Jacksonville WR's (1 Viewer)

[Spiderman]

Jacksonville homers, what's going on with the WR position now that Jimmy Smith has moved on ?

Matt Jones, Ernest Wilford, Reggie Williams - who's looking good, who's going to be the primary WR or does it even matter on a team with a QB/team that doesn't throw for big yardage ?

Matt Jones is a freak, but does he have the experience to break out this season ?

Is Reggie Williams a bust ?

 

[Shermanator]

If their latest preseason game is an indication, MAtt Jones had 5 catches and a TD. Thats pretty good. I have to assume that and the fact he finished last year rather strong, he is the #1.

I know I'm going to take it on the chin from the Matt Jones Fan Club but he appears to be a poor mans Ed McCaffery. He looks slow out of the breaks and has build up speed. With that said he is better than Williams and Wilford.

 

[Banger]

M. Jones had 7 targets/4 catches 52 yards and a TD. He's clearly the #1.

I watched the game and they all looked really bad until the late 3rd quarter when TB's 2nd and 3rd string D was in. The ball looks as if it will be spread around pretty even between the three.

This is my biggest fear - that Leftwich will throw for 210 or so most games, and the ball will be spread out.

Reggie is fine. Bustwich is the problem.

So are we to assume that there will be 3 WR sets, or does the writer (or KFFL) have it wrong?

They have it wrong. Williams is listed behind Jones hereJagz Depth Chart

From the Blogger:

Del Rio issued his first official depth chart with three wide receivers - Matt Jones, Ernest Wilford and Reggie Williams - listed as starters, although the coach said that doesn't mean they all will start Sunday. Chad Owens was listed as the punt returner and Derrick Wimbush as the kickoff returner.

I think all 3 of the WR will rotate into and out of the game. The Jax air attack is not all that impressive. These 3 WRs however have talent and are very very tall. Jump balls in the red zone should be fun to watch. I don't expect any of them to jump over the 1,000 yard mark or have 80 catches. I do see them clocking in at 50-75 perhaps and it will spread amongst the 3 of them.

Matt Jones 50 rec, 750 yds, 7 Tds

Ernest Wilford 64 rec, 850 yds, 5 TDs

Reggie Williams 40 rec, 55 yds, 3 TDs

Something like that and maybe not in that order. Mostly WR3/4 material here at best right now.

Thanks - should have looked there in the first place.

are we assuming that RWill is going to become the Ron Dayne of receivers .. or has he already established himself af that

OOPS!550 but I am guessing you knew that Rig.

I know I'm going to take it on the chin from the Matt Jones Fan Club but he appears to be a poor mans Ed McCaffery. He looks slow out of the breaks and has build up speed. With that said he is better than Williams and Wilford.

McCaff was never known for speed - getting out of the blocks or otherwise. He WAS your "typical" lanky, great hands, can take one hell of a hit "white guy" WR. I dont know about Jones out of the blocks, but he isn't playing RB here. The guy has sick wheels (you cant go sub 4.4 in the 40 and be slow for more than a step or two out of the blocks), and a body that will lend itself to far more physical play / jump balls. Havent seen him much this year, but what I saw from last year (including some SICK reels from his Arkansas days) tells me that the guys raw ability alone is exceptional, even in the NFL. The fact that he did well last year and is progressing is a very good sign.I would say Jone has a very good shot at approaching 1000+ yards. Remember, that is only 66 yards a game.

 

[LHUCKS]

Matt Jones is going to be all-world...and is the clear #1.

 

[jerseys finest]

my thoughts on the jags WR's is that matt jones is going to be the #1 on the team, but i dont think he is going to break out until next year.. Jones is only in his second year as a WR and is going to struggle a bit with facing the starting CB on the opposing defense and the added coverage that is going to float his way.. The biggest beneficiary from this i think will be Wilford. He is going to be the #2 WR and with a more permanent role in the offense, facing single coverage, *should* be able to put up solid fantasy #3 wr numbers, borderline #2 numbers if the jags actually open up their passing game this year.

 

[Koya]

Sometimes, in situations like this, I work a little backward.

How many yards does Leftwich likely throw for? Some range in the upper twos to mid threes. So figure low threes to be conservative.

Well, SOMEone has to catch those yards and receptions. Jimmy Smith was a great WR for a long, long time - and his targets are totally up for grabs.

With a good first year, I would think that the best athlete will get the bulk, even if the #2 is not far behind - which seems quite possible.

That said, the reverse thinking - from the yards you know somehow, the offense will gain - in a way reminds me of targets. You know there will be a certain amount of "opportunity" for a player, and then you need to talent to make that opportunity into production.

Long story short - you have a certain number of targets, and you have one of the better athletes to come into the league in the last few years, who happened to have a solid first year.

Wilford may surprise, but there is a damn good chance that Matt Jones flourishes - just how much we get to see.

No one from the Jacksonville offense will flourish until they fix the offensive line . . .

as for Matt Jones, he still needs help in running his routes . . . he had an average preseason (at best) . . .
