Jaguars Look to Contain Newton
This game on Sunday might come down to how well the Jaguars contain Carolina quarterback Cam Newton. The Panthers don’t have much of a passing attack so Carolina is going to look to run the ball with Jonathan Stewart and have Newton scramble around and make plays. “The main thing we need to do first is stop the run. They run the kind of offense that [makes defenses] need to be disciplined.” pocket," said pass rusher Chris Smith. “It's kind of like playing teams like Georgia Tech and Auburn in college. Everybody has to be disciplined and in others words, be one of 11, where all 11 guys do their jobs." The Jaguars have been practicing against players like Newton as they have Denard Robinson and cornerback Nick Marshall who were mobile quarterbacks in college.
Bortles Looking Great
The second season for Blake Bortles could be a really good one. He played great in the preseason and everyone says he is not making the same type of mistakes he made in his rookie season. Bortles has some weapons around him including rookie running back T.J. Yeldon, wide receiver Allen Robinson and new tight end Julius Thomas. The Jaguars should be vastly improved on offense this season with Bortles taking big leaps forward in his second season and with some new players around him.
