Jimmy Smith losing Job?

Jimmy Smith could drop every other ball thrown to him this season and he will still see the most playing time out of any WR in Jacksonville.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The Jags LED THE LEAGUE in dropped passes last year. No, it wasn't the Seahawks, it was the Jags. The coaching staff hated it and remarked on it consistently. It's the single biggest thing the coaching staff was focusing on coming into this year. Smith has dropped multiple passes this preseason and has caught the coaching staff's attention already because of it. Smith drops every other pass for the first two games and he's done - anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves.

once matt jones is up to speed, he HAS to play. they are just a more difficult team to plan for when he is in the lineup. don't know who leaves the starting rotation - but as soon as jones is ready, he'll be in.

He's been practicing with the team since May. How much longer does it take to get "up to speed"?

dude - 'practicing' and 'playing' are two completely different things. as a coach, i wouldn't - couldn't - justify starting virtually any rookie in the first game of the season on principle alone (try and keep their ego down). throw in that he's got to handle hot routes, adjusting to blitzes or when a defense changes pre-snap...all of these things take a bit of time.

he WILL be starting by the end of the year - i actually have him as one of my offensive rookie of the year candidates...but i just don't see him being a top 2 receiver on that team until at least sometime in october.

side note, though. jacksonville is stupid if they don't get him on the field when they are in the red zone. i'd have him study what he needs to do there more than anything else. line him up outside...if even in a 1 WR formation - the defense really won't be sure what to expect and they'd almost definitly have to slide extra coverage his way.

Less than a week to go before kickoff and my blood pressure is high enough. Don't mess with me like this. Please!

Didn't you handcuff Jimmy Smith with Matt Jones? Tut tut tut Wesley ...

Somebody got Jones. But I collected potential cuffs Larry Johnson and Mike Anderson. SO it sort of evens out.
