Jacksonville Jaguars: Deaderick & Love Could Really Help Team
While everyone in this town seems to be consumed with Tim Tebow and his presence or lack thereof in the NFL and the Jaguars, Jacksonville did something else than stoke the fires of “Tebow Mania.”It picked up defensive help on the front line.The New England Patriots released two starters from last year’s team; Brandon Deaderick and Kyle Love.The Jaguars, who sit in the second overall position on the waiver wire, scooped both players up to add more bodies and size to the defensive line rotation.If nothing else, this gives new head coach Gus Bradley two more players to decide between when the final 53-man roster is complete.The choices to sign these players may be a little more than that.These two players started for Bill Belichick and the Patriots’ defense. While their stats do not show huge sack and tackle numbers, they played on a winning franchise. They both were in the playoffs. They both know about a culture few players have tasted playoff success.While losing may be a symptom of…
Jacksonville Jaguars Sign Free Agent Center Dan Gerberry
The Jacksonville Jaguars and free agent center Dan Gerberry have agreed to an undisclosed contract. It is unlikely that it is for more than a year as he joined the NFL out of Ball state in 2009 and hasn’t appeared in one single NFL game. You have to love his passion and FFLockerRoom wishes him the best of luck and hopes that this is the year that he gets to make a NFL squad and appear in a game so he has something great to tell the grand children one day. Hopefully his career amounts to more than that though, of course.

Denard Robinson: The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Answer to Slash
Did the Jacksonville Jaguars create more controversy without really trying to open a can of worms?It is no secret there is a quarterback battle in Florida between Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne.There is also no secret there is no clear cut favorite, but members of the media locally and nationally think it is Gabbert’s job and Henne will start the season holding the clipboard — while a third player, possibly rookie Jordan Rodgers or Adam Scott, will walk the sidelines as well or get reps with the practice squad.But a curious thing happened this week during OTAs that went somewhat unnoticed but drew my attention.Denard Robinson took snaps behind center.Not that this was an earth shattering event, but the former Michigan quarterback, who was once a Heisman Trophy candidate, was in the Jaguars’ offense as a quarterback. Remember, he was drafted to be a running back and receiver and aid in special teams for the franchise.Did Gabbert and Henne expect more competition? And if so, did t…
Jacksonville Jaguars: Signing Tim Tebow will save 2013 season
General Manager David Caldwell said that signing Tim Tebow was not an option for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but what might not be an option may just save the team from another horrible season in 2013. For some odd reason, Caldwell backed Blaine Gabbert despite the fact that he played horrible in 2012 all a while Chad Henne out performed him by leaps and bounds. If anything, Henne deserved to be the starter in 2013 not Gabbert… Read more
Waiver Wire Star Montell Owens Released By Jaguars
One of the bigger waiver wire stars of 2012, Montell Owens, has been released by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Owens, used primarily as a full back and special teams man, got his shot to start at running back during the week 14 game last season. That’s how bad it was in Jacksonville last year. Anyway, those that took a chance on him were rewarded to the tune of 102 total yards and a score. Not bad for waiver wire fodder! The kind of stuff legends are made of! But it was not to last. Although he played well the next two games, a knee injury kept him from finishing the year. And even though he did perform in OTA’s last week, his knee might not be right still.
I’m a little shocked at the move, as the Jags still don’t have a lot of talent on the team and Owens played decent but he may be a cap casualty. Montell was due roughly $2 million dollars this season. I suspect he’ll be signed quickly if his knee is ok.

Jeremy Mincey: Jacksonville Jaguars Need His Pass Rush Support
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ biggest moves to improve their pass rush were to sign Roy Miller and Sen’Derrick Marks, two defensive tackles and Brandon Deaderick, a defensive end over the off season.The team also announced on Wednesday that Tyson Alualu would be used some at defensive end during the season.If these moves do not get your heart racing with anticipation, you are not alone. The Jaguars come into the 2013 season with many of the same parts that they had last season, a season that saw their defensive unit plummet to one of the worst in the league.We are talking 20 sacks on the season bad. And the stars of the defense, Paul Posluszny and Jason Babin, will go back to camp with new faces and old to work with and try to produce a winner. There is a lot of work cut out for Bob Babich, the new defensive coordinator for this team.The one name we haven’t heard much about is Jeremy Mincey, who is one year removed from a new contract and the leading force in the pass rush for this team…
Jaguars release Pro Bowler Montell Owens
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) The Jacksonville Jaguars have released special teams ace Montell Owens after seven seasons.
The Jaguars want to get younger, so the move was hardly a surprise.
Owens, a two-time Pro Bowler, is the latest veteran to leave the rebuilding Jaguars, joining a list that includes cornerback Rashean Mathis, linebacker Daryl Smith and fullback Greg Jones.
The team filled one of two open roster spots by signing first-year center Dan Gerberry, who tried out during a voluntary veteran minicamp last month.
Owens made the team as an undrafted rookie in 2006. He played in 104 games and owns the franchise record for special teams tackles (118). His career totals also include 56 carries for 292 yards and three touchdowns as well as 12 catches for 132 yards.
Justin Blackmon given a clean slate with the Jaguars coaching staff
Justin Blackmon given a clean slate with the Jaguars coaching staff
Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Tuesday that Justin Blackmon’s past problems remain “in the back of my mind,’’ but he is willing to give the troubled wide receiver a fresh start.
This is pretty good since Blackmon has been far from an asset on the Jaguar roster. He is already starting the season off on the suspension list for a violation of the substance abuse policy. Even though Blackmon believes he has no problems with substance abuse he sure isn’t helping himself.
When will these kids get it? I would love an opportunity to play in the NFL. I don’t think these kids take it as serious as they should. If Blackmon keeps at it, he will be out of the league soon like Rolando McClain.
When Bradley was asked if’s talked with Blackmon about having problems twice in less than a year, Bradley said, “We have. I keep challenging him, how do you want to handle this. I want him to take ownership. Don’t tell me what I want to hea
Jaguars O-lineman learn how to kick
The Jacksonville Jaguars decided to have some fun during their organized team activities. Kicker Josh Scobee took some time to try and teach the teams offensive lineman how to kick. The best thing about it was that Scobee got it on his camera. Take a look. (H/T Last Angry Fan)
Here is Josh’s reactions.

