Smolko was not on the team&39;s radar to be on the practice squad. Del Rio gave him gameball after game in the lockerroom.

Del Rio mentioned to the team last night about former Jag Isaac Smolko who made an impression in final preseason game in 2007.

Hi, everybody, and welcome to my office, where I&39;m beginning this evening&39;s blog of the Falcons-Jaguars preseason game. I had nothing else to do, so why not get a head start, huh?

Spent some time with Joe Zelenka on the field. He is excited to be back in Jax. Said team has tough road trip to start season, at Pitt.

Ernest Wilford, Luke McCown and Montell Owens will also start.

JAGUARSINSIDER
6:01 PM

Plenty of starters out for both teams tonight. Reggie Nelson and Derek Cox are only regular defensive starters in the lineup.

EverBank Field looks good. The view out the south end zone has always been a favorite of mine. The press box glass is my window to the world.

The crowd is going to be very sparse. It won&39;t be sparse next week.

Vic Ketchman
7:35 PM

Vic Ketchman
7:38 PM

The Falcons start at their 17.

Vic Ketchman
7:38 PM

Vic Ketchman
7:40 PM

Jason Snelling bursts over right tackle for 13 yards. It&39;s third and one.

Vic Ketchman
7:41 PM

Vic Ketchman
7:44 PM

Montell Owens gets clobbered as he gets the ball on second down. Let&39;s remember that Vince Manuwai and Justin Smiley are playing for a roster spot.

Vic Ketchman
7:45 PM

Vic Ketchman
7:46 PM

Poor punt by Adam Podlesh. He&39;s been great all preseason, so he can be forgiven, but not next week.

Vic Ketchman
7:47 PM

Vic Ketchman
7:49 PM

An end around gains a first down. Smitty&39;s got a real sharp coordinator in Mike Mularkey. Nobody gets more out of his personnel.

Vic Ketchman
7:50 PM

There&39;s a nice, open-field tackle by linebacker Rod Wilson. He&39;s fighting for a roster spot and he did well with that play.

Vic Ketchman
7:52 PM

Vic Ketchman
7:53 PM

Scotty McGee fair catches. He&39;s been a trusted catcher this preseason. There was a time in OTAs that his trustworthiness at catching punts was questioned.

Vic Ketchman
7:54 PM

Vic Ketchman
7:55 PM

It would be nice to see the Jags rush for a gain.

Vic Ketchman
7:56 PM

Three and out. Field position is deteriorating. Hey, it&39;s not Luke McCown&39;s fault.

Vic Ketchman
7:57 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:00 PM

Redman looks good. He throws for a first down. Scott Starks was in coverage.

Vic Ketchman
8:01 PM

A flag will nullify the touchdown run. It&39;ll likely be block in the back. No, it&39;s holding on a wide receiver.

Vic Ketchman
8:02 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:03 PM

Troy Bergeron dropped a perfectly thrown touchdown pass. Michael Coe was beat.

Vic Ketchman
8:03 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:04 PM

Bergeron catches this one for a first down. Redman threaded the needle. He really looks good.

Vic Ketchman
8:05 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:06 PM

The Falcons will have a fourth and two at the Jaguars 13 on the first play of the second half. They&39;ll likely kick a field goal.

Vic Ketchman
8:09 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:10 PM

They have a 19-6 advantage in plays and a 116-9 lead in yards.

Vic Ketchman
8:11 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:13 PM

They finally gained a yard rushing. Brock Bolen did it.

Vic Ketchman
8:13 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:15 PM

Not a good deep ball by McCown. He threw it too far outside.

Vic Ketchman
8:19 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:21 PM

McGee is a courageous and daring return man. I think the Jaguars were wise in selecting him in the sixth round.

Vic Ketchman
8:23 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:24 PM

Three and out. David Garrard isn&39;t going to feel any fan heat on the heels of this performance.

Vic Ketchman
8:27 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:28 PM

Kackert turns right end for a nice gain and a first down.

Vic Ketchman
8:29 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:30 PM

Touchdown! Ladies and gentlemen, with that run Bolen may have just made the roster. It was 16 yards and it was impressive. You don&39;t cut that run.

Vic Ketchman
8:33 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:34 PM

A long completion is going to be nullified by offensive pass interference. Yep.

Vic Ketchman
8:37 PM

Larry Hart was in his face.

Vic Ketchman
8:39 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:41 PM

The Jags have the ball on the exchange at their 47.

Vic Ketchman
8:41 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:42 PM

Underwood got open deep again. It may have gone through his hands but it would&39;ve been a tough catch.

Vic Ketchman
8:44 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:45 PM

Greg Jones is in the game at fullback.

Vic Ketchman
8:47 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:48 PM

Scobee is good from 40. He&39;s perfect for the preseason.

Vic Ketchman
8:49 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:51 PM

Redman throws for a first down.

Vic Ketchman
8:51 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:54 PM

I like what I&39;m seeing in Hart. Redman throws over the middle for a sizable gain into Jax territory.

Vic Ketchman
8:55 PM

Vic Ketchman
8:56 PM

Sean Considine with a big hit on a pass over the middle. It&39;s fourth down. The Falcons will kick.

Vic Ketchman
8:59 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:14 PM

Trevor Harris is at QB for the Jags.

Vic Ketchman
9:15 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:16 PM

The Falcons take possession at their 35.

Vic Ketchman
9:17 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:19 PM

I&39;ll say this about Walter Curry, he&39;s going to fight to the end.

Vic Ketchman
9:21 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:24 PM

Harris throws to John Matthews for eight. No matter what happens to Matthews, he&39;ll never forget his two moments in the sun.

Vic Ketchman
9:25 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:28 PM

The Falcons have to punt. I may start singing.

Vic Ketchman
9:29 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:36 PM

On third and five, Harris throws incomplete. He was blitzed.

Vic Ketchman
9:37 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:41 PM

Wilson completes a pass for a first down. This game is getting very long.

Vic Ketchman
9:43 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:44 PM

Nelson and Considine are the safeties. Clearly, they are still all being intensely evaluated.

Vic Ketchman
9:45 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:46 PM

One more quarter left in the preseason.

Vic Ketchman
9:49 PM

Wilson makes a nice throw to the nine-yard line.

Vic Ketchman
9:51 PM

Considine knocks the pass away. Considine has had a strong game. He may have had the best game among the safeties.

Vic Ketchman
9:52 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:55 PM

Walter got a personal foul. He&39;s a fighter, but I don&39;t think that&39;s doing him any good now.

Vic Ketchman
9:57 PM

Vic Ketchman
9:58 PM

What a lovely throw by Harris over the middle to Jarett Dillard for 22 yards. Harris is a player.

Vic Ketchman
9:59 PM

He&39;s really in control of the action right now. He looked downfield, pulled his arm down and then dumped it to the back for a first down.

Vic Ketchman
10:00 PM

Vic Ketchman
10:01 PM

The ball is at the three. Harris might have just made the practice squad and Potter might have just made the roster.

Vic Ketchman
10:02 PM

Vic Ketchman
10:03 PM

On fourth and goal, Harris is sacked.

Vic Ketchman
10:07 PM

Vic Ketchman
10:08 PM

The Falcons have a first down at their 36.

Vic Ketchman
10:08 PM

Vic Ketchman
10:09 PM

Alexander breaks up a pass on third and four. That&39;ll help him. The Falcons will punt and so will I. See ya.
