Re: Stroud ready to show up Jags....link
One game into the season, and it's not too early to say that the Jacksonville Jaguars may have made a mistake with defensive tackle Marcus Stroud.
They let him go to Buffalo, trading him for two draft picks after coach Jack Del Rio suggested that Stroud, who bowed out with a high-ankle sprain last season, might never again be 100 percent.
Well, this just in: He is 100 percent, and don't take it from me, Jacksonville. You can see for yourself Sunday when the Jags host Buffalo in what Stroud described as "just another game."
Yeah, sure. And "In-N-Out" is just another burger joint.
This could be the guy's own private Super Bowl, with Stroud given his chance to demonstrate to the Jags what he's already showing western New York -- namely, that he's back to where he should be and, yes, 100 percent.
Of course, he would never admit to that. He went out of his way Wednesday to say that he holds no grudges against Del Rio, is not out to make a statement Sunday and will not behave differently against the Jags than he would another opponent.
Then the truth serum kicked in.
"I just don't want it to seem like I'm stressing for one game," he said. Fair enough, but can you blame him if he were? I mean, this is someone who, at one time, was regarded as one of the top defensive tackles in the game. Then he got hurt, his play tailed off, he underwent ankle surgery, he was suspended for violating the league's steroids policy and he finished last season in the discard pile.
He was supposed to have peaked, but Buffalo didn't believe it. Smart thinking. Stroud was the defensive star of the Bills' training camp. He was the defensive star of their season-opening rout of Seattle. And he sure looks like a defensive star waiting to happen against Jacksonville.One set of rules for all in the beloved communityComment

Moran liked Reyes when we signed him? If that's the case it's interesting he liked him more than when we signed Walker...lolOriginally posted by justasportsfan

Who, Reyes? And he hated the Walker signing. I guess we should expect the opposite of whatever he says. :wink:Originally posted by justasportsfanComment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
