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.
