hope springs eternal
Yesssssssssssssssss!
It's time for NFL football training camp to start. It's time for optimism to flow freely. All the rookies are being signed. Fans everywhere read between the lines of every cautious comment made by a coach or player, selectively hearing the part that makes their team a Super Bowl contender. I know. I'm one of them.
Camp starts this weekend for the Jaguars, and only one rookie remains to be signed, and everyone seems to think that'll happen in the next day or two. Everyone else is under contract. The huge question is our running back, who had knee surgery in the off season. He's still not 100%, but says he will be at the start of the season. The coaches are saying the same thing. The fans are restless. The pessimists are screaming, "Get a better backup!" The optimists are saying Fred Taylor will be just fine, and we have good back ups. Only time will tell.
For now though, everyone is waiting to see if the hoped for improvements are there, and expecting them to be.
Byron Leftwich will be an improved quarterback and hit every receiver he throws to.
Matt Jones will prove all the experts wrong, who said he wasn't first round draft material and the Jaguars foolishly gambled on him.
Fred Taylor will run for a gazillion yards.
The defense, which was the strong suit last year, will be even more stifling.
And we're gong 16-0...just like every other team out there.
