]]> Word on the street is that Josh Scobee won’t be holding out into the regular season.  This is a good thing for the Jaguars since the team is heavily reliant on Scobee’s leg and good special teams play in general.  The Jaguars have done well creating very good special teams units in the past.  Whether it’s Kassim Osgood, Montell Owens, or Adam Podlesh the Jags seem to accumulate top-level talent at special teams positions.

The problem?  The Jags can’t seem to hold onto that talent.

Last year the Jaguars had some major struggles after Podlesh the Punter was signed away in free agency.  Matt Turk didn’t quite fit the bill and the Jaguars were forced to pick up Bryan Anger (as good as he is!) in the third round of the draft.  Now, the other big leg is holding out after being slapped with the franchise tag.

The good news?  Scobee is a high character guy and won’t be holding out into the season:

 ”I don’t want to miss games or anything like that. That’s just not me, that’s not me as a person. I’m not going to sit out or anything like that. … I don’t want anybody doing my job. That’s been my job for the last 8 years.

Scobee’s leg has provided a number of great moments for the Jags in the past and it promises more to come.  I’ll be happy to have him back on the field whenever he wants to be out there.  He has yet to rule out skipping training camp, but to know that he will be on the field for the regular season is a comfort to all of us Jag fans.

Scobee, your message has been sent loud and clear.  Play hard and let the front office take care of you whenever they get around to it.

Someone please make these guys an elite group of pass catchers! Source: Jaguars.com

I don’t know if you have noticed, but the Jags’ receivers have been subpar as of late.  And by as of late, I mean the past three years.  Not only have the Jaguars failed to draft or sign an elite wide receiver, nobody on the roster seems eager to even step up and become that man.  Since Gene Smith’s arrival in Jacksonville three years ago, we’ve had three different receivers claim the title of “top receiver.” One, Mike Sims-Walker, somehow managed to get his way back onto the roster this past season despite him, rightly, being cut at the end of 2010.  Mike Thomas (2010) and Marcedes Lewis (2011) are the other two who have been top targets for the Jaguars quarterbacks.

Can it really be that hard to sign an elite, true #1 receiver that can actually catch the ball?  Maybe it’s that a lot of them have character issues…(yes, you Chad Ochocinco and Co.)

But why has Gene Smith been so absent minded when it comes to the wide receivers?  (Our tight ends are actually pretty solid, and Marcedes Lewis should return to dominance in 2012) (more…)

Brian Quick catches a 58-yard TD. Is Quick the next small school GM Gene product?

This past year was quite possibly the most pathetic showing of wide receivers in Jaguars history, OK, not possibly, it was. That’s including the years with Matt Jones and Reggie Williams. The wide receivers this year tanked and didn’t show any signs of improvement until the end of the year, which, interestingly enough, coincided with the bye week and the coaching change. The questions that remains are these…

“Who will the Jaguars acquire in Free Agency? Who will the Jaguars draft? Which wide receivers with the Jaguars keep?”
