			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gabbert this, Gabbert that.  If you&#8217;re a Jags fan it is becoming near impossible to avoid talking about the man under center.  He can make a great throw then sack himself.  He can hand the ball off to the running back and then hand it off some more.  Sometimes when talking about Gabbert we celebrate mediocrity simply because mediocrity is actually an improvement over his play last year.</p>
<p>But if you are Offensive Coordinator Bob Bratkowski, you&#8217;re seeing a player that is more improved than any other since April.</p>
<blockquote><p>I would say probably to this point at least with the practices that we’ve been through with the scrimmage Blaine is the most improved player that I see out here on offense.</p></blockquote>
<p>Is this a good thing?  Yes, yes it is.  Gabbert was a major blight for the offense last season.  But what does it say about everyone else?  Why are Laurent Robinson, Cecil Shorts, or Eben Britton those most improved players?  Why aren&#8217;t they more improved than Gabbert &#8211; who some describe as moderately/imperceptibly improved?</p>
<div id="attachment_11238" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 246px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/55/files/2012/08/6317196.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-11238 " title="NFL: Jacksonville Jaguars-Minicamp" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/55/files/2012/08/6317196-236x300.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Will Eben Britton improve this year?  Source: US-Presswire</p></div>
<p>Hearing about a player improving is good.  Coaches do tend to talk about it so much that often times you just end up tuning out coach-speak.  But when a coach makes a comparative statement about the <em>most improved </em>then you have to start to wonder what is going on with the other players.</p>
<p>I would argue that the Jaguars receiving corps was the bigger problem last season than Blaine Gabbert.  The guys just could not catch a ball (Bratkowski said there were way too many drops during his press conference and that the team is behind where it should be) and made Gabbert look worse than he was. If there had been an Andre Johnson in the mix, I think the season (and Gabbert&#8217;s completion percentage) would have been drastically different.</p>
<p>So, when we&#8217;re measuring our dear Blaine, we really need to take a hard look at how everyone else is doing.  Sure, Jennings could be MJD-Light and that&#8217;s a good thing, but without receivers can Jennings even be remotely what MJD was against 8-9 in the box?</p>
<p>The Jags still have issues on offene, they aren&#8217;t going away with Blaine&#8217;s improvement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Running around today you&#8217;ll note a lot of non-football related things going on.  The MLB Draft is occuring, locking in fresh young first year talent&#8230;once again proving that the NFL has truly made football America&#8217;s past time.  But when you&#8217;re desperate for sports, you&#8217;re desperate for sports.  If my Twins can turn themselves into a better team, then I&#8217;m game to watch or read anything.</p>
<p>E3 is also occuring from June 5-7, though analysis is already going on right now.  SPIKE TV is covering it all and makes the most interesting video game coverage you&#8217;ll get to watch all year.  The Electronic Entertainment Expo is drawing attention to anything and everything.  It is highlighting the new uses of Xbox, the Wii, and whatever Sony has to throw out there (which is apparently a lot).  XBox&#8217;s Kinect is making Madden &#8217;13 a bit more interesting, <a href="http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/06/04/nfl-madden-13-kinect-demo-e3-2012" target="_blank">highlighting the way you can play</a> the fan favorite video game.</p>
<p>While Justin Blackmon news dominates the day for the Jacksonville Jaguars sites (B&amp;T included), take a look around the web and see what&#8217;s going on.  It&#8217;s been a pretty busy day the world over.  For those of us that like to combine our video games and our sports news, it got an awful lot more fun this year.</p>
