Midseason Report

Jacksonville Jaguars (3-4)
Grade: C-minus

What they’ve done well: Maurice Jones-Drew spearheads a great rushing attack. He can break a big gain at any time, whether it's getting to the outside running between the tackles. Jacksonville amasses 135.6 rushing yards per game (8th in the league), but could run even more. They are tied for 2nd in yards per carry at 5.4 yards per attempt. With all of that, you'd think David Garrard would be a more effective passer. He has as many touchdown passes as interceptions (5).

Needs improvement: Is the Jaguars’ defense in the witness protection program? Everyone vanishes when it comes to stopping opponents. Jacksonville ranks 25th in overall defense, giving up 370.7 yards per game, and nearly a 130 rushing yards a game. They are dead-last in sacks with just 5 for the season and it’s no surprise they have only 5 interceptions on the season.
