Washington Redskins' Jon Jansen May Lose His Spot To Stephon Heyer

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:47:16 +1900

Current starting right tackle Jon Jansen, who has been a Redskin longer than any other current player, has had a very poor pre-season, letting defensive ends run right by him many times. Jansen received a hefty contract extension after the 2006 season, but he broke and dislocated his ankle in game one of the 2007 season, forcing him to sit out the entire year. Now he's healthy, but has in no way been playing like his old self. Stephon Heyer, who is entering his second season in the NFL, played well against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. Coach Zorn has now notified the media that Jansen's starting spot may be up for grabs. I assume Jansen may start against the Giants on September 4th, and if he plays poorly, we can expect to see Heyer starting in week two against the New Orleans Saints. Link

Many Redskins players hugged Williams, now Jacksonville's top defensive coach, and chatted with him as he stood near the Redskins' emblem at the 50-yard line.

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:12:11 +1900

Gregg Williams, the Redskins' former assistant head coach--defense, returns to FedEx Field on Thursday night as Jacksonville's top defensive coach.

Porter still hurting, could miss Jags' season opener

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:43:04 +1900

Jaguars receiver Jerry Porter, who has missed all of training camp recovering from hamstring surgery, didn't return Monday and is close to being ruled out for the season opener. Coach Jack Del Rio said Porter would need two weeks of practice, and Jacksonville is already less than two weeks away from their Sept. 7 opener against Tennessee. "I would say if he doesn't practice by (Tuesday) there's a very slim chance he'll play in the opener," Del Rio said.

Tampa Bay linebacker Antoine Cash was carted off the field with a neck injury in a preseason game against Jacksonville but had movement in his extremities.

"We don't know the exact severity, but he is moving around," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said after the game, won by the Jaguars 23-17. "The signs are good, but it's a scary thing.

AFC South Preview

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:49:26 +1900

The AFC South figures to be one of the NFL's best divisions again in 2008, and I foresee a different champion than the one we have seen for the past five seasons. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (projected record: 11-5) Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (Jacksonville, FL) Head coach: Jack Del Rio (Sixth year) Projected skill starters: QB David Garrard, RB Fred Taylor, FB Greg Jones, WR Jerry Porter, WR Troy Williamson, TE Marcedes Lewis, K Josh Scobee, P Adam Podlesh For the first time since the inaugural season of the AFC South in 2002, the division champion will not hail from the Hoosier State. With Peyton Manning hobbled, now is the time for Jacksonville to seize control of the division and make a run at the big prize. Offensively, Garrard was outstanding a season ago, with the third-highest QB rating in the league. That allowed the Jaguars to possess one of the greatest two-dimensional attacks of one season ago, and assuming Garrard continues to build on last year, the offense ...

The Miami Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-14 for their first preseason win. This win was the first for Tony Sparano as the head coach of the Dolphins. The Phins used the running game with safe passing plays to work their way to the end zone. Ricky Williams busted up the middle for a four yard touchdown as rookie kicker, Dan Carpenter, went 4-4 on his field goal attempts. Ted Ginn Jr. led all receivers with four catches for 58 yards. The Dolphins defense was superb, shutting down a high-powered Jaguars offense until the late stages of the fourth quarter. Jags running back Chris Brown ran three yards for Jacksonville's first touchdown. Jagaurs quarterback Todd Bouman added a 12-yard touchdown strike to Charles Davis. That would be all the scoring the Jags would get on Miami's defense. Miami will look for their second preseason win when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Chad Pennington will most likely start, as he proved how accurate he can be going 5-of-6 for 55 yards. ...
