did a great job of preparing and executing his game plan," said Head Coach Chris Hayes. "It's great to see him get off to a good start. Jaguars to Unveil new Uniforms in April 2018, ticket prices going up approximately 10 percent, still good prices compared to alot of NFL teams prices across the League. Some concession prices will actually be lower priced- alot of 5 dollar items in the concession area's at Everbank Field...heard rumors name of the Stadium could be changing also. Jaguars Long time TE Marcedes Lews as we thought he would be back for his 13th season, a fan favorite Lewis will now not be back now...as we mentioned earlier in the article. TE- It's rumored the Jaguars may draft a New Tight End as early as the first round or 2nd round like they did with Lewis 13 years ago. An early draft choice on a TE needs to Equal instant Offense. This is an internet Newspaper is all about Jacksonville and surrounding area's-- Some of the biggest things in the sports history of this area, include: In 1993 when we got the Jaguars franchise, Coach Tom Coughlin leading us to an AFC Championship in 1996, In 1999 when the Jags were 14-2 an perhaps one of the best teams in NFL history, with an Offensive tackle Tony Boselli who should be in the Hall of Fame, going back to 1979 then mayor Jake Godbold got I think over 50,000 fans to come to Gator Bowl(now Everbank field)that was called Colt Fever, but that was the start of us getting an NFL franchise...which we did a few years later after Touchdown Jacksonville worked very hard along with Jags owner Wayne Weaver to bring an NFL team here the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Jags have played in 3 AFC Championship Games which Tom Coughlin has been a part of all three as a coach and now as Executive Vice president of the Jaguars, also we salute Shad Kahn for all he has done in our community since he bought the team from the Weaver's a few years ago. Also going back to 1970 when your editior was just a little boy, but i remember like it was yesterday the year JU went to the Final 4.

The Florida-JU game was actually and officially an exhibition game. In exhibition College Basketball...Florida led by Jr. Forward Jalen Hudson's 21 points beat JU 88-47 in an exhibition game at Swisher, I am told Swisher holds about 1500 people tickets sold out in less than 10 minutes according to Sports talk Radio....This was an exhibition Basketball Game..It was Hoops For Hurricane Relief at Swisher Gym here in Jacksonville on Thursday, Nov. 2nd....Jalen Hudson who had 21 points for Florida is a 6 foot 6 inch Guard who can light it up, Hudson is a transfer from Virginia Tech. The Jaguars Completely controlled the Cinicinnati Bengals with a 23-7 win...QB Blake Bortles played well...seems to be improving the last 2 or 3 games. The Teal Rampage defense has only given up 7 points in the last 2 games incredible..The Jacksonville Jaguars are 5-3 and appear to be for Real in Teal. The punches Bengal WR AJ Green threw at Jaguars DB Jalen Ramsey seem to be modern day rope-a-dope...Yea Ramsey is a trash talker but he may be the best cornerback in the League now also-- He trashed talked AJ Green and gave him a little push and AJ Green lost control and found himself out of the game, was AJ Green more upset about the trash talking or the fact he was having a hard time getting open against the best Cornerback in the NFL. Ramsey was tossed out also-- I think that was a mistake by the officials. Cincinnati was done after that! 23-7 Good Guys. Jags 5-3 and were legitimate through the first half of the that season.
