Jacksonville Jaguars schedule analysis
Apr 19th
Mike Mularkey has a shot at a good start in his first season as coach of the Jaguars, with an opener at Minnesota and a Week 3 trip to Indianapolis sandwiched around a home game against defending division champ Houston.
Last year the Jaguars got a surprising three prime-time games, including two at home. This time they get the minimum of one, and it’s a Thursday night game that kills two birds with one stone for the NFL — Nov. 8 at EverBank Field against the Colts.
Lookouts win series-opener at Jacksonville
Apr 11th
J.T. Wise drove in a pair of runs and Allen Webster escaped trouble through six innings to lead Chattanooga to a 4-3 win over Jacksonville at the Baseball Grounds on Tuesday night.
Wise was the only Lookouts’ player with a multi-hit game, going 2-for-5 with a pair of singles. His two-run base knock in the second opened the scoring in a three-run inning that included an RBI-single from Kyle Russell.
Chad Henne signs with Jacksonville
Mar 14th
Looks like the Seattle Seahawks have one less quarterback to select from in free agency. Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union reports that Chad Henne has signed a two-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he’ll get a chance to compete with Blaine Gabbert for the starting quarterback job.
Henne was scheduled to visit Seattle today, although I have not confirmed with the team if he made the trip or not. The Seahawks still expect Matt Flynn to visit the team’s facility tomorrow.
