JAGUARS 101

Running Back

1. Maurice Jones-Drew
2. Deji Karim
3. Montell Owens 

Quick Take: No surprises here with Rashad Jennings out for the seas

on. Brock Bolen and Greg Jones can tote the ball too. 

Fullback

1. Greg Jones
2. Brock Bolen

Quick Take: Jones is one of the game's best. Bolen is a capable backup, as is Owens. 

Wide Receiver

1. Mike Thomas
2. Cecil Shorts
3. Jamar Newsome

AND

1. Jason Hill
2. Jarett Dillard
3. Kassim Osgood 

Quick Take: Thomas and Hill were both expected to be the starters but it will be interesting to see who the primary slot receiver is. It looks like it'll be Shorts for now.

Offensive Line

LT

1. Eugene Monroe
2. Cameron Bradfield

LG

1. Will Rackley
2. Jason Spitz

C

1. Brad Meester
2. John Estes

RG

1. Uche Nwaneri
2. Jason Spitz

RT

1. Eben Britton
2. Guy Whimper

Quick Take: It's a fairly young line for the Jaguars. Bradfield, an undrafted rookie from Grand Rapids, has an important role as M

onroe's backup but seemed competent this preseason. Spitz is listed as a backup but will get a lot of time with his versatility. Could the team really not do any better than Guy Whimper? Britton better be healthy.

Tight End

1. Marcedes Lewis
2. Zach Miller
3. Zach Potter

Quick Take: The usual suspects with Lewis and Miller. Potter wasn't a surprise either at No.3

Defense End

LE

1. Aaron Kampman
2. Matt Roth 

RE

1. Jeremy Mincey
2. Austen Lane

Quick Take: Roth was brought in to start but Mincey's pass-rush ability and strong preseason propelled him to starting right end. Expect there to be a lot of moving around though.

Defensive Tackle

1. Tyson Alualu
2. Leger Douzable
3. Nate Collins

AND

1. Terrance Knighton
2. C.J. Mosley

Quick Take: Douzable and Collins had great pre seasons and made the roster because of it. The starters here are rock solid and the depth isn't shaky either. 

Linebacker

SLB

1. Darryl Smith
2. Kyle Bosworth

MLB

1. Paul Posluszny
2. Russell Allen

WLB

1. Clint Session
2. Kyle Bosworth

Quick Take: This is how we thought the starters would look and Allen's experience makes him a reliable backup. 

Defense Back

CB

1. Derek Cox
2. William Middleton
3. Kevin Rutland

SS

1. Courtney Greene
2. Dwight Lowery
3. Rod Issac

FS

1. Dawan Landry
2. Chris Prosinski

CB

1. Rashean Mathis
2. Drew Coleman

Quick Take: This has the makings of a pretty solid group if everyone can live up to their potential. Greene is starting over the newly acquired Lowery for the time being and Prosinski has found himself on the two-deep even though he missed a lot of the preseason.

Special Teams

PK

1. Josh Scobee

P

1. Matt Turk

H

1. Matt Turk

PR

1. Cecil Shorts
2. Mike Thomas

KR

1. Deji Karim
2. Jamar Newsome

LS

1. Jeremy Cain
2. Russell Allen

Quick Take: Shorts earns the starting punt return job as a rookie. Newsome will get some looks as a kickoff returner and that might have helped him make the roster.
