Jack Del Rio-end of year

Jack Del Rio did his end of the year press conference. You can watch it on Jaguars.com or read Vic Ketchmans synopsis of it on the same site.
Del Rio, in summary said that they will review all personnel and the people who were a hinderance in the locker room will not be there and that they will bring in people that will help play the football he wants-smart and tough. Sounds like a good linebacker mentality. I love it!

The jaguars need to decide if they want to keep Khalif Barnes (OLT) and Mike Peterson (MLB).

Peterson is older but he is great to the locker room, although him and Del Rio had their scuffle this year, mainly involving contract issues, i see an outside shot for a two year deal. Only problem is Del Rio would undermine himself-this cannot happen. It would be stupid, and make him look stupid.

Jerry Porter needs to get released quicker than anyone in the history of Professional Sports. He had 11 catches for 181 yards and 1 TD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!
WHat a waste of $10 million dollars.

Next cut the overpaid Drayton Florence, who is ranked a one star on many websites that know more than i do. He also got a ten mil signing bonus. We need a corner so Mathis gets thrown and makes the opposing QB regret it.

We need D lineman
We need a starting Corner
We need a starting LT, especially since Khalif Barnes cant ever remember the snap count.
We need a reciever that can get a little seperation.
Matt Jones is the leading receiver, he averages 63.4 yards a game. not bad, he will get much better, but he needs someone else to take the pressure off and Dennis Northcutt is not the answer, he has butter fingers. he is a good leader but he has way too many drops.

Oh and Reggie Williams needs to get cut, i looked him up and when he was drafted, he ran a 4.5 40. I know thats not the most important. but a top ten drafted receiver should be a little faster right? Anyway, i do not know the official stat and dont care to look it up, because i know what my eyes tell me is better than any stat in this case. Reggie Williams probably came close to dropping more balls than he caught this year. Sorry Reggie, this is a performance based league- you might find a job in Oakland or Detroit, maybe....

And finally David Garrard, say what you want. He is not the problem. Going into week 17, the last game of the season. He had been sacked 42 times, and knocked down another 121. What quarterback can get in a rythm much less perform well with that kind of pressure. Especially when he knows if he throws it, there is about a 40 percent chance the receiver drops it.

Jacksonville led the NFL in dropped catchable balls in 2008. It wasnt Jones Drew and it wasnt Matt Jones. Cut the rest except Mike Walker, he is only a third rounder so he is cheap and he still has potential.
just draft crabtree and be done with it.
