Jaguars' offensive line showing improvement
11/20/09, Pro Football Weekly

The Jaguars have had a difficult time keeping David Garrard upright this season (Garrard has been hit a league-leading 68 times). Head coach Jack Del Rio's constant shuffling on the line earlier in the season was unpopular in the locker room, and didn't help matters. But it appears he has finally settled on a consistent five, and they have been playing much better lately. Our sources tell PFW that the club has been very pleased with the play of rookie OTs Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton, and they both have very bright futures with the team. Third-year OG Uche Nwaneri played so well in Maurice Williams' absence, that Williams has become the odd man out. OLG Vince Manuwai also has been solid a year after tearing his ACL, and should continue to improve. C Brad Meester is likely nearing the end of a solid career, but we hear the rest of the line has a lot of potential for growth as they gain continuity as a unit.

 

PFW has launched its brand-new NFL Draft Newsletter series, with the second issue being released later this month. Produced by PFW's player personnel department under the direction of Nolan Nawrocki, the series consists of four information-packed issues.

The Jaguars figured their home game against Buffalo was money in the bank.

And that was before the Bills fired coach Dick Jauron on Tuesday and elevated Perry Fewell, a former Jaguars assistant coach, to the job.

That may give the Jaguars even more of an edge because a coach leaving in a non-bye week can be a disaster.

San Francisco did it to Mike Nolan last October and the 49ers lost that week to Seattle, 34-13. Bobby Petrino walked out on Atlanta in December 2007 and the Falcons lost to the Bucs, 37-3.

The Jaguars go into this one an 8 1/2 point favorite. But when the Jaguars are big favorites, they're not always reliable. They're 6-12 against the spread when favored by 6.5 points or more under coach Jack Del Rio.

Just two weeks ago, they failed to...
