David Garrard

The difference will be at the quarterback position. Between Alex Smith and David Garrard, the quarterback that makes the least mistakes will walk away with the win. To me, that means a Jaguars victory as Alex Smith hasn’t shown he’s dependable at all. Keep an eye on these Jags; they’re right in line for a wildcard slot.

Jacksonville Jaguars 37
(0-4) Tennessee Titans 17 

Um, what teams were on this field? David Garrard threw like the QB that earned his massive contract and Mike Sims-Walker is turning out to be the Jaguars’ best receiver. In Tennessee, things are a mess. Their defense is crumbling after the loss of Albert Haynesworth. If they lose to Indianapolis next week (and they should) and fall to 0-5, look for Vince Young to take over for Kerry Collins. Even if its not Collins’ fault, the team needs a spark.

Nickel corner Danieal Manning intercepted David Garrard at the 47-yard line and brought it all the way back to the Jacksonville five. Two plays later Kyle Orton found Desmond Clark in the end zone to give Chicago a 7-0 lead. Chicago would go on to score 13 more in the first half, thanks to two Robbie Gould field goals and a stretching Greg Olsen touchdown. The score was 20-3 at halftime so it was all but over for the offensively-challenged Jaguars. Devin Hester had another sound performance at wide receiver, pulling in a 31 yard reception, as well as a punt return for 22 yards to the Jacksonville 22 that set up one of the first half field goals. Conversely, he also fumbled twice on punt returns, which is unacceptable whether he recovered them or not. Kyle Orton threw an interception early in the third quarter, but the Jags couldn’t capitalize, keeping the victory intact. Matt Forte only rushed for 69 yards on 21 carries, but he also caught five passes for 37 yards as he passed Gale Sayers for most scrimmage yards by a rookie in Bears history. So even on a quiet day, Forte made a loud statement. Still, even amidst a solid outing, the Bears had their troubles. They only converted on 5 of 15 third downs, a growing concern for Ron Turner and the offensive staff. The second half was an offensive dry spell, as the Bears had one interception, one field goal, and four punts. They won’t defeat playoff opponents if they can’t keep drives alive late in games.

illiams, who I personally love, and Dennis Northcutt, who emerged last year as a huge target for QB David Garrard. Its an impressive Wide Receiver group and I think its going to do a lot of good for this team. This offense will be better then it already was and that is worth watching. Mercedes Lewis will line up at tight end and although I don’t feel that he is an elite tight end, he can make plays and will help out Garrard immensely. I would talk about Matt Jones, but with the recent news of his trouble with Cocaine, I will not get into Jones. We will just have to wait and see how that turns out.

Go Green Bay Packers! I have to admit, Brett Favre has made a believer out of me. How can you not be intoxicated by his enthusiasm and love for the sport? I could only hope to emulate a tenth of his work ethic.
