2010 Record: 8-8
Offense:
The lockout hurt the Jaguars, as Baline Gabbert wasn't able to get a lot of experience with their offense. That's actually ok I think in the long run, because I think it's better when these guys don't just get thrown in the fire. With Gabbert not starting that means Garrard will once again be the starter. Then again, Garrard has been fighting back problems, so I guess you never know. Whoever is behind center they are going to have a tough time. Jason Hill, and Mike Thomas are their best WRs, and that just isn't good for anyone. Sure Maurice Jones-Drew is pretty awesome, but I am starting to wonder when all these carries are going to start catching up with him.
Defense:
This was the 30th ranked defense in the NFL last year. They banked on Aaron Kampman being able to bounce back from a torn ACL last year. He had 4 sacks and then tore his ACL again, so they will once again be hoping he can bouce back. They did sign Matt Roth, who could be a nice player coming off the edge of the defense. Clint Session, and Paul Posluszny should give a linebacking core that let up the 3 most yards per carry in the NFL last year. Dawan Landry moves into the safety spot and he is an upgrade over anything they had.
Overall:
I have no idea how this team was 8-8 last year, but I'll give them credit they have improved, especially on defense. Problem is Jack Del Rio sucks, and this team overachieved last year.
2011 Record: 5-11
