15-13, ahh a win, and in typical Jaguar fashion, they won with defense not offense, the main thing to take away is how good the Jaguars defense was against what many would call an elite offense.
The Jaguars first string defense was able to man htandle the Falcons, allowing only one TD and a little over a hundred yards of total offense.
Then, the Jaguars second string defense showed that they might have just as much talent as the starting defense.
The Jaguars has constant pressure on the Falcons QB's all night, and despite not having any sacks, they caused numerous passes to fall incomplete, and stuffed the run allowing only 72 yards rushing to Michael Turner and Co.
The standouts in this game for the Jaguars were Cecil Shorts, who had some good catches and is looking like a good number two receiver.
The others were the Blaine Gabbert, who showed good pocket prescense, and not quite as rusty as a Rookiee QB with no offseason should be (i.e. Jake Locker, Christian Ponder), and as I said before the defense overall, but Jeremy Mincey in particular.
He led the team with 3 tackles and was constantly running the RBs and WRs into the tackles of teammates.
I thought even before this game, and this just reafirms to me that the Jags have one of the most underatted defensive lines in the game today.
All in all I think the Jags are in for a good year.

A Profile On Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick no.7
6'5''
233 lbs.
He Ran a 4.53 40 yard dash and scored a 37 on the Wonderlic test (50 is a perfect score)
And those two stats really personify Kaep, things you don't usually hear together, athletic yet not a blithering fool like some athletes, the big man on campus, yet still humble.
A woman came into a sporting goods store that Kap was working in, and asked what number the quarterback for Nevada's wolf pack wore.
Kap responded telling her he was pretty sure it was 10 and he would be happy to find one for her.
A reporter asked his coach at Nevada about his tattoos and he told them that he was a kid with a pet tortoise who was on the honor roll, if they were looking for a story about a kid who escaped the gang life then they needed to look somewhere else.
Which, by the way, his tattoos are all Biblical or faith related, including a tattoo of the word faith across his bicep, and tattoos of Psalms 27:3 and 19:39, as he is a devout Christian.
And his 120 pound tortoise? His name is Sammy.
Now on the football field, his intelligence and leadership show, as do his athletic skills, he was only the fifth player to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season and became the first player to do that in back to back seasons, in his Sophomore and Junior years at Nevada. He was also part of the first trio of players to rush for 1,000 yards on the same team in the same year.
Then in his senior year he once again passed for over 2,000 yards and ran for over 1,000 yards, and became the first, and currently only, Division I College Football player to pass for over 10,000 yards and run for over 4,000 yards in a career.
On the field he is a great leader, as was evident in his first NFL preseason game where he was on the 49ers sideline trying to fire up his teammates to rally against a much better Saints team.
The other thing I noticed is his odd throwing motion gives him a quicker release then most Quarterback, without diminishing his throwing power, and he has great speed and decision making abilities when he takes off with the football.
All and all I think Colin Kaepernick has all the intangibles and tangibles to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Pre Season Week 1 Review Pt. 2
The second thing I would like to draw attention to was the play of a couple of Saints players, Joseph Morgan, an undrafted free agent Wide Receiver for the Saints, he had only one catch, although it was an amazing grab, but he really shined on punt returns, he had only one return that went for less than 10 yards, and that one was a fair catch.
He averaged 17 yards per return and had one amazing punt return for a TD.
Then there was the the play of Joique Bell, the 5'11'' running back the Saints signed last year when Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas were placed on IR, he had 9 attempts for 52 yards and averaged 5.8 yards per carry, and some really nice runs, much like the next guy on my list Chris Taylor another running back, he had 39 yards rushing and TD on 9 carries and averaged 4.3 yards per carry.
Both of those guys showed flashes of being good running backs, and potentially could be starting running backs in the NFL, and I maintain that any team that doesn't have quality players at a few positions should be signing the guys the New Orleans Saints cut.
The other great showing I saw from the Saints was backup QBs Chase Daniel and Sean Canfield.
My expectations for Chase Daniel can be put like this, Blaine Gabbert was his backup, i.e. he is better than Blaine Gabbert, and you should all know by now what I expect out of Blaine Gabbert, I expect better out of Chase Daniel.
At 6'0'' and with deadly accuracy so far (a 62% completion percentage against), he would appear to be another Drew Brees style Quarterback, with the ability to scramble very well.
Sean Canfield is a whole other cat, at 6'4'' he has protypical size for the position, now I haven't seen much of him in the NFL in his first game he went 1/2 with 21 yards.
In his Senior year of college football, he had 3,271 yards passing and a 67.9% completion percentage, and 21 TDs to 7 Interceptions (3-1 TD-Int ratio).
Both of them should have very good NFL careers, one with the Saints once Drew Brees retires (probably Chase Daniel) and one with another team.

