Fred Taylor vs. the Buffalo Bills
The Jacksonville Jaguars have their home opener this week against the Buffalo Bills. Despite the Jaguars wretched offensive line, they are still favored in the game by 5 1/2 points. If the Jaguars want to win this game, they’ll need to run the ball. Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones Drew are the Jaguars offensive and keys to success.
Marcus Stroud will be returning to Jacksonville, but this time in a Bills uniform. No doubt he’ll be angry and looking to stuff everyone at the line of scrimmage. The Jags need to be ready for it. Fred Taylor needs to be ready for it.
The Jags just couldn’t get Fred (or anyone for that matter) going last week. That needs to change. We must establish the run early by going to the outside. Our O-line won’t be able to open big gaps up the middle.
With the state of the Jags offense, I wouldn’t expect much from Fred this week. I’m thinking 12 carries and 65 yards. I doubt he’ll score because this will be another low scoring game like 16-10 or something.
