Jaguars Team Report
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:48:21 PST)

Jack Del Rio, who had been the ultimate players coach, is going to try to reinvent himself as a tough-guy coach in his seventh season.

Reviewing the team's 5-11 record, the Jaguars coach said a lot of things will have to change to get the team back in playoff contention—including a tougher training camp. And players have to buy into his plan and participate in the offseason program in Jacksonville. No more training at different sites.

"Obviously 2008 was not a good year for the Jaguars organization," Del Rio said. "We went into the year with high expectations and didn't realize those expectations, really didn't even come close to it. On the whole, the year was unacceptable.

Manning nearly perfect as Colts beat Jaguars 31-24
(Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:24:22 PST)
Peyton Manning asked his coaches at halftime if they had any suggestions for him. All he got was, "You haven't thrown any incompletions. Just try to keep doing what you're doing." Great tip.

WR Dennis Northcutt makes most of chance with Jags
(Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:15:30 PST)
Dennis Northcutt could have complained. He could have ripped the Jacksonville Jaguars for signing free agent receiver Jerry Porter to a six-year, $30 million contract in March. He could have vilified receiver Matt Jones for his arrest on a felony drug charge in July. He could have mocked coaches for keeping him on the sideline when the offense struggled to establish a big-play passing game.
