Jacksonville WR situation (1 Viewer)

[Holy Schneikes]

So we have reports and/or opinions that:

Reggie Williams will be cut.

Reggie Williams will start and is their best and most consistent WR.

Dennis Northcutt is a sure starter and possible #1.

Dennis Northcutt is a fill-in journeyman and possible slot guy.

Sharon has been the best receiver in camp and is currently a starter.

Sharon may be back on the PS.

Wilford is one of the two clear starters.

Wilford is essentially the least talented and least consistent of the Jax WRs.

Mike "Sky" Walker is the most talented WR on the team and has looked the best in camp.

Walker is near the bottom of the depth chart.

Matt Jones will be a starter when all is said and done.

Matt Jones is #4 on the depth chart and will only be a slot receiver.

John Broussard was a star at mini-camp and has been makiing plays all pre-season.

John Broussard is a 7th round rookie and may not make the team.

Does that about sum it up?

 

[JaxBill]

No, this about sums it up:

People are putting way too much stock in a depth chart and the situation is very tenuous for anybody not named Dennis Northcutt or Mike Walker.

 

[Bri]

didn't we go thru all this at the beginning of last year too? E Wilford was everyone's "sleeper" WR.and Wilford, despite his great efforts, couldn't catch the ball to save his life.R Williams emerged as the true #1 WR and finally started to live up to his draft position. M Jones continued to be a "project".I can't imagine that anything in camp has changed this. Maybe M Jones will develop more.But Wilford? sorry. I want to like the guy, but he can't catch well enough to even challenge R Williams.D Northcutt? sorry. Another guy that's easy to like but he's not a #1 WR. Really, I'm hoping everyone is buying into all this coach-speak. Reggie Williams will be a steal in the 12th round.

I think what some are missing here is the Jags seemed to be tired of this nonsense. If Sharon and Walker starting means they have two reliable WRs that will do well, we could see that. Depending on opinion, neither may be the most talented or most athletic but if you read enough JDR pressers and articles about him, there's a definite "I've had enough, let's move forward" attitude there.What you have said above here is basically expecting them to repeat last year. The hope, the plan, seems clearly to NOT let that happen.

Exactly.That's why I'll take the guy who was drafted #8 (?) overall, has a great rapport with the QB, knows the offensive system, and has previously emerged and been considered the clear cut #1 on the team.

 

[Polyethylene Bag]

FWIW I just saw this blurb claiming that Williams is likely to be cut.

(Rotoworld) Reggie Williams has been "moping around" and appeared "disinterested" at Jaguars training camp.

Impact: Well, this certainly isn't going to help you climb a depth chart. It's looking more and more likely that Williams, who also has been slow to pick up new coordinator Dirk Koetter's offense, will get a visit from the Turk.

I hear you Bri, but we see this all the time in pro sports. The most talented guy(s) are lazy or head cases and as much as you'd like to bench him for Rudy Rudiger, you just can't.So, I guess, really my point is that R Williams is the most proven and has the best chance to be the #1 WR in JAX... sure the whole situation is a mess, but in the 12th round, I'll take R Williams. It's baffling to me that M Jones is consistently drafted higher the R Williams when Williams clearly emerged last year.

I hear ya, and that argument makes sense. Williams sure looked decent at times last year. On the other hand, two OTHER can't miss WR prospects from that same year are either out of the league (Rogers) or soon Will be (Mike Williams). Wouldn't put too much stock in draft position at this point.Honestly, I have ZERO idea what is really going on down there. My approach (other than maybe avoid the whole deal altogether), would be to just draft whichever of them comes the cheapest, since it sure as heck seems it's like a random shot to me.Maybe they just go some sort of 7-wide Hail Mary formation all year?

Fair enough to disagreeIMO though Williams is not THAT talented like Moss or whomever that they make excuses for him. As I said earlier, I think he's talented enough that they could get a decent conditional trade for him, thus leaving the acquiring team with minimal risk. I'm of the line of thought that you can't make some adult have a great work ethic and attitude but a change of scenery sometimes forces a guy to re-think his approach. People here seem to think he is a solid workout warrior but the WR coach seems to disagree. Whatever the case, there's some seeds there that a new team would probably think it's possible he straightens out or is just fine. Again so a minimal risk.I don't see the gain for Jacksonville in keeping him. Obviously there's no pressing need as they're deep at WR and add to that, that JDR seems to be a coach that would have them run every down if he could. They'd be keeping a player that doesn't get along with his positional coach so that leaves the monday morning positional meetings a bit strained and a mopey attitude(stated/quoted above) can't be good for team morale either. I think the Jaguars are in a unique situation having this much talented depth and so this could be handled differently than other teams in the past. It's hard for me to imagine the "rah rah" coach JDR that just eats up when undrafted free agents work their tails off, appreciating any of this BS from Reggie. His eyes light up when he talks about that DB or Wimbush or one more guy can't think of his name, that have tremendous work ethics and earned their spots as "nobodies" enterring camp each year. He also gets excited about Sharon who worked his tail off on their PS last year and this spring to become a way way way better WR than he was in 06. Reggie's attitude or work ethic(depending who ya talk to) does not fit with the plan from what I percieve the plan to be.

