]]> With the new addition of Dawan Landry, the Jags now have two starting caliber safeties.  Courtney Greene, the other safety, proved he was worthy of the job in his duties as the strong safety last season.  But, as we have all read and know, Dawan Landry is not a pure free safety to complement Courtney Greene.  Instead, in our new defensive duo, we get two players who hit hard, play rough, and are tackling crazy.  But neither are a true free safety.  And without a true free safety, mismatches could develop.

Now, with one preseason game under the Jags’ belt, there is no need to panic (especially since it’s almost all about evaluation for the coaches), but what will happen when the season actually begins? (more…)

Let's not be lemmings. Let's think about this. thanks fundmymutualfund.com

My dear gents and ladies, last week in “What’s Next” we took a peek at whether we should be taking a leap of faith with the Jaguars in 2011.  There was a little speculation, a little bit of cold hard fact, but, it was mostly a projection conjured up from what the statistics and coaches can tell us at this point in the offseason (namely, four months into a lockout).  So, now, let’s glimpse into the future a few more times with some other positions.

It’s always nice to be optimistic, and it’s nice to rely on what the GM and coach are telling us, but can we really trust what their actions and comments are telling us?  Below we look at free safeties and linebackers with statistics and speculation.  Let’s dive in. (more…)
