Jones-Drew Pulls A Westbrook Against Jets

Jul 22, 2014 9:25 AM

Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew pulled a Brian Westbrook on Sunday against the Jets. In December 2007, Westbrook tackled himself close to the Dallas end zone with Philadelphia leading by four and two minutes remaining. The Cowboys had no timeouts, which allowed the Eagles to kill the clock. Jones-Drew pulled a similar move against the Jets, downing himself at close to the end zone. Jacksonville played it safe, taking three knees before kicking the game-winning field goal. Jacksonville beat New York 24-22.

Del Rio To Garrard: Stop Throwing The Ball

Jul 22, 2014 9:25 AM

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio doesn't want David Garrard checking out of running plays anymore. Garrard changed the team's play from a run to a pass a few times during the first half of Jacksonville's loss to Tennessee on Sunday. "We took that privilege away or that ability away and said, "Look, just hand it to him and let him run the ball,' " Del Rio told Jacksonville.com. "He [Jones-Drew] was getting 22 yards a carry. If we could have gotten him a few more carries, that would have been good for us. I like the times Maurice had the ball in his hands. I think he's an exciting player. We needed to have more times with the ball in our hands. Again, you can go back and second-guess things all the time. I don't think that's the way to go."