 

[Jiggyonthehut]

People here have to understand that the TU is following quite a strict agenda and one that has called for tons of Leftwich and Williams bashing both in the past and currently.

Take a look at the headline in Today's paper Leftwich: Organization at Fault Give me a ####### break, the guy handled it as diplomatically as possible and you're still out to get him.

This paper has a ton of faults. I urge people to read up on what goes on at practice via the official message board or any unbiased journalistic source (such as the Jaguars Scout page).

Reggie, despite his on-field hijinks, is praised for his work ethic. I find it very hard to believe he's simply moping around practice.

 

[JaxBill]

I've just come back from the game and I've done a complete 180.

Reggie is a Dead Man Walking.

When they had him in the game, it seemed they would intentionally motion him to one side of the field and look to the other.

Or they would bring him to only block.

So, they either :

A) Already know what he can do and want to evaluate the others

B) He's written his ticket out.

Broussard continues to impress and Sharon made a difficult catch. Walker and Northcutt aren't going anywhere. Wilford has made some decent catches and Leftwich seems to have his timing right with him.

As a season-ticket holder, I have no problems if the Jags decide to clean house and clear out both Reggie Williams and Matt Jones. My biggest gripe is if they keep Jones over Williams. To me, Jones doesn;t want the ball and wants no part of contact. The throw in the corner of the end zone was severely underthrown so I can't fault him for not catching but he never made any adjustments to the ball or seemed to want ot get the ball either.

He may be, but he'll be on some team other than Jacksonville. Ask anyone who was at the game tonite...he is GONE!

The coaching staff of the jaguars gets worse every year. Del Rio will be fired after this year's upcoming disaster. All this team will have is a running game. The passing game if the WR's are stone hands wilford and a career 3rd WR grossly overpaid northcutt is a disaster in the making. It does look like they are going to get rid of the best WR. And yes the facts back that up over the last 2 years, Reggie Williams has caught the highest percentage of passes throw his wayout of all the WR's. He's also the best blocker. Northcutt's 180 soaking wet body can't block a flea. Jones doesn't even know what blocking is. Leftwich is telling it like it is. Del Rio is an idiot and has surrounded himself with more idiots.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

You may want to recheck your WR catch %s. Wilford and Williams came into the league the same year and have had the same QBs throwing to them and Williams % is only ~1% better than Wilford's. Despite the fact that Wilford's been much more of a threat to score TDs, and has a YPC that's almost four yards higher than Williams'.

You don't like Wilford, fair enough. But by ANY objective measure he's been a far better receiver than Williams over their careers.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Its the 15th RD in my dynasty draft and I traded up for an extra pick in that RD.... my QB #3 (Lefty) was taken right before my extra pick... I remember this post and drafted Reggie Williams as my WR #5.

Williams and Lefty connectted last yr; he had 4 TDs in the first 5 games... thats well worth a flyer in my book

JaxBill,In your opinion, who is more valuable in Dynasty leagues, Broussard or Walker? Understanding that both are more valuable in Dynasty league than redraft, which one do you think will do more this season?Thanks!

As a Jag season ticket holder, I will answer Walker.

Walker. The coaches are very high on him and possesses the size that Broussard lacks while still have pretty good speed.

Matt Jones is the best WR, no question. He can score TDs better than any of the others. Don't put too much stock in preseason and Walker. It will probably be Jones, Wilford, and Northcutt. It does sound like Williams will be cut but I think he will catch on and produce somewhere else.

Strongly disagree. Perhaps the most talented but certainly not the best receiver. I'd argue that Walker is pound for pound the best receiver we have on the team but still not as talented as Jones. You have to be able to catch the ball consistently to be a go-to receiver. Matt hasn't shown that yet.

In no way shape or form has Matt Jones shown to be a #1 caliber WR in the NFL.

I think Sharon is starting the next preseason game making things more muddled.

 

[texasheat]

They will keep Matt Jones on the field in case they need to run the reverse pass.

 

[Wadsworth]

No, this about sums it upeople are putting way too much stock in a depth chart and the situation is very tenuous for anybody not named Dennis Northcutt or Mike Walker.

