[Editor Note: Zoltan and I continue our look at the top candidates available to the Jaguars with the 10th or 11th draft selection.  So far, we like and hope for Joe Haden. Today we look at Rolando McClain who we also like very much. Here is Zoltans write-up with some of my notes included.]   
 
Well we can dream about Eric Berry or Joe Haden (or some about Tim Tebow…) but let’s face it, we would need luck for either of those two to be available. But that doesn’t mean the 10th or 11th spot won’t produce an impact player. If we had [...]

Black and Teal publishes their first view of the draft.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the announcement, or pending announcement, of Ernest Byner and Rob Boras as new assistant coaches.  Take nothing away from Mike Tice and Kennedy Pola, both are top quality men and coaches.  I hope the best for them both, but their replacements are fantastic!     
Let’s start with Rob Boras.  If there has been one thing the Chicago Bears could count on, it was the play of the Tight Ends.  In 2008, Desmond Clark and Greg Olsen combined for 95 catches.  95 CATCHES!!!! I can’t contain myself… 95 CATCHES!!!  Hello Marcedes, Hello Zack Miller!  If you can [...]

[Editor Note: Black and Teal is preparing a very well thought out Draft Board. Zoltan and I agree, Joe Haden is a top candidate. Zoltan did the scouting and here are his impressions.  Please add your comments. ]
Last year the Jaguars were lucky. Almost nobody expected that Eugene Monroe; the left tackle from Virginia was still on the board when the Jaguars picked their 1st round draft choice of the 2009 Draft. Well it happened; and Gene Smith made the right move. Now I wonder; what if a top talent falls down once again when the Jaguars pick on April [...]

I need more time to write this story but I think the pieces are falling into place.  Three things I can say for certain; Wayne Weaver is not happy about the state of the Jaguars, Wayne Weaver is very actively engaged in the restructuring of this team, and Jack Del Rio has been neutered.  
The firing of Ted Monochino tells me a lot. This firing was not, I believe, done by Jack alone.  Consider this tweet message from Michael Wright: 
  
I did get the fact that Monachino remains on the staff confirmed. 
Michael Wright is simply the best reporter this town has on [...]

One day after the season ended, Jack Del Rio takes a vacation and the knives come out aiming for his back.         
FOX’s Jay Glazer reports that some members of the Jaguars’ organization have been “killing” coach Jack Del Rio behind close doors.          
Jack Del Rio said that he and Gene Smith have a good relationship and I believe him.  I don’t believe Gene Smith is behind these attacks on Jack. These are coming from someone closer to Wayne Weaver.        
There are other reports that said the problem is a disconnect between Jack’s guys and the others. But who is deciding it is a problem?         
Del Rio [...]

[Editor Note:  I am amazed that the Jaguars have international fans and that they are so knowledgeable. Here is Fabio's take on the offense.  I hope we hear from him again.]
Offense
Offensive line: If there’s one position that Gene Smith will try to avoid drafting in the first round is offensive tackle. Let’s be clear: Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton are the present and the future. I like Eben more, because of what Jeff Lageman has said about him. Hard worker, down to earth guy. I know Terry loves Eugene, but he still seems a little stiff sometimes.
On the inside, it [...]

Congratulations to David. Does anyone other than me thinks it is time for a simple award banquet?
