But the coolest thing is this:

Good Thing We Still Have Matt Jones

Reggie Williams is undergoing arthroscopic surgery to fix damaged cartilage in the right knee. Just like Jerry Porter, he is expected to miss at least all of preseason.
Also, first round draft pick Derrick Harvey is still without a contract.

Oklahoma Drill Draws Huge Turn Out

The Oklahoma drill is a right of passage and an honor. Yesterday, over 3,000 Jacksonvillians (not scared away by the storms) came out to witness it.

Jaguar Game By Game Season Prediction

Week 1, September 7: Jacksonville at Tennessee — Win
It is always good to start of the season with a division rival, especially the one that gets more scorn from Jaguar fans than any of the others. Jeff Fisher’s “playing at Jacksonville is like playing at home” comment still gets my black and teal blood boiling.

Quinn Gray Now With Colts

The Jaguars let Quinn Gray go because he hoped that he could go find a starting position somewhere else. There were no ill feelings and most Jaguar fans wished him luck. He was a good backup for the Jags and if he could find a spot to be a star, he deserved it.
