Thanks, FBT. Nice read, as always.

If the trend that we saw late in training camp continues, Sensabaugh is going to retain the starting job at SS and Williams will slid to the nickel position as his full time gig. 

What a strong secondary that would be.  How will Scott Starks play a role if this becomes the starting line up? 



If your a fan then stand up and cheer, otherwise go home to your cozy couch.   This is our house baby!

Great report FBT. Do you think there will be room on this roster for Charles Davis? Also, it seems like every off-season/preseason Wyche steps up his game, barring any injuries do you think he makes this roster and if he does do you think he will get playing time? Lastly, do you see Pettway making the roster because it seems like Groves could be used in the same role and I would rather keep Wyche.

Charles Davis is actually one of the more entertaining stories of training camp.  I didn't figure him for the roster initially, but after watching this guy in training camp, I think we may have found a third TE that we will want to hang on to who isn't named Wrighster. 

Based on how he catches the football, I think Koetter will find a way to work him into the playbook.

Let's see what happens with Pettway/Wyche in the preseason.  Wyche has had the better camp overall, but the cream rises to the top when the hitting goes live.

This guy intrigues me as well. Given his size I'm compelled to think he's probably a good blocker. If indeed that is the case, then there's no need for a guy like Angulo who's virtually worthless in the passing game. I also think Wrighster is headed to IR yet again (possibly on the PUP at first), if not the waiver list. There's no room on the roster IMO for a chronic injury waiting to happen. Chris Brown is too small to be a legitimate TE, and Adam Bishop was already waived. So I'm starting to think the TE line-up will look like this...

  1. Marcedes Lewis
  2. Greg Estandia
  3. Charles Davis
  4. Joey Zelenka (will he ever actually play a down as a TE?)
  5. Chris Brown or Isaac Smolko (on Practice Squad)
  6. George Wrighster (on PUP/IR)

From what I have witnessed Charles Davis is not the blocker that Angulo is but he is one heck of an H-Back who in a short area is a very nice target for David Garrard.

Estandia appears to be the seam stretching TE, while Davis is the over the middle short area TE and Marcedes Lewis combines both.

You'll proabably see him as first alternate at CB if Florence or Mathis go out or need a breather.  Even if BW slides over to fill for them if they're worried about height/matchup, Starks would still be BWs replacement at NB.

I've always commented on liking the idea of having BW, Sensabaugh, and Nelson on the field most of the time.  That's a load of DB talent where the third guy could be playing a nickel corner, safety, or linebacker role.  QBs can't identify the coverage solely based on who's on the field or where they're lining up.

how much is wrighster making?  didnt he just sign a contract a year or 2 ago?  I wouldnt be suprised if they cut him, especially with the huge contract harvey is going to soon sign.

about the secondary thing.  I still think Brian Williams will start at SS, but I'm now thinking when they are in nickel he will move to the NB.



Rashean the I-N-T Machine Mathis- best CB in the game
TMD's "predictions" so far for 08 season:
-Minnesota and Philly in the NFC championship game with Minnesota in the Superbowl
-Denver Broncos in the AFC championship game
-Houston a top 5 rushing team in the 09 season
-Houston seeded higher in the playoffs than the jags
- jags finishing 9-7 at best
- Browns finish better than the Jags
-Jags finish last in the AFC South after a bad showing in the preseason
TMD and I have a bet for $100 on the Jags wins
-Denver winning the AFC West LOL
-Bengals over Jags 24-21

As far as H backs go, I liked what Cotrone brought prior to his injury.  I hope he can make it back to compete next year at 100%.

Not to mention that he represents my home state...anybody who plays in the cold, cold north of Maine is tough enough to play in Jax.

I was never as high on Cotrone as others. I could see how he was a devastating blocker who excelled in moving to the 2nd level and blocking LBers. Still, in my mind he did not exhibit the talent that Charles David exhibits as an H-Back.
