Jacksonville Jaguars Football: Come on already
Fans in Jacksonville are patiently waiting for the start of Jacksonville Jaguars football. What will this season bring and what can the community expect?
Why is football season still so far away? It’s only the start of June. Ugh. I can’t be the only one counting down the days? I have secured my season ticket, as well as my ticket to the Jaguars at the Ravens preseason game. I am flying to Baltimore for the game because I need my fix.
I have put all of the games on my calendar so that I can schedule around them. Sorry friends that don’t love the Jaguars, but yes, my life revolves around their schedule.
Don’t plan anything you want me to attend without checking the team’s schedule first.
We are all excited about seeing Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles in that No. 7 jersey. This is our first franchise quarterback that has championship experience. He can lead this team from a place of understanding and not just anticipation. This is new for us as fans as much as it is for the franchise.

We have a leader on the field, and that will make all of the difference. We have a quarterback that our players can trust. Watch out, change is coming fans. Tom Coughlin also seems really excited about our new backup quarterback Gardner Minshew. We are building a great quarterback duo.
I am also looking forward to Josh Allen the first round draft pick from Kentucky. I had the honor of seeing him in action at the VRBO Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Day. His energy was contagious and I am hopeful that he will bring that with him here to Sacksonville.
He is dynamic to watch. His passion is tangible from the stands. That is exciting!
With Telvin Smith sitting this year out, Allen has a real chance of being on the field and showing us what he is capable of. Calais Campbell will take Allen under his wing and help him build his maturity, and that is what builds a great team long term.
As a Gator fan, I can’t keep from mentioning Jawaan Taylor as well. The offensive line had so many holes this past season. I am hoping Taylor can come in help. We need to protect our quarterback, something that we haven’t seen in recent seasons.
We need a strong offensive line. I am hoping that we have filled those positions with men of passion and persistence.
This year already feels different. There is a new energy on the practice field and I for one can’t wait to experience it this season. Are we going to have a perfect season? Probably not. But are we going to walk out of TIAA Bank Field week after week feeling defeated? I hope not.

The schedule this year is intimidating, but the good news is that we won’t have to sit next to Steeler fans this year with their dang towels.
