Better than good, actually. It has been great, he said.
Bevell, hired as the Jaguars offensive coordinator in January, joined senior writer John Oehser on this week s O-Zone Podcast. The two discussed multiple topics – including developing an offense with influence not only from Head Coach Urban Meyer, but a talented and diverse offensive staff.

John: We signed a lot of good-to-serviceable free agents for depth, and we have a lot of draft picks. Do you see a lot of our draft picks on the practice squad or are the free-agent contracts written so that the veteran player can be cut if a rookie is playing better?

Tom not being derogatory, then why even bring up such a thing as a man s hair?
It s April 6 and Round 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft is 23 days away. It s going to be a long, long three weeks. And two days.

Injuries and depth are an issue every season and an additional game will just make that even more so. I have never understood why teams have to name five players to sit each game for instance.
Most NFL roster management rules are designed to ensure as much fairness as possible on game day. The rule that teams must make a certain number of players inactive each week, for instance, is designed to ensure that teams enter games with an equal number of healthy players as often as possible. If teams didn t have to deactivate seven players you could see many scenarios in which one team had 53 healthy players available with another team having just 46 or 47; because teams must deactivate seven players, it s far more common for both teams to have 46 healthy available players. As for your question, I do bel
