Kosmetik » The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to have

to play a lot better if they are going to beat the New England Patriots in the rematch of the AFC title game next weekend.The opening weekend was ugly. Loads of penalties. Offensive struggles. A hamstring injury to leading rusher Leonard Fournette Jalen Ramsey Jersey , and a near meltdown by the vaunted defense after linebacker Myles Jack gave Jacksonville a 20-9 lead with a 32-yard interception return early in the fourth quarter.For now, the Jaguars will settle for a 20-15 season-opening victory over the Giants on Sunday that spoiled the New York debuts of coach Pat Shurmur and halfback Saquon Barkley and the return of star receiver Odell Beckham Jr.“We were talking about it in the locker room,” said quarterback Blake Bortles , who threw a short touchdown pass and helped Jacksonville take a 13-6 halftime lead. “You never really know how Week 1 is going to go. You have an idea. You know you’ve been going against a pretty good defense all camp and all preseason long. But to come out and find a way to win when you didn’t have your ‘A’ game as an offense, I think it’s pretty special.”More Jacksonville Jaguars newsJets’ Darnold throws 3 more picks in 29-15 loss at JaguarsRams get CB Jalen Ramsey from Jaguars for 3 draft picksBridgewater now 4-0 as starter after Saints top Jaguars 13-6Jaguars once elite defense struggles as Gardner Minshew, DJ Chark build chemistryLeonard Fournette runs for career-high as Jaguars mount comeback to beat BroncosThe Jaguars won because their defense, which scored seven touchdowns last season, carried them. It limited New York to three field goals and stopped a late drive after Beckham caught passes of 21 and 19 yards to help the Giants reach the Jacksonville 36.However, the Jaguars held, unlike in the AFC title game Womens Brandon Linder Jersey , when the Patriots scored the final 14 points to advance to the Super Bowl.If there was a negative, it was giving up a 68-yard touchdown run to Barkley less than a minute after Jack scored. The rookie finished with 106 yards on 18 carries.Still, the win gave Jacksonville a positive note ahead of a home matchup with New England, which beat the Houston Texans 27-20.Jack, who scored on a pass tipped by Abry Jones, is looking forward to it.“It’s definitely on my mind. As soon as that clock hit double zero, I was already thinking about New England,” he said. “I can’t wait for that game, and I’m looking forward to Jacksonville being out there.”Coming off a 3-13 season, the Giants refused to take solace in a good effort http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-niles-paul-jersey , not with a game at Dallas next weekend.“It’s disappointing when you lose,” Shurmur said. “The one good thing is our team fought from the front to the back. They fought all the way through the game. Unfortunately as is the case in a lot of these games that are close, we just didn’t make enough plays.”Here’s some things we learned in the Jaguars win:O-LINE WOESThe Giants offense line remains a work in progress. The revamped group needs to give Eli Manning (23 of 37 for 224) time to find his talented receivers and open holes for Barkley.Facing a tough pass defense, Manning spent most of the game hitting short passes. There wasn’t much time to look downfield.Ereck Flowers didn’t have a smooth transition going from left to right tackle. He was whistled for a tripping call and a hold on the opening drive. Left tackle Nate Solder also picked up a holding call.TOO MANY FLAGSThe Jaguars biggest problem was penalties. They were called 11 times for 119 yards.“We know that we can be better than that,” coach Doug Marrone said. “At the end of day, we were able to get the win. If you keep on that track, that stuff will bite you.”BECKHAM BACKStop worrying about the left ankle Beckham broke in October. In his first game in almost 11 months, the NFL’s top-paid receiver was the best player on the field. He caught 11 passes for 111 yards and drew two pass interference penalties late in the first half to set up a field goal.“Just being out there and competing with the best, I wish we would have gotten a win, but at the same time it’s a good starting point for our team http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-keelan-cole-jersey ,” Beckham said.INJURIESMarrone wasn’t concerned about Fournette, who finished with nine carries for 41. Backup T.J. Yeldin led the team with 14 carries for 51 yards and Bortles had four for 42. Jacksonville rushed for 137 yards.