After a terrific 2007 campaign, the Jacksonville Jaguars go into the ‘08 season, full of hope and even higher on expectation.
In a season that saw them make the AFC division game for the first time since ‘99 and the emergence of a star quarterback in David Garrard, the Jaguars are out to prove that they are no one hit wonder.
This season the Jaguars will be looking to turn from pretenders, to serious contenders in terms of making the playoffs and making a run at the super bowl.
While the Jaguars have steadily improved each year since Jack Del Rio took charge of the team in ‘03 they have yet to prove that they have the consistency to keep winning every single season.
They are out this year to prove that they're breakout season last year, is not just a one-time thing.
With most of they're team from last year intact there is no reason for Jaguar fans to expect anything less than what this team achieved last season.
The only significant losses are perhaps the loss of Marcus Stroud on defense and Ernest Wilford on offence.
These are not very significant, however as the Jags played a good deal of last year without Stroud, they signed free agent receiver, Jerry Porter, to bolster a very underrated receiving corps.
Anchoring the offence will be arguably the best one-two running in the NFL, in Fred Taylor, who's only gotten better with age and is a figure of consistency.
The ever explosive, Maurice Jones-Drew, can burn you on the ground and on the kick, returns.
With Rasheen Mathis and Terry Cousin in the secondary, the Jaguars could once again make life very miserable for opposing quarterbacks.

He's with the browns.... Plus Reggie Hayward is on the Hot seat. He's due to earn 3.5 mil this season and if he doesn't return to his pre-achilles form he'll be cut in favor of new blood.
