The Jacksonville Jaguars have underperformed to expectations. The Jaguars' smothering defense (ranked 2nd last

season in yards allowed per game) are good enough to win playoff games now--but the offense lacks focus and

consistency. The offense showed sparks in the running game last season, led by rookie sensastion Maurice-Jones Drew

(Elusive, Power Back); but the passing game, hampered by an injury to starter Byron Leftwich and poor receiver play,

lagged far behind. With a strong, returning defense, the Jaguars' time is now.

The Jaguars' strength is its defense, especially on the line with two Power Move D-Linemen Henderson and Stroud.

Cannon Arm QB Byron Leftwich remains the Jaguars starting quarterback; don't expect mobility with his 50 speed.

Consider mixing in the more nimble David Garrard as a change of pace. As mentioned earlier, the Jags' receiver squad is

average. Former first round picks Reggie Williams and Matt Jones (Spectacular Catch Receiver) haven't busted out. The

Jags added former Cleveland Brown Dennis Northcutt and drafted quick Mike Walker. Veteran Fred Taylor joins Maurice

Jones-Drew in a two-headed backfield. Also mix in Greg Jones (Power Back, Stiff Arm Ball Carrier) from the fullback

position.

The Jaguars have one of the best defenses in Madden 08. Marcus Stroud and John Henderson (both Power Move D-

Linemen) provide powerful inside pass rush and run stopping. Middle linebacker Mike Peterson (injured most of last

season) is a top-rated Smart Linebacker and Brick Wall Defender. Rashean Mathis (Shutdown Corner and Smart Corner)

is one of the highest rated cornerbacks in Madden 08.
