As the 2019 NFL pre-season concludes and the regular season gets ready to start, we check in on sports talk radio in Jacksonville...
You are listening to 1010XL / 92.5:
Jeff Prosser: We are back here on The Drill on 1010XL/92.5 FM. Dan, let's get back to talking Jaguars football. Can we just go ahead and say that was one of the ugliest pre-seasons we have seen around here? I mean they didn't even look competitive at times during certain stretches. Do we need to hit the panic button here?
Dan Hicken: No, Jeff. No. I think the pre-season means very little. The team was clearly evaluating players and rotating line-ups. It was not very often when they had all the no. 1s out there together. I think the only time we saw that was the Packers game and, hey, they won that one pretty comfortably. I think what maybe is concerning is that I'm not sure any of this current crop of rookies is going to get any significant playing time. Perhaps that is the sign of a strong roster and hopefully not the sign of a weak draft class. At this time, it really only looks like 4th round pick RG Vigilio May has any shot at starting. Speaking of starters, we are really seeing a big shake up in the backfield. Were you shocked at the release of HB Chris Ivory after the second pre-season game?
Jeff Prosser: I was a little bit shocked. But, Ivory is 32 years old and running back is a young man's position Dan. And it is clear with the free agent signings of Williams and Parrish, and the drafting of Byron Quick, that the team looked to get younger at that position during the off-season.
Balls Davis: Who is the starter out of that group? Is it still T.J. Yeldon?
Jeff Prosser: I don't think so. I think based on playing time during the pre-season and performance, I think you have to go with Parrish. Balls, what were his pre-season stats?
Balls Davis: Parrish had 29 carries for 122 yards, a 4.2 yards per carry average and scored two touchdowns. Yeldon had eight carries for 15 yards.
Jeff Prosser: There you go right there Dan. I think Parrish is the guy.
Dan Hicken: Yeah, I think you're right just based on those numbers. I don't know though. Williams was the bigger name when he was signed as a free agent and got the bigger contract. We'll see. But, I do think with his fumbling issues and declining production that Yeldon is in serious danger of losing his starting role. Well, we saw that at the end of last season when he lost that role to Ivory. Who else impressed you Jeff during the pre-season?
Jeff Prosser: Well, Bortles looked solid during his limited playing time. I think Marqise Lee had a nice pre-season. On defense, Dante Fowler and Myles Jack flashed and I think Cassanova McKinzy showed that he is ready to take over the starting MLB spot if and when Posluszny calls it quits. But, let's bring on some real football, enough of this pre-season stuff. What do you think about this schedule? Once again the league kind of sticks it to the Jags. I mean, six straight road games to start the season, what in the blazes is that?
Dan Hicken: I know, that is crazy. I guess the glass is half full way to look at it is that they do have six of their final eight at home. But, that start will be tough. I think it will be a lot like last season where the team hovered around .500 for the first half of the year and then had to hold serve at home to get into the playoffs. We'll see.
Balls Davis: OK guys, we need to roll to commercial... you are listening to 1010XL, Jacksonville.
