Taylor Sees the Field in Preseason Game 2
Fred Taylor was active and saw a little action in Saturday’s Jacksonville Jaguars game against the Miami Dolphins. Fred ended the game with 4 carries for 7 yards. All his carries were right up the center of the line, and on one of the plays he ran right into the back of one of the offensive linemen.
I was very surprised Jack Del Rio let him play for nearly an entire quarter. I would have only had him in there on 1 series. It’s just not worth the risk of injury. Fred was getting hand offs and running into the backfield looking for receptions.
I know it’s just preseason, but the Jaguars offense looked horrid. They couldn’t get anything going against a terrible Miami defense. I hope we can get it together by week 1 of the regular season. Taylor suggests that we’ll see some improvement by next week.
“The third one [preseason game] is always the one that simulates real-time stuff more than any other preseason game,” Taylor said. “I guarantee we’ll look better than we looked tonight. I promise you that.”
