I thought Colt stepped it up in his last opportunity, but his injury gave Chase a chance to get back in the game and put together an impressive drive. I would still give the nod to Colt and put Chase on the practice squad. But it's very close, in my opinion.

Anyway, time to lay the smack down

3rd Down Conversion I'm talking about the defense allowing something like 8 of 10 3rd down conversions by the Jaguars' offense. Not good

Anthony Alridge Ridiculous speed, absolutely sick. The way he turned on a dime on that last TD drive was quite the sight to see. But, his problem all summer has been holding onto the ball and what does he do? He fumbles the ball! leading to a touchdown. That's not a good sign. Especially when there's Dorsey who is plenty fast himself and hasn't been fumbling

Marcus Mason True, the opportunities weren't necessarily there. But when they were, to me it seemed like he was playing like a guy who either knew he was cut already or knew he was on the team. Not a guy on the bubble. Nice block on the Chase scramble though (the one that was negated by Marko's penalty)

This is driving me NUTS about the preseason. It feels like 2006 all over again. Sure, it's preseason, but we HAVE TO STOP getting people in third and a mile and letting them get it.
