1 DAY AGO - Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports The Jacksonville Jaguars are starting their season without Blake Bortles as the starting quarterback for the first time since 2014. It could have been another rookie taking his place, but count wide receiver Dede Westbrook excited that it’s now Super Bowl MVP quarterback Nick Foles. Speaking after practice on Tuesday afternoon, Westbrook says that caliber of quarterback is what this team has been “lacking” in recent years. WR Dede Westbrook: ''Nothing against Blake (Bortles) at all, Blake is a great friend of mine, but to be out there with Nick (Foles), a Super Bowl MVP quarterback, obviously that’s what we’ve been lacking.'' #Jaguars— John Reid (@JohnReid64) August 20, 2019 ‘’Nothing against Blake (Bortles) at all,” Westbrook said. “Blake is a great friend of mine, but to be out there with Nick (Foles), a Super Bowl MVP quarterback, obviously that’s what we’ve been lacking.’’ Is Foles a top tier quarterback in the NFL? No. There are no Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports The Jacksonville Jaguars running back position has been a weird one so far through the 2019 offseason, training camp and the preseason. The team hasn’t really ran the ball well outside of a few flashes by rookie Ryquell Armstead, but they’ve also been operating with a makeshift backup offensive line most of the team. The team lost veteran Alfred Blue, who is in a walking boot, seemingly for a few weeks. That injury prompted the team to sign Elijah Hood, which made me a bit curious. The Jaguars have a bunch of mudders at running back and that’s it. Should we be worried about that? Last offseason I wrote about how it seemed like a huge risk for the Jaguars to enter the regular season with just three true backs on the roster, all entirely different from each other with Leonard Fournette, T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant. Unfortunately, that risk busted and Fournette got hurt, Yeldon was mediocre and Grant got hurt. That led to a way-too-late panic trade for Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports The Jacksonville Jaguars are finished with two weeks of their preseason schedule. Week 3 is traditionally when starters get a lion’s share of the reps and Week 4 features the bottom of the roster, so we’ve seen almost all we’re going to see of the 53-man roster. Who makes this roster and who doesn’t? Here are my predictions for who I think will be on the 53-man roster come Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Offense QB: Nick Foles, Gardner Minshew, Alex McGough (3)RB: Leonard Fournette, Ryquell Armstead, Alfred Blue, Thomas Rawls (4)TE: Geoff Swaim, Josh Oliver, Ben Koyack, James O’Shaughnessy (4)WR: Marqise Lee, Dede Westbrook, DJ Chark, Terrelle Pryor, Chris Conley, Keelan Cole (6)OL: Cam Robinson, Andrew Norwell, Brandon Linder, A.J. Cann, Jawaan Taylor, Will Richardson, Tyler Shatley, Josh Wells, Cedric Ogbuehi (9) Defense EDGE: Yannick Ngakoue, Josh Allen (2)DE: Calais Campbell, Dawuane Smoot, Lerentee McCray (3)DT: Marcell Dareus, Taven Collapse
