Team: Jacksonville Jaguars
Sport: Pro Football (NFL)
Stadium: Alltel Stadium
Head Coach: Jack Del Rio
Super Bowls: None
Background:
Run the ball. Stop the run. Those were the points of emphasis
by head coach Jack Del Rio last year, so it should come as
little surprise that Jacksonville spent the off-season making
improvements to the offensive and defensive lines. Leftwich's
time will come; unfortunately, it won't be this season. There
is a best-case scenario for the Jaguars. If Leftwich gets
in sync with Smith and his pair of rookie receivers, and Taylor
rushes for another 1,500 yards then the Jaguars clinch a wild-card
spot. Worst-case scenario: Taylor gets injured and Leftwich
plays like a second-year quarterback as Jacksonville battles
Houston to avoid finishing last in the division.
