Which Jacksonville Jaguars are on the rise after a big preseason win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
The Jacksonville Jaguars have some tough decisions to make when roster cuts comes around next week, but Saturday's 20-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers helped make clear which players are trending up or down.For all intents and purposes, Mac Jones came out of Saturday smelling like roses. It wasn't a perfect game, with Jones taking one bad sack and also missing a third-down throw to an open Elijah Cooks.
"Yeah, I mean, it's tough. It's tough when guys come in the middle of camp. But he's done a nice job just picking up the terminology, picking up the defense. He's getting meaningful game reps that are good for him," Pederson said on Monday. "We’ve just got to continue to evaluate how he does in individual drills, any team reps that he gets during the week. Then again, with this last game, probably looking like the second half potentially playing, and making the most of those reps. It's probably a challenge with a guy like that, probably 53, as you go. But practice squad is not out of the question. That’s what a lot of these guys are competing for. They're still competing for those spots.
“It's interesting because he continues to improve, continues to get better. I think as the game wore on, I think some fatigue took over a little bit, got tired a little bit towards the end," Pederson said on Monday. "He busts his tail and doesn't make many mistakes, honestly. If it is, sometimes it's just a brain lapse here or there. But he's improving and he's doing some good things.
