Thanks for all of your comments on WOKV.com. You can make this as interactive as you like. I'm going to respond to a few of the comments about the Jaguars and our coverage from time to time, so here we go.

Here's a comment from Aaron about my take on the Jaguars current state.

I'll post some thoughts later on the guys who need to play well on Thursday night for the Jaguars. There are some interesting roster battles that are coming right down to the wire.

But first, a look at some other publications.

Let me preface this by saying that the bar has been set much higher for the Jaguars this year. Being in the mix for a playoff spot isn't enough. This off-season, championship expectations developed and so it is against that backdrop that I say this.

The Jaguars don't strike me as a championship team.

The Jaguars have a short week as they get ready for the final preseason game of the year. They'll travel Wednesday to play on Thursday in Washington against the Redskins.

Here's what the Jaguars have to improve on before the season begins in less than two weeks:

Here are the facts:

• The Jaguars didn't play well at all on Saturday night.
• It was a preseason game.
• It didn't count for anything...and the Jaguars knew it.

For some reason, Jaguars fans have a real complex about how much national attention the team gets. Maybe its the product of being in a small market or maybe its the most overused cliche in sports that "you must give us respect."

Of course, my response has always been that everyone respects a champion. Win, and you'll get as much attention as you can handle.

It was quite a busy day for Matt Jones. Arraigned in the morning in Arkansas--where he pleaded not guilty to cocaine possession charges--then back to Jacksonville for practice in the evening with the team.

Jones didn't miss much. The morning session was a special teams practice only.

Matt Jones pleaded not guitly today on the cocaine possession charges in Arkansas. We expect him back at practice this evening. The big question now is: What happens next?

Jones has three authorities to hear from: the State of Arkansas, the NFL and the Jaguars.

I'll admit it. Sometimes during the long days of training camp, spending everyday on the practice field, I get a little bored. So, the other day, a few media types and I were discussing which Jaguars players would do the best on Jeopardy!

Clearly, Jeopardy! is the ultimate judge of intelligence.

Saturday, the Jaguars open the preseason against the Falcons. I believe that this year, even more than in the past, performance during the games will determine who starts and who makes the roster.

Here are some guys to watch on Saturday.