Pre-Season week 1 review Pt 1.
When I begin to look back at week 1 there was one thing that seemed like a glaring problem with the new rules, I didn't see hardly any kick returns, and the ones I did see usually were tackled before the 20.
I have a problem with that because there are at least 3 big name guys (Devin Hester, Josh Cribbs, and now Patrick Peterson), as well as many not as big names (Courtney Roby, Deji Karim) who make their living as kick returners, if you take that away, much of their individual allure goes away.
I think they need to move the kick back to the 30 yard line, and if you want to make the game more exciting make a touchback be out to the 10 instead of the 20 so they are more inclined to take it out of the end zone.
The second thing I noticed was all of the upsets; you had the expected blow out of the Jags by the Patriots, and of the Saints over the 49ers.
But then you had the Carolina Panthers beating the Giants, the Miami Dolphins beating the Falcons, the Cleveland Browns beating the defending champion Packers, Arizona winning, over anyone, and my favorite the Seattle Seahawks beating the anointed ones, the Chargers.
I personally believe that is because all of these teams simply have better backups, with the exception of the Chargers defeat, where I believe Seattle is the better team, with the addition of Sidney Rice, the Seahawks have given Charlie Whitehurst (who will be the starter probably by week 8) another big target to play opposite of Mike Williams.
They also added TE Zach Miller giving them bookend TEs with John Carlson.
Now there are two things I would like to bring attention to that I saw in week 1.
The first is the QB who I have been following since the NFL Combine, Colin Kaepernick
(that's Cap-er-nick) who against the unyielding pass rush of the New Orleans Saints had a few good plays and didn't look half bad.
Now don't get me wrong, he looked like a rookie, but he made some good reads and dumped it underneath for a first down instead of trying to force it downfield on a couple of occasions, and when forced out of the pocket he kept his eyes downfield, and when nothing opened up, then he would run it himself.
The impressive thing in his runs, were that he is extremely gifted as a scrambler and did something his fellow number 7 never does that usually gets him injured, he slid down feet first.
And he was definitely better than Alex Smith.
Now he had two interceptions, the first one was just a bad pass, the second wasn't his fault as Nate Bussey just made an amazing break on the ball, and made a play that some safeties couldn't make.

Preseason week 1, Jaguars at Patriots
Patriots 47
Jaguars 12
Alright to me, that score means nothing, as do these stats
Blaine Gabbert
9/16, 85 yards
What does mean something to me is that Blaine Gabbert seemed, to me, to be making good enough reads against a very good Patriots defense.
His teammates didn't help him very much with a very poor offensive line and more than a few dropped passes.
This may sound like nonsense to anyone reading this but the most promising things from Blaine Gabbert were not in the stats but in the things you don't see in the box score, he showed poise and seemed fairly comfortable in the pocket, and contrary to most people's beliefs he didn't break into cold sweats, start screaming, and fumble every time they put him under center.
He had a few bobbled snaps but he made good reads and accurate passes most of the game.
The problem he had was that his receivers wouldn't catch the ball on quite a few plays, and his linemen weren't making all of the blocks needed for a Quarterback to look flawlessly sharp.
Now a lot of people are comparing his numbers to those of fellow rookie Quarterback Ryan Mallet of Arkansas.
Mallet went 12 of 19 for 164 yards and a TD pass. But the thing to note is, let’s face it, the Patriots have a much better receiving core and offensive line than the Jaguars.
With guys like Stevan Ridley(who I will get to later) and Taylor Price, who had 105 yrds and a TD, the Patriots obviously have an advantage when compared to guys like Jason Hill, Kassim Osgood, and Zach Miller, and I think you will see why Ryan Mallet came out on top in this competition.
Also Blaine went up against the first string defense of New England, whereas Mallet went up against the Jags second string defense.
The positives that I saw from Blaine Gabbert,(good reads, accurate throws, pocket presence, ect,) far outway the negatives that I saw.
Now does he still have a way to go, yes, he needs to learn the whole offense, and get a few more games under his belt, but I think by the time the season starts he could be just as good, if not better than David Garrard.
He made accurate throws most of the time, and as I said before his receivers dropped more than a few passes.
I say that if the Jaguars want to win they need Blaine Gabbert to blow them away in the rest of their pre-season games and win the starting job because as I said before Garrard is Trent Dilfer with the occasional big play potential of Michael Vick.
The other promising thing that I saw was Deji Karim as a punt returner and a running back.
Mark my words, if Deji Karim gets enough carries, he will unseat Rashad Jennings as the second running back on the depth chart and offer a breather to MoJo occasionally.
And I personally think he has the potential to be much like Maurice Jones-Drew, and should he reach that potential the Jaguars will have a two headed monster much like when they had Fred Taylor and MoJo.
Now, if you have watched or read anything about this game, you have doubtlessly heard about Stevan Ridley, well I am going to talk about him as well, as he was by far the most impressive player on either team, with 111 yards of total offense (64 rushing, 47 receiving), and 3 TDs (2 rushing, 1 receiving), he beat the second most impressive player which was Taylor Price.
Now me being an LSU fan I had a feeling that Stevan Ridley was going to be a great sleeper and had he been drafted by anyone other than New England he would be a 1,000 yard rusher as a rookie.
If he has a similar performance throughout the pre-season he will be the starting running back over The Law Firm of Ben Jarvus Green-Ellis.
And Danny Woodhead will be their 3rd down, Kevin Faulk-esque running back.
All and all I think Jaguars fans and coaching staff should be very happy with what they witnessed against the Patriots and should they start Blaine Gabbert, they will most likely have a winning record and have a shot at taking down the dreaded Indianapolis Colts.