I think this post is still accurate. Sharon and Broussard have helped themselves a lot but they are still unproven in real games. Wilford continues to quietly perform decently well but he's the oldest of the bubble guys and there's not much upside. Matt Jones and Reggie Williams might not look great so far this preseason but they have looked good in real NFL games in the past. Sure they've largely been disappointing but they do have some experience. The only new news is that there appears to be a real chance the Jags will keep 6 WRs. That still leaves one of this group getting walking papers but it might only be one. Sharon and Broussard are eligible for the PS but I seriously doubt the Jags would risk losing them if they think they have a future. Sending them to PS would basically be cutting them at this point.

To further muddy the waters, the Jags have a new depth chart that is equally dubious. Reggie WIlliams is a top backup but low man is Mike Walker and I can't see him getting cut. http://www.jaguars.com/team/depthchart.aspx

 

[Da Guru]

I watched Jax quite a bit last year, I think that Wilford is the best one of the bunch..now that is not saying much.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

I really don't know what the buzz is about Walker. I haven't been overly impressed with him enough that tells me he is a lock to make the team.

[Frank Black]

[Pocket Joker]

Wilford & Northcutt are the starters with Jones and Williams as the backups. I think Wilford is the only guy worth owning on your bench.

Walker, Broussard, and Sharon are fighting for a roster spot this week as one will most likely be cut. After all the talk about Williams and Jone being cut, they are on the team; after all the talk about how great Sharon and Walker were, one of them will be cut. YOu have to take preseason with a big grain of salt. Also, I do not expect Wilford and Northcutt to stay the starters all year. And, there will be a lot of three WR sets so Jones will still get his looks.

Personally, I put very little stock in this depth chart too. I can't see them cutting a third round pick like Walker. If they try to place Broussard on waivers, he'll be snapped up because of his speed. The most likely scenario is that Williams and Brousard stay and Sharon is sent to the practice squad since he has a better chance of clearing waivers. The problem is that Reggie doesn't play special teams and Sharon is a very good special teams player. I wouldn't count on anything yet.

 

[Cass Durham]

I just don't understand how they can sit their best WR - Reggie Williams... And the early talk about him being cut is just ridiculous. Nevertheless, there could be plenty of value found here once things shake out.

Once again, have you looked at that coaching staff recently? Del Rio gets worse every year. Last year's bonehead move of inserting Garrard, even though Leftwich said he could play, cost the team a playoff spot. I can only guess that Mike Tice was influential in the Garrabage decision. Enter Quinn Gray after they had enough of Garrabage but it was too late. Williams at the start and end of season was doing well. Leftwich or Gray got the ball to Williams. With Garrabage, you may as well not even dress a WR.Now, add in green as grass new OC and WR coaches with no NFL experience and you get total chaos that you see. Dennis Northcutt as a starter? He couldn't start for Cleveland without dropping passes. He will work his way to the bench as one of the worst FA pickups this offseason. Starters should be Wilford and Williams. In reality the best QB is Gray. Leftwich takes 10 minutes to wind up before he telegraphs his passes. Garrabage, enough said.

bump. still think one of these guys is going to have some value this year.

Good luck figuring out which one. In my local fantasy league(in Jacksonville, mostly hardcore Jags fans) Northcutt and Wilford(the "starters") are free agents, RW just got dropped, and Matt Jones is the only Jags WR even on a roster and he's like WR5 on that team. That's a fair indication of what the homers think at this point.

Wow, considering that's a local league, that says something to me unless it is a really small league.

That would be Wilford IMO.

If Reggie has a career year then kudos to JDR for breaking him down and building him back up. I did not see this coming at all, he was very convincing.

Any more information?

Reggie Williams has no value with Garrabage as the starting QB. For Williams to produce, Garrabage needs benched in favor of Gray. Look for that around the 4-6th week.

12 team redraft, starts 2 WRs and a flex. With Garrard starting and Byron gone there's not a lot of people that expect big passing stats to start with and what stats there are will likely be spread around.

The only way I can see that happening is injury.back to the original question, here's an interesting answer from Vic Ketchman:

Bill from Orange Park, FL: Do you think Dirk Koetter will have to customize or revamp the offense to suit David?Vic: Based on Garrard’s performance in the preseason, it would seem Koetter’s offense is a good fit for Garrard. I will, however, tell you that Garrard’s strengths lie in the short-passing game, not the deep-down-the-field vertical game. I think Garrard is great for finding the tight end in the seam, the back swinging out of the backfield and the wide receivers curling up. I had David pegged wrong for a long time. I thought of him as a deep-drop vertical guy when, in fact, he’s more of a West Coast nibbler.

Until you look at what Williams did with Leftwich at the start of last year and what he did with Gray at the end of the year. Then check out what he did with Garrabage. You should listen to me as I am always correct.
