Magnificent Seven X
Each week in the Magnificent Seven, jaguars.com senior writer John Oehser offers seven thoughts on all things Jaguars . . .7.More praise for Poz. We’ve praised the acquisition of middle linebacker Paul Posluszny in Magnificent Seven already, but you know what? My column, and I praise who I want as often as I want. The bottom line is there were a lot of people who questioned the signing of Posluszny in August. That may be, but the Jaguars are very, very glad they signed him. The Jaguars made five significant defensive free-agent acquisitions – Posluszny, linebacker ClintSession, defensive end MattRoth, safety Dawan Landry, cornerback DrewColeman – and traded for safety DwightLowery. Considering the overall improvement of the defense, it’s safe to say overall that strategy worked. If there is a key to the group, though, it might be Posluszny. He has complemented defensive tackles Tyson Alualu and Terrance Knighton to improve the run defense, and has played better in coverage than many believed he would. He also gave the Jaguars something they sometimes didn’t have last season – a middle linebacker who could get the team in and out of the right defenses and act as something like a coach on the field. The belief is that Polsuszny will only improve as he gets more comfortable in the defense, and if that’s true, he could be a key to the defense for several years.6.He’s ba-a-a-ack -- perhaps. Veteran defensive end Aaron Kampman practiced Wednesday and it’s possible he’ll make his 2011 debut this week against Cincinnati. There have been a lot of fans asking about Kampman being a bust because he only has played eight games thus far with the Jaguars. I don’t see that the way a lot of people do, mainly because he has missed time because of injury. To me, that’s not the same as someone coming in and detracting from the team because he’s underperforming or a locker room malcontent. Last year, Kampman gave the Jaguars eight games of leadership, but more importantly, he gave them significant on-field performance: four sacks in eight games. He did that coming off of an ACL. Doing so again will be more difficult. He’s a year older and now has had two ACLs in a two-year span. The odds aren’t with Kampman, but from all you hear and from the time I’ve spent around the guy, if anyone can squeeze more production than what might seem logical from a situation, it’s Kampman. He prepares with professionalism and if there’s anything to give, he’s going to give it. The Jaguars are hoping that’s enough to add some significant pass rush to an already solid defense. We’ll see.5.Tough October. Anyone who’s read the O-Zone regularly knows I’m not a big look-at-the-schedule-in-August guy. Too much changes from week to week and the NFL is too much of a year-to-year league to know in August what will happen in November. I still believe it’s tough to look too far down the road during the regular season, but now we’re into October and we’ll overstate the obvious by saying this is a very difficult month. Not only did the Jaguars face one of the NFL’s best offenses last week against New Orleans, they now face Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Baltimore in consecutive weeks – the NFL’s top three defenses – before facing the Texans in late October. The good news? It’s not absurd to think the Jaguars can play with Cincinnati, and although the Steelers are still very good defensively, they don’t look like the dominant team they did this time last season. My thought is that the Jaguars are going to get better as the season continues. I believe quarterback BlaineGabbert will improve and that while there aren’t many long-term solutions in the receiving corps, the unit will improve in the short-term as the players get used to Gabbert’s style. For that reason, I think the Jaguars will play significantly better than people anticipate in the second half of the season. The question: can they improve quickly enough and piece enough victories together in October for November and December to matter?4.AFC South. So, here were are – just another year with the Houston Texans atop the AFC South. That’s sarcastic, of course, but with the Indianapolis Colts – the division champions seven of the last eight seasons – seemingly out of the division race practically before it begins, the division has a decidedly different feel. The Texans through four games are 3-1, and while they look very, very good, let’s not forget: they looked very, very good last season before shattering at mid-season and finishing the season 6-10. The Texans’ defense appears improved – and it’s certainly well-coached with Wade Phillips as the coordinator – so there’s little indication the Texans will collapse, but there’s a lot of season to be played before we anoint them division champs. The same is true of the Tennessee Titans, who at 3-1 are better than many originally thought but who still have holes.Premier Robert Meachem Jersey, Replica Robert Meachem Jersey, Dallas Clark Jersey, Robert Meachem Replica Jersey, Authentic Knowshon Moreno Jersey, Dallas Clark Jersey Authentic , Peyton Manning Jersey, Robert Meachem Authentic Jersey, Tim Tebow Jersey, Dallas Clark Authentic Jersey, Tim Tebow Authentic Jersey, Authentic Tim Tebow Jersey, Knowshon Moreno Jersey, Peyton Manning Authentic Jersey, Authentic Dwayne Bowe Jersey, Dwayne Bowe Jersey, Authentic Peyton Manning Jersey, Knowshon Moreno Authentic Jersey, Authentic Dallas Clark Jersey, Knowshon Moreno Jersey Authentic , Robert Meachem Jersey Authentic, Tim Tebow Jersey Authentic , Robert Meachem Premier Jersey, Peyton Manning Jersey Authentic , Authentic Robert Meachem Jersey, Robert Meachem Jersey Premier, Robert Meachem Jersey Replica, Dwayne Bowe Authentic Jersey, Dwayne Bowe Jersey Authentic
