Thank you, Derrick Harvey, for gracing Jacksonville with your presence, even if your uneventful debut precluded your first practice.
All three QBs tossed a touchdown pass and the defense was stellar as the Jacksonville Jaguars completed a 3-1 preseason--most importantly with no significant injuries--with Thursday night's 24-3 win over the struggling Redskins. The win was Jacksonville's first dominating one as they outgained the 'Skins 339-176, more than doubled them in first downs, converted ten of seventeen third downs, and held the ball thirteen minutes longer than Washington.
Concerns for the Jags include a pretty lackluster preseason by Garrard who will be counted on significantly, the NFL-readiness of Harvey, and a receiver corps that has yet to prove that it's anything but mediocre. Notable cuts by the Jags include QB Todd Baumann (who actually had a pretty decent preseason!), 5th round pick Trae Williams (DB) and WR D'Juan Woods.
In more dramatic news, Fred Taylor (RB) was arrested early this morning for an incident outside of a club in Miami, though it does not seem to be something that will have much of an affect on the season.
Next up for the Jags are their division rivals in Tennessee on September 7!
