Here is another picture show on something I saw Eben Britton do against the Colts. There were a number of plays I could highlight but I liked this one because in the same play against Miami last year, he whiffed his block. This year, he doesn’t whiff as you will see. Click on any picture to bring it up in clear large detail.
It is a run to the right with Eben leading
That is Robert Mathis in pursuit
Greg Jones is on the ground but Eben gets into great position
Eben blasts Kelvin Hayden to clear the corner
Kelvin is blown back to disrupt Mathis
Maurice now has an opening to hit
One man to beat now
Maurice got 5 more yards off the Eben block.
Eben is finding his man better and getting in better position to hold and sustain a block. He did very well with the Colts Robert Mathis. For the four games thus far, he is credited with 1 QB sack, 4 QB hits and 3 QB pressures. This is ranking him in Joe Thomas company. If Eben keeps this up, he will be Gene Smith’s best draft choice of the last two years.
Eben Britton has made me eat my words. Sorry I doubted you Eben.

Hello. A little about me. I came to Jacksonville in 2005 after spending a lot of time in Erie, Pa. Erie is located almost equally from the Browns, the Bills, and the Steelers. I chose the Browns. Season tickets were impossible, regular game tickets maybe. I was raised to be a football fan by my Dad who took me to see his team, the Bills. OJ Simpson days.
When I moved to Jacksonville, I could have season tickets! I found Big Cat Country and began writing for them for I think 3 years. The site went from almost nothing to very popular and then when Alfie took over, it went through the roof. Before Alfie came, I found Black and Teal laying by the roadside abandoned. I took it over on January 16, 2010 and wrote every day and every night. I recruited Zoltan to help. Then the Hof came and I handed it to him. He did great and he found Mr. Sims who he gave it to.
So welcome to the site. Here is what I have learned in my 6 years of Jaguar blogging, sometimes I'm right! Not a lot of the time, but sometimes, just like you. We are not insiders here, nor are we journalists. We are just fans, just like you. Welcome.

Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars
