AFC South names to watch If you are looking for content that is perfect for debate over a round of beers Jacksonville Jaguars Hoodie , ESPN’s Bill Barnwell delivers. His most recent release takes stock of the names worthy of attention for the coming 2018 NFL season.He breaks the list into 8 categories.The Now-or-NeversThe Rookies (or Almost Rookies)Familiar Faces in New PlacesThe Rehabilitation StoriesThe Breakout StarsOne More RideThe Wild CardsThe GhostThe AFC South has significant representation in critical positions, allowing us to look beyond 2018, to what future changes could impact the hierarchy of power within the division.The Now-or-Nevers: Blake Bortles and Marcus MariotaThe Jaguars are the media focus of quarterback instability, but the Titans share the same boat. While Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota is seen as a better talent, his decline since his rookie year is noticeable. Still a threat on the ground, Mariota’s accuracy has become a concern. Both he and Bortles have suffered from inconsistent receiving corps, and either coaching instability or improper use. Each team comes into the season hoping consistency and creative play calling will improve quarterback production.Barnwell rates Mariota 2nd on the list, and had this to say about him.Barwell rates Bortles 8th, and these were his observations on the Jaguars QB.I think Bill succinctly highlights the chicken/egg problem of these two quarterbacks, and tacitly asks the question of what skills are sufficient to retain services. Both Jacksonville and Tennessee field defenses capable of bailing their offenses out of quarterback shortcomings (Titans caveat to follow), but that wears on team chemistry. Familiar Faces in New Places: Malcolm ButlerOne of the most interesting narratives from last year’s Super Bowl was the benching of Malcolm Butler (ranked 25th by Barnwell). Brought in to help the Titans 25th rated pass defense in yards allowed (3,828), the question is whether he was an asset or liability in New England. The Patriots suffered an even worse defense in allowing 4,020 yards through the air, putting them at 30th. Here is what Bill had to say.The Rehabilitation Stories: J. J. Watt, Andrew Luck, DeShaun WatsonWhen J. J. Watt (27th) is on, he is a tough matchup. Unfortunately, Watt has battled injuries for the past two years. There is not much I can add to the lore of the ex-Badger Youth Customized Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , and it is not obvious that without a healthy Watt the Texans defense is less effective. In 2015, Watt led the league in sacks with 17.5, even though his defense finished 30th. In 2016, the Texans had the top rated defense, even with Watt only starting in three games. However, in 2017, with Watt only playing in five games, where he managed 11 tackles and 2 passes defended, the Texans defense ended the year ranked 20th. The Texans also lost Whitney Mercilus in the week 5 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.The small sampling above may indicate there is more to the Texans defense than just Watt (cough, cough...Aaron Colvin, Jadeveon Clowney and Mercilus). Still, the big questions are 1) what are the long term impacts back and leg surgery, and 2) will those injuries necessarily limit the ability of the eight year veteran.For me, Andrew Luck (30th) falls here and Now-or-Never. When Luck is healthy, the Indianapolis Colts are historically playoff contenders. When not, they are inept at best. Injured in 2015, playing through it in 2016, and finally sitting out 2017. The good news for the Colts is that he appears to be getting stronger with every preseason game. The bad news is that he took on a minor foot injury, and he sits behind an offensive line learning a new system. And who is he throwing to? And will he have a complimentary running game?Vince Young. Marcus Mariota. Two AFC South quarterbacks who showed promising rookie campaigns www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com , but never made the next step (and I am referencing Young very loosely...MJD was the OROY). So where will DeShaun Watson (32nd) sit? I am unapologetic in my affinity for the Clemson Tiger. He was the guy I wanted in the 2017 draft, and aided by an anemic defense, Watson led the offense to point totals of 33 (twice), 57, and 34. He battled, but lost, to Tom Brady in New England, and led a 4th quarter comeback against the Chiefs that just fell short. As I have written before, if Watson was the Jaguars quarterback we would be lauding the upside of what he brings to the offense.Watson looks to throw first, so how much will the knee impact him, and will that offensive line allow him to throw first?The Breakout Stars: Jalen RamseyWhat? Placing Ramsey here implies he has yet to come close to his ceiling. That is scary for opposing offenses. Players and writers recognize his impact, and it is debatable as to whether he presently is the best at his position, though even in that debate the margin of difference is microscopic.While some may point to Ramsey’s bravado as a negative, I would argue he is simply playing the role of mental disruptor. And he backs it up.What may be the most intriguing aspect of Ramsey’s potential for development is the cast around him. The Jaguars defense is arguably the best in the NFL, and when talent is surrounded by talent everyone wins.There are some AFC South omissions that Barnwell could easily have added. Mike Vrabel, as a new face, has a tough task in Tennessee if you consider the Mariota argument above. What does a defensive minded coach bring to a struggling offensive system? Sticking with the same team, and same category, can Matt LaFleur find the same success in Tennessee that he had with the Rams and Jared Goff?The AFC South will not be short of narratives to watch Jacksonville Jaguars Womens T-Shirt , in what could be a very balanced division. The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) are traveling to play the Dallas Cowboys (2-3) today in a game that has almost become a must-win for both teams. Before the game begins, we wanted to ask the Big Cat Country team (and you!) a simple question:“How will the Jaguars do against the Cowboys today?”Alfie Crow (@AlfieBCC)The Jaguars should be the Cowboys on Sunday and honestly it shouldn’t really be close. No one but Ezekiel Elliott on the Cowboys scares you, so the Jaguars should be able to key on stopping him and shut the rest down. Depending on which Jaguars offense shows up, they could win big.Jaguars win 20-9Ryan Day (@ryaneatscake)This game (like every game quarterbacked by Blake Bortles) go either way. It could be a three-score win for the Jaguars, a close loss, a nail-biter that the Cowboys win by a field goal... I think the offense does just enough and the defense shuts down Dallas.Jaguars win 17-6Jon Kirland (@BCBCouch)The narrative all week has been how endangered the offense is with the rash of injuries, so in true Jaguars/Bortles fashion, they’ll have an offensive explosion. The defense gets a touchdown off a turnover as well.Jaguars win 27-13Ryan O’Bleness (@ryanobleness)It’s bounce-back season! While the Dallas Cowboys actually have a good defense, Blake Bortles generally performs well following a poor game, and the Jaguars have rarely dropped two straight games under Doug Marrone. The Cowboys have struggled offensively, especially in the passing game. Jacksonville’s No. 1 ranked passing defense should make life difficult for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ 30th-ranked passing offense all game long. It just doesn’t seem like a favorable matchup for Dallas, and so long as Jacksonville can avoid turning the ball over on offense and contain Zeke Elliott on defense, the Jaguars should earn a road victory.Jaguars win 24-13Brian Fullford (@iambwf)So it’s “Good Blake Week” right? I just don’t know anymore. What I need is for the defense to play elite. Isn’t this the matchup for that? Am I only going to ask questions?My bold prediction: Elliot is shut down and the Cowboys are held under 10 points.Jaguars win 17-6Filip Prus (@JaxonFil)“Good teams don’t lose two games in a row.” — Calais CampbellGood teams may not, but injured teams certainly can. Were it not for some injuries especially along the Jaguars offensive line, this game would be a slam dunk for the Jaguars. With that being said, the Texans awful offensive tackles held their own for the most part against the Cowboys, and Kendall Lamm at right tackle especially did enough to keep Demarcus Lawrence from doing too much damage. If the Texans line can hold up....Jaguars win 23-10What do you think? Got any predictions for the Jaguars vs. Cowboys game? What do you think the final score will be?
