Another Jag done for the year. Leader of the D. This is getting ridiculous.

The injuries are really starting to add up for Jaguars defense. They've been known as a good D but at some point you have question if they'll be able to keep that distinction. Hayward and Peterson are the obvious players missing as Jacksonville's top pass rusher and tackler. But beyond those two the Jags have lost Pat Thomas LB, Jim Davis DE, Elton Patterson DE, Chris Roberson CB, and Tony Williams DT. None of these guys were starters but they did contribute to depth and as more people go down their loss will become more apparent. Also, Stroud, Wiley, and Sensabaugh among others have missed games and continue to battle injuries.
It may seem odd to question the Jags D after a shut out and in fact back to back home game shut outs, but even with the depth they had in training camp at some point the injuries will likely show in performance. Perhaps the shark move is to sell high after the shut out if you can find a decent deal.

Wow, there is a team in the NFL that is seemingly more snakebitten with injuries than the Eagles?? I feel bad for Jags fans.
not in IDP circlesIt is what it is said:This is another big hit to the front 7. Peterson, Hayward and now a gimpy Stroud, combined with the other players listed above, and one has to seriously wonder about the Jags overall depth on the defensive side of the ball.
A plus to mention is that Jacksonville Head Coach Jack Del Rio works his LB's tails off year round. And in being a former quality NFL LB, Del Rio's ability to recognize and implement talented players at the position that fit his defensive scheme bodes well. Which is obviously why he brought Peterson here in the first place. The addition by subtraction (Colts) factor was an added bonus to that deal.
This is definitely one to keep a close watch on, as Mike Peterson is one of the most underrated LB's in the NFL.
i may have missed it above but i didn't see any early word on who is to take over...
daryl smith might be logical choice since he was highly regarded MLB at GA Tech who converted to OLB in JAX (kind of like peterson converted from WLB to MLB)... there would obviously be some dropoff, but i think smith will acquit himself well if given the chance...
of course they would then need to fill the hole at OLB...

Mentioned it already in the IDP thread but Nick Griesen's name should be in the mix too.

The Jags are on bye this week so there's time for things to change, but the LB line up will likely be one of these two:MLB- Tony Gilbert, OLBs- Smith, GreisenorMLB- Smith, OLBs- Greisen, Ingram I'd put Smith at Mike and get Ingram on the field. Clint Ingram has been coming on very strong.Word in camp was that if he wasn't a 3rd(and 4th with the trade up) round pick he might have been cut. But since then he's been coming on strong. However it works out, D. Smith will be the best LB on the field(which is why I expect him to end up at middle) and the best fantasy option. If Tony Gilbert ends up at middle, expect very nice numbers from him as well. Henderstroud should be healthy by then and back to playing cookie monster with the O-linemen.

I'm glad I have Demeco Ryans in my keeper league, sad to see Peterson's year end like this..
