MJD had 6 for 14 yards today (I dont kow if he got hurt or what) and the one TD. Looks like Garrard and the passing game carried this one.

good game shad!

[El Scorcho]

8 carries for 56 yards for 'shad last time I checked.

9 for 53 yards. Averaged 5.9 and had a long of 14. Not bad, not bad.

Obviously MJ-D will get the bulk of the carries when healthy, but that looks like the type of performance which could lock up the backup RB role for Rashad.

[El Scorcho]

Nice 28yd TD run by Rashad today in the 1st quarter. Hope there's more to come.

[LUconn]

I'm excited to see the highlight.

very nice...thanks for the link ttl...its nice to see...I really think he could do very week in the nfl whenever given a chance to contribute as a starter

[SuperJon]

Just saw the highlight on tv.

We saw him make that exact run multiple times the last three years.

[LUconn]

Really good looking run. The best part about it was that he had to beat someone by himself and it wasn't 100% about the blocking. Nice stiff arm.

[SuperJon]

The stiff arm reminded me of VMI 07.

[Libertine]

I love the "Recommend" feature on that clip. I have no idea what it does but I just recommended it 51 times.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Just saw the replay. Great run by Shad. Woo hoo!

[Rooster Cogburn]

and I love how the dufases in the tv truck put up a graphic at the top saying it was Jones Drew's 11th TD.

[El Scorcho]

Boom.



Yes.

[jcmanson]

It was great seeing his celebration after the play. He was pumped.

[JMUDukes]

congrats, Jags are stacked at RB. too bad they let Taylor go otherwise it would have been one of the top combos in the league.

[TDDance234]

Any chance they trade him to the 'Skins?

Jones-Drew paying it forward

Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew will never forget the first day of his rookie mini-camp, walking into the locker room and not knowing what to expect from his new teammates. Jones-Drew couldn’t wait to meet veteran Fred Taylor, but he didn’t know how he would be received. His worries quickly dissipated when Taylor called Jones-Drew over to his locker and the two began a lasting relationship that continues to this day.


Jones-Drew vowed to do the same with this year’s seventh-round pick, Rashad Jennings. The two knew each other from sharing the same agent and worked out together in the offseason, which made the transition easier.


“Rashad’s been doing a good job,” Jones-Drew said. “It takes a little time to adjust to this league. My rookie year, I didn’t start playing until week 10. It takes a little time to adjust from college and he’s doing a great job now, so he’ll probably play more which is good.”


Jennings has served as the primary backup through eight games, totaling 97 yards on 20 carries. He scored his first NFL touchdown last Sunday against the Chiefs with a career-long 28-yard run in the first quarter.


“You’ve been asking about who the other back is and I think Rashad’s got some ability,” Del Rio said. “He had a real nice touchdown early in the game where you saw some of the talent we get to see all time in practice as he’s preparing to be our guy that has the ability to fill in when Maurice needs a blow.”


Jennings continues to learn from a fourth-year pro who leads the NFL with 11 touchdowns and has the most rushing yards by a Jaguars running back in team history through eight games.


“Maurice is a phenomenal talent,” Jennings said. “We’re going to feed him the football. He’s a great player. Everybody needs somebody to back somebody up. I’m just out there trying to fight every single day and earn the trust of the coaches and my teammates.”
