Dave Caldwell will return next season.The futures of quarterback Blake Bortles and running back Leonard Fournette are far less certain.Team owner Shad Khan issued a statement after the season finale saying top executive Tom Coughlin has decided to retain Marrone and Caldwell http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-niles-paul-jersey , even though the team flopped to last place in the AFC South.The Jaguars fell to 5-11 with Sunday’s 20-3 loss to the Houston Texans, a year after finishing 10-6 and reaching the AFC championship game.“We get judged on wins and losses,” Marrone said. “Obviously, this year, I didn’t do a good job. Period. I’m never going to step away from that. I’m happy with the faith because I do believe I will get this right.”Khan gave Coughlin, Marrone and Caldwell one-year contract extensions after Jacksonville faltered in the title game and seemingly viewed this season’s slew of injuries — most of them on the offensive side of the ball — as a main culprit for the team’s failure.“I have the same trust in Tom, Dave and Doug as I did upon their introduction two years ago, and I do believe our best path forward for the moment is the one less disruptive and dramatic,” Khan said. “Stability should not be confused with satisfaction, however. I am far from content with the status quo and while it’s best to put 2018 behind us, I will not overlook how poorly we accounted for ourselves following a 3-1 start.“There were far too many long Sundays over the last three quarters of the season Josh Allen Jersey Color Rush , with today’s loss in Houston being the final example that cannot repeat itself in 2019,” he continued. “That’s my message to our football people and players, but also our sponsors and fans, both of whom were remarkable.”The Jaguars returned to Bortles as the starter after benching the quarterback following a loss to Buffalo on Nov. 25. But he did little to get Jacksonville’s offense going. He was 15 of 28 for 107 yards as the Jaguars managed only six first downs.Bortles compiled a 24-49 record as a starter in five seasons. The third overall pick in the 2014 draft is due to count $21 million against the salary cap, and the Jags can save $9.5 million by cutting him with a post-June 1 designation.Bortles was asked if he thought Sunday’s game would be his last for Jacksonville.“I don’t know,” he said. “If I did … I hope I’ll get an opportunity to come play again, but if not, I’ll figure it out and go play somewhere else. We’ll see what happens. I’ve got to wait until they let me know.”When asked how he wants to be remembered for his time in Jacksonville, he said: “Hopefully, not by this game.”Marrone said his team’s offensive struggles went far beyond Bortles.“My confidence level is not about Blake Bortles. It’s about what we have to do offensively,” Marrone said. “Right now Cheap Josh Allen Jersey , that confidence is low, judging by the numbers. I’d be a fool to say I have confidence in anything, from an offensive standpoint.”The Jaguars also could be done with Fournette, the fourth overall pick in the 2017 draft who missed eight games because of injuries and a suspension.Fournette, who was inactive because of foot and ankle injuries, was caught by TV cameras sitting on the bench during the game and chatting with running back T.J. Yeldon while the offense had the ball. They were clearly disengaged with teammates and coaches.Coughlin had strong words for both of them afterward.“I am disappointed in the behavior today from T.J. Yeldon and Leonard Fournette,” Coughlin said in a statement. “They were disrespectful, selfish and their behavior was unbecoming that of a professional football player.” The Jacksonville Jaguars are heading into the second half of their season and we’re grading both sides of the football for the second quarter of the season. This was a stretch of four games that for the most part was good enough to win two (maybe three) out of four games if not for disappointing showings by the offense. They slowed down the Kansas City Chiefs, got blown out by the Dallas Cowboys, and then put together performances against the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles that could should have been wins.We already graded the offense, now let’s grade the defense!Alfie Crow (@AlfieBCC)Even with all the offensive struggles Josh Allen Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , the Jaguars defensively have only allowed a team to score touchdowns in the first quarter twice all season, against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys. They’ve allowed a combined six points in the first quarter in the last two games, both of which the Jaguars lost. They’ve allowed a total of two touchdowns and five field goals on the season in the first quarter through eight games, so the notion that they offense is put in a hole as well doesn’t really hold up outside of two games.Grade: B+Ryan Day (@ryaneatscake)Let’s look at the four games on face value — the defense has played certainly well enough to win two of them, questionably well enough to win another, and was God awful in the last. I’ll call that an above average showing overall and enough to scrape by with a grade above a “C”.Grade: B-Jon Kirland (@BCBCouch)The good news is they’ve gotten back to turnovers and sacks vs. Philly, and the trade of Fowler was great value. The bad news is Barry Church is done, Jalen Ramsey is playing corner by himself because of injuries, and they traded one disappointing first-round Gator defensive end to end up getting more reps for another disasterous first-round Gator defensive end. The secondary is depleted and the line cant get pressure on 3rd downs like they did in ‘17, not a good combo.Grade: C+Ryan O’Bleness (@ryanobleness)The defense is in a weird spot for me, where the unit has been solid in terms of yardage and points allowed (No. 1 pass defense Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys Stitched , No. 2 total defense and No. 10 scoring defense), yet has somehow not come close to meeting expectations. But let’s face it, expectations for the defense weren’t really fair. The team just hasn’t made the necessary plays with turnovers and sacks that I was expecting. The Jaguars rank 24th in the league with just four interceptions, and also rank toward the bottom of the league in both fumbles forced and fumbles recovered. The seven total takeaways is tied with several other teams for 21st in the league. The Jags have also only recorded 19 sacks so far this season, which is tied for 18th in the league. Also, the rushing defense ranks toward the bottom of the NFL as well. The inept offense has put the defense in bad situations at times this year, but Jacksonville has had more challenges on defense than it should have this season. The unit may rank highly in certain categories, but hasn’t always passed the eye test. There have been struggles in zone defense and maintaining gap integrity, especially. Grade: C+Brian Fullford (@iambwf)While it is true the offense has done nothing to help the defense, to speak of the Jaguars defense now is to say they are “playing good enough to win”. That’s unfortunate. The failure to be elite is not a problem tied to the offense. One of their problems is getting off the field on third down. While forcing teams into 110 third down conversions (tied for fourth-best), they are yielding a first down 38.2 percent of the time. They are near the bottom of the league with seven takeaways. Yet they are only allowing 21.3 points per game. There are reasons to be concerned about the linebacker play Josh Allen Jersey 2019 , especially on passing downs, but it’s hard to tell whether this is a product of talent or coaching. I think it’s the latter, and that is why the grade is trending to a “C”.While we can get upset when the defense gives up a late second quarter touchdown to the Eagles, must they be perfect at all times?Grade: B-Filip Prus (@JaxonFil)The defense is not playing at the legendary level that they had the potential to be at prior to the season, but they are also not being put in positions to play fast and haven’t had the advantage of playing with a lead in the second quarter of the season. The cornerbacks have just now gone back to playing more press coverage, but the breakdowns in communication in zone coverage is unacceptable for a veteran unit that has all played together. The linebackers haven’t done a good job of filling gaps in run defense, and it looks like the entire unit is pressing to create turnovers to stay alive in games and therefore trying to do other players’ jobs. With that said, they still lead the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (190.0) and second in total yards per game (313.2). Sacks and turnovers come when the other team starts trailing and are in obvious passing situations, and that hasn’t happened thanks to the inefficacy of the offense.Grade: B