Laurent Robinson bringing awareness to concussions
ROCKLEDGE, Fla. When Laurent Robinson agreed last summer to become involved with a manufacturer of wireless impact sensors that can be placed inside football helmets, he had no idea how quickly the issue of player safety would impact him.
Four concussions later, the former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver was back Wednesday at the high school that he helped lead to state championships in 2001 and 2002. This years version of the Rockledge Raiders will become the first team in Florida outfitted with devices that can alert players, parents and team staff when a hit is too hard.
That not to say Robinson, a third-round pick in 2007 by the Dallas Cowboys who caught 11 touchdown passes for them the year before he signed with the Jaguars, plans to call it a career just yet.
Im feeling great, he said near the schools practice field thats named for him. Thats one thing I can say. All the time off has helped me out a lot. Its helped my brain to settle down and relax, not having to run and lift weights all the time
Jaguars move former 1st-rounder Alualu to DE
The Jacksonville Jaguars see upside in moving Tyson Alualu outside.
The Jaguars have shifted the former first-round draft pick from defensive tackle to defensive end, getting the 6-foot-3, 295-pound Hawaiian in a run-stopping role while allowing him to work in space.
”We feel it’s a good fit,” coach Gus Bradley said Wednesday. ”He’s all in favor of it, feels like it’s a better fit for him.”
Alualu was the 10th overall pick in the 2010 draft, a selection widely considered a reach. It didn’t help that Alualu injured his right knee in the preseason of his rookie year. Instead of getting surgery, he played two years with nagging pain and occasional swelling.
Alualu finally had his knee cleaned out last offseason, but he still didn’t feel 100 percent last fall. Nonetheless, he started all 16 games for the third consecutive season and finished with a career-high 82 tackles.
Now, though, Alualu’s knee feels the best it has since college and could allow
Jaguars using Denard Robinson at quarterback
I guess when you have a former first round pick in Blaine Gabbert that struggles to throw short passes, you have to start seeing what a former college quarterback like Denard Robinson can do. Not that he’ll be their full-time starter, but it sounds like the Jacksonville Jaguars have some packages for Robinson as a quarterback.
Asked Gus if Denard Robinson taking shot-gun snap makes him a QB or Wildcat. Gus laughed and said, “We don’t have to tell you.” …

No matter what the Jaguars try to do on offense, they’ll be in last place in the AFC South until they actually draft a competent quarterback.

Jags kicker tries to teach lineman how to kick
Jacksonville kicker Josh Scobee had some extra time on his hands during the Jags’ organized team activities, so he thought he’d try teaching some of the offensive lineman how to kick. What Scobee captured on film is nothing short of hilarious… Scobee’s reaction to his own picture pretty well sums up how everyone probably feels the first time they lay eyes on this unnamed O-lineman in mid-kicking form… Tried teaching our O-lineman how to kick….and WOW. twitter.com/JoshScobee10/s… — Josh Scobee (@JoshScobee10) May 14, 2013 Wow is right. If ever there was a picture that captured both the overwhelming girth and underappreciated athleticism of an offensive lineman, this is it. Josh Scobee should win the Pulitzer Prize for this photo, or as a consolation award, be traded to an actual NFL team. The post This is what it looks like when a beefy Jags O-lineman learns how to kick appeared first on Last Angry Fan.
Josh Scobee Perfectly Photographs Lineman Learning How To Kick
Josh Scobee may have failed in teaching the Jags linemen to kick a soccer ball properly, but he did manage to take one of the better pictures we have ever seen. The lineman who was caught in this brilliant photo appears to be Jason Spitz who tips the scales at just over 300lbs. Regardless of his weight, Jason has flawless form which would make ballerinas around the world jealous.

Blaine Gabbert having a hard time with short passes
According to Mark Long of the Associated Press, quarterback Blaine Gabbert has been struggled with his short throws during OTA’s
For whatever reason, Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert continues to struggle with short passes
— Mark Long (@APMarkLong) May 14, 2013
Well, all I have to say is I can’t say I’m shocked. It’s not like Gabbert has proven that he deserved to be drafted in the first round of the 2011 draft.
