2022 Season Preview: Jacksonville Jaguars

-


The 2022 Jags take the field this year, after a dreadful and eventful 2021 campaign. The Urban Meyer experience failed and he was fired after going 2-11 to start the season. Fast forward to now, and the franchise has hired an experienced and proven HC in Doug Pederson to lead the way. Will he bring the stability the franchise is looking for and bring forth a contender in the AFC?

Offense: 

Offensively the Jaguars put in a lot of money to this side of the ball bringing in key free agents that is led by  WR Christian Kirk. The WR that last played for the Arizona Cardinals looks to become WR1 for the franchise. Can he live up to the standards and the hype? They also brought and 2 additional weapons in WR Zay Jones and TE Evan Engram. They should be able to help tremendously in the passing game to help out Trevor Lawrence. The biggest FA addition in my opinion was the signing of Guard Brandon Scherff. He's an established Pro Bowl guard that will help change the attitude on the offensive side of the ball and become a meaner and more physical group. 

As a whole, the offense will be much improved than it was the year before. Pederson has surrounded Lawrence with a wealth of QB knowledge that will help him in his development with Offensive coordinator Press Taylor, QB Coach Mike McCoy, and of course himself to lead the charge. The experience that Pederson has will bring a more cohesive and competent unit. As much as people expect Trevor to be the start of the offense, Running Backs Travis Eitienne, and James Robinson are the key to having a successful offense this year. A team that in the past that has struggled to score points and stay on the field needs to sustain drives, needs to prioritize the run game to be a successful offensive unit.

Offensive Season MVP:  Zay Jones


Player That Needs To Step Up: Jawaan Taylor


Defense: 

The Jaguars defense has been retooled and revamped and looks to be the most talented it has been since the 2017 Sacksonville defense, It will be led by 1st-year Defensive Coordinator Mike Caldwell who comes from the Tampa Bay Bucs staff, where he coached Linebackers. The strength of this defense will be the front 7 led by the edge rushing duo of Jags captain Josh Allen and 1st Overall Pick Travon Walker. The chaos they can create both in the passing and run defense. This unit will go as far as they will go. In the secondary, it has been upgraded with the free agent signing of the hometown kid and former Rams CB Darious Williams who help solidify the nickel spot. 2nd-year Safety Andre Cisco should bring instant impact to the safety position with playmaking ability. At the linebacker position, it will be led by FA Signing Foye Oluokun and Rookie LB Devin Lloyd.  With their high football IQ, and tackling ability 

Defensive Season MVP: Travon Walker

Player That Needs To Step Up : Davon Hamilton

2025 Jacksonville Jaguars Training Camp Preview

-
The Liam Coen era is officially upon us as the Jaguars  begin  their first training camp under Coen. The youngest staff in the NFL will look to create and establish stability, building a culture that can lead to the consistency the franchise has been searching for since Tom Coughlin roamed the sidelines. Coen is billed as an offensive savant who has produced effective offenses everywhere he's been—from UMass to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and every stop in between. While he's not typically viewed as a QB guru, every offense he has produced is very QB-friendly. Can Coen finally be the one to turn Trevor Lawrence into the player he is destined to be? Newly appointed General Manager James Gladstone, viewed as the "boy wonder," comes from the Los Angeles Rams' front office, where he honed a keen eye for talent under the tutelage of Rams GM Les Snead. Gladstone has taken the reins and looks to make moves that will push the Jaguars to an AFC South division title and make ...

Physical Jags Deliver in Liam Coen’s Debut, Defeat Panthers 26–10

-
The 2025 season started off with a bang as the Jaguars decisively defeated the Carolina Panthers 26-10. This was Jaguars HC Liam Coen's highly anticipated coaching debut. Many wondered what this team would look like. From the very first press conference, Coen said he wanted to be physical and run the football. Both of those expectations showed up in full effect on Sunday. The Jags rushed for over 200 yards — their most in a season opener since 2022, when they rushed for 246 yards against the Colts. They were led in the run game by running back Travis Etienne, who rushed for 143 yards on 16 carries. Etienne had a game-changing 71-yard rush to get the Jags into scoring position. The Jaguars used all four running backs in the game. LeQuint Allen served as the designated third-down back, while Etienne, Bigsby, and Tuten rotated on early downs. The defense was led by captains Foye Oluokun and Jourdan Lewis. Both showed up in huge ways. Oluokun forced two turnovers in the first half, and...

College Football 2019 Season Preview and Predictions

As the new college football season is quickly approaching, I'll be previewing the upcoming season with some predictions as well. Will Clemson repeat as National Champs? Will the Pac 12 have a resurgence to the national scene? or Who will be the dark horse to rise to the National scene? 2019 Power 5 and Group of 5 Conference Champions SEC:    Alabama Crimson Tide The Alabama Crimson Tide returns to 2019 with a bad taste in their mouths. The Crimson Tide were embarrassed on the biggest stage against Clemson, losing 44-16 to the tigers. I expect a resilient team this year. Bring back QB Tua Tagovailoa, and the best WR Trio in the nation tied with Clemson. Jerry Jeudy is arguably the best player in college football, and another branch on the Bama WR tree, He's dynamic in every way. He and Tua will carry Bama to another SEC title, but I do believe this will be one of the most difficult SEC seasons for Bama in a long time. Intense battles with Auburn and LSU will...