“He’s had it before, he knows how to treat it,” Marrone said of Fournette. “That makes things pretty optimistic, which normally I’m not that optimistic.”GIANTS NEW DEECoordinator James Bettcher’s 3-4 scheme limited the Jaguars to 305 yards, including 121 in the second half. Janoris Jenkins had an interception and the Jags tight ends and receivers combined for 12 catches, with only two plays being 20 or more yards. Jacksonville’s season opener will go down as the worst in franchise history.The Jaguars lost quarterback Nick Foles for at least two months because of a broken left collarbone. Their vaunted defense deviated from what it does best — man-to-man coverage — and got gashed for 491 yards as well as eight scores in the first nine possessions. Linebacker and team captain Myles Jack, who recently signed a four-year, $57 million extension, was ejected for throwing a punch and then had to be restrained before he was escorted off the field.Adding to the embarrassment of the 40-26 home loss to Kansas City : a small fire in a stadium fuse box caused a CBS production truck to lose power and forced the network to shift viewing audiences to different games for the final seven minutes.Many of those inside TIAA Bank Field had already tuned out — for the day and maybe for the entirety of Jacksonville’s now-seemingly ruined season.“That’s the game of football Corey Grant Jersey ,” Jaguars receiver Chris Conley said. “It’s ebb and flow and unexpected. We’ve got to roll with the punches. We’ve got to get better and we’ve got to learn from some of the mistakes that we’ve made.”WHAT’S WORKINGMaybe the team’s revamped offense.Foles tossed a 35-yard touchdown pass to DJ Chark before defensive lineman Chris Jones drove the quarterback to the ground, landed on him and broke his clavicle. And rookie Gardner Minshew threw for 275 yards and two scores off the bench. But both came in the fourth quarter, with the game out of reach, so it’s hard to really gauge the performance of the former Washington State starter.Leonard Fournette ran for 66 yards and averaged 5.1 yards a carry, and offensive tackles Jawaan Taylor and Will Richardson — both first-time starters — fared well against pass rushers Frank Clark and Alex Okafor.WHAT NEEDS HELPThe defense was a debacle. Sure, the unit might deserve a pass considering it was facing the most potent offense in the league. But there’s no excuse for tweaking the scheme and allowing Sammy Watkins to run mostly untouched for touchdowns of 68 and 49 yards.Kansas City did anything it wanted, whenever it wanted.“They are pretty damn good now,” coach Doug Marrone said. “They’ve done that to a lot of football teams.”STOCK UPChark caught four passes for a career-high 146 yards and a touchdown, showing the kind of big-play ability the Jaguars expected when they selected the LSU receiver in the second round of the 2018 draft.“I feel like it’s just the beginning,” Chark said.STOCK DOWNRight guard A.J. Cann Womens Marcell Dareus Jersey , a fifth-year starter, had one of his worst games against the Chiefs. He was flagged for holding on the team’s second drive and then beaten six snaps later, resulting in the hit that injured Foles. Cann signed a three-year, $15 million contract to stay in Jacksonville in March and now could end up on the bench once left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) returns, allowing Richardson to take Cann’s starting spot.“All I saw was two red jerseys in my face and I remember hitting the ground on the left side and feeling a crack,” Foles said.INJUREDFoles and rookie linebacker Quincy Williams, who reinjured his surgically repaired right knee and felt swelling after the game. Williams had arthroscopic surgery in August to repair torn meniscus.KEY NUMBER178 — the draft spot for Minshew, a sixth-rounder who takes over the starting job for the foreseeable future.NEXT STEPSFoles had surgery Monday and was placed on injured reserve/designated for return. Jacksonville also acquired third-year quarterback Josh Dobbs from Pittsburgh to serve as Minshew’s backup. Minshew will get all the first-team reps in practice as they prepare to play at Houston on Sunday.
