Official Preseason Thread Jags @ Pats

[Froob]

Hope Lewis doesn't play anymore. I think he's pretty good, can't have him get hurt.

Fumble?

Made the Jaguars highlight reel more than once.

- Burnt for a 97-yard TD
- Bad kickoff return on the very next play
- Even without those two plays he looked very out of place on defense

 

[Patstopia]

So do you think in the 2nd half they may talk about the game instead of having Fart and Smello talk over it?
I don't think so!

Album?? I thought that was Bob.. from Bobs discount furniture

I don't know, man..maybe I'm just smelling colors and tasting sounds at this point

That's a good point, but of those guys Tyms is the only hype I really bought. The key with Carr is that he's doing it against NFL-ish talent and he's doing it in a way that demonstrates a niche that's in demand in the NFL. If you compare his 3 cone, short shuttle, and 10/20 yard splits to Edelman's, it quickly becomes clear that he has NFL-caliber agility to go with adequate NFL size. And so far today he's supplemented that physical profile by demonstrating sure hands, the footwork to make catches along the sideline, and the ability/willingness to high point the ball and bring it down in traffic. That physical profile, plus the skillset that he's putting on display, wins you roster spots. Every team in the league is looking for that skill profile right now and it isn't the easiest thing out there to find.

He isn't a guy with a slightly above average 40 time and decent size trashing on corners who will be selling insurance in a couple months. If he was making his mark by bringing down 40 yard catches after beating a ****ty 7th string corner by a step and a half, I'd be a lot more skeptical. He's a guy with legitimate NFL size/agility displaying legitimate NFL skills.

Absolutely. His biggest weaknesses are separating when guys get in his grill, quickness is pretty average and as a route runner he needs to improve. But his hands, football IQ, acceleration, body control and YAC ability are there.

Good play from JG too being evasive.

Alright, tell me that does not look like Edelman.

Put a fork in him.

He's done

Assume 2nd half is Burkhead and Daniels.

It's crazy how he's completely fell apart.
My guess is we try to trade him for a 7th.

Only problem is, I think they only have three active. Lewis, who is RB1 opening day, Bolden, who is the top ST player right now with Slater out, and DJ Foster who I imagine will see a ton of time in the second half.

Anyone I'm forgetting?

 

[oldrover]

Who am I?

You win if you guessed 'Christian Fauria'.

Yes!! Winter is Here!!

They are the worst

If I didn't know Jules was sitting on the bench I'd think that was him.

[BradyFTW!]

. . . and the NFL's premier monopoly on diminutive white wide receivers . . . (around the 5 minute mark):

Carr's 6'1", I dunno if I'd call him diminutive

He might want to fill out a job app for DeMoulas first.

He's horrible

Burkhead's not playing tonight

 

[BradyFTW!]

I am expecting the inevitable Austin Carr vs Danny Amendola thread to be in excess of 25 pages of length.

Yeah, not looking forward to that. Hopefully Carr stops turning heads so we can get him through to the PS.

 

[BobDigital]

IMO JG has gotten to good too get much out of playing against this level.

If he is not playing against at least 2nd team it is not worth seeing.