Why The Jaguars QB Of The Future Should Be The QB Of The Present
Blaine Gabbert
6'5''
234 lbs.
3186 passing yards, 16 TDs, 9 INTs, and a 63.4 completion percentage in his last year of college football as well as another 240 yards on the ground with 5 rushing touchdowns.
Sounds like a good candidate for a first year starter to me.
The only knock on him is that he played in a spread offense in college, hmm, so now he's too stupid to learn how to take a snap under center?
Let's think about this for a minute, the transition from a spread to under center shouldn't be to much harder than going to play with and developing a rhythm with a new center.
Also he had to have taken some snaps under center in high school.
At the very least, he took a few snaps from under center at Mizzou, so it's not like it's an entirely different experience for him.
I would be more worried about him learning the new playbook, or getting timing down with the WRs.
So, to me at least, this whole business about he played out of the shotgun almost exclusively sounds like a bunch of nonsense, besides, if he can throw the ball and run the ball better than David Garrard (which I think he can), then line up in the shotgun, ease him into it, heck line him up in the pistol, it's half way between the shotgun and the ace (or singleback if you prefer).
My point is, David Garrard is a game manager who can occasionally make a huge play with his feet or make a great deep throw.
Kind of a hybrid between Trent Dilfer and Michael Vick.
Blaine Gabbert, I think, can be (this year) a guy who can make most of the throws and make a play with his legs.
Eventually I think he can be on the same level as Aaron Rodgers, as he has a similar skill set.
Now with Garrard's tight back and Jack Del Rio not wanting to take any chances Blaine will get his chance to impress against the new look Patriots.
In the preseason the Patriots will probably look like the old look Patriots as the hoodie isn't stupid enough to show everything he's got in an exbition game.
The thing to watch for in the Jaguars pre-season opener is to see how Blaine does under center (he may have 2-6 bobbled snaps), how he does with his reads, and whether or not he gets "happy feet" and tries to run too often instead of staying in the pocket.
In closing I predict, should the Jaguars start David Garrard they will probably struggle early unless Maurice Jones Drew carries the team on his back.
And by week 6 Blaine Gabbert should be the starter if Jack Del Rio wants to keep his job.

The Reason For The Name
If you are like me, you live, breath, eat, and sleep football, and if you are like me you also find a lot of the "talking heads" and so-called "experts" a bit annoying with all of their predictions that have little basis in reality. I.e. picking Dallas and San Diego for the Super Bowl for at least the past three years, despite Dallas not being able to make the playoffs most of the time, and when they do being decimated by Brett Favre (of course he retired so maybe we should crown Dallas), and San Diego getting beaten by Indianapolis every time they start to get anywhere in the playoffs, not to mention their inability to win the anything before December.
This year the football gods on ESPN have appointed the Texans as the ruler of the AFC South, and second only to the Patriots in the overall AFC, hmm, really?
The team that went 6-10 last year, and managed to be terrible despite having Matt Schaub, the league leading rusher (Arian Foster), and Andre "the giant" Johnson, not to mention Mario Williams and Brian Cushing. That sounds like another San Diego to me, another team not able to live up to their talent level.
Anyway, back to my point, they pick teams such as Philadelphia, Houston, and Dallas, who have tons of big names, but still have not proven anything, instead of the teams who have made the quiet moves that count in the offseason such as the New Orleans Saints and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
I will be primarily covering the Jaguars, with a secondary focus on the Saints, and a tertiary focus on the playoff picture, and other up and comers.
Anyway, this is my mission statement of sorts and I feel as if I'm drifting off topic, so let me say in closing that the reason for the name is this will be one of the last safe havens' of common sense and NO NONSENSE (and football as well).
