Training Camp 2013 – Day 3
By Daniel Lago
Inconsistency has been the main theme through the first three days of training camp, especially regarding the two quarterbacks. It’s to be expected with a new offensive system and a multitude of new faces at receiver and tight end.
After a less than stellar practice yesterday marred by multiple fumbles and interceptions, it looked as if Blaine Gabbert came out with redemption on his mind.
Just individual drilsl, but Gabbert is putting some mustard on passes today at Jaguars camp. Think he took yesterday's practice personally?

Full 11-on-11 continues. Gabbert running with first three, 0x3 then connected on sweet back shoulder throw to Shorts #Jaguars

In fact both Gabbert and Chad Henne improved from yesterday’s up-and-down performances.
QBs looking sharper overall so far today. Nice crossing route Gabbert to mike brown #Jaguars

Both Gabbert and Henne looking better in 11on11. Both throw TD passes to Shorts, who is good. Jaguars camp.

Gabbert did have his obligatory poor drive…
Tough series for gabbert to open seven on 7 / two way off incompletions and one almost intercepted bygratz.

But overall the quarterbacks came away looking much better than they did in day 2.
3. Much better day in 11-on-11 for Gabbert -- no botched snaps, no interceptions. Henne was efficient. #Jaguars

It only took three days of practice, but it’s almost a certainty that Cecil Shorts III will be the best player on the Jacksonville Jaguars this year. Gabbert and Henne hooked up with Shorts for multiple long touchdowns and all reports say he’s downright uncoverable.
Henne to shorts long td back of end zone. This shorts guy is good. #Jaguars

Gabbert just turned in a beautiful back shoulder td To shorts. Shorts is just very very good

Rookie offensive weapon Denard Robinson is still getting used to his new role, but he flashed some of his potential as a playmaker while showing he needs to work on ball security.
Denard takes a draw 20 yards for a TD in team drills

Tough day for Denard Robinson. Dropped pass, a fumble with no defender on him. Rookie growing pains. At this point, hes his own worst enemy.

Rookie receiver Ace Sanders continued to flash, today as a punt returner. The Jaguars haven’t had a viable threat returning punts since Reggie Barlow left but Sanders is looking to change that.
Ace Sanders with a "wooooooo" juke On punt return. He continues to be a crowd favorite
