"I thought maybe he was a half-step slower than he has been in practice," Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said of Blaine Gabbert. "Maybe it's the conditions or whatever. The first time with a crowd. He's got undeniable talent. But he just needs reps. He's been here a week." Florida Times-Union

Richard Murphy&39;s road to the NFL was rarely easy. The former Rayville standout running back lost both his parents before ever reaching LSU and at times didn&39;t know if he could play anymore. Once with the Tigers, injuries served as continual obstacles to his career in Baton Rouge. He still managed to reach the next level, though, signing with the Jacksonville Jaguarslast week.

"I&39;ve had different back-type issues before, nothing ever too severe, nothing ever to really keep me out of anything," Garrard said. "But just something always there aggravating me, always kind of nagging. I just don&39;t want to be one of those guys that when I&39;m done that&39;s walking all limped over and can&39;t stand up straight." Associated Press

The last word
"A lot of excitement in Jacksonville for football. We're certainly excited to be through the first week and a half of camp, and as we typically do like to end that first solid week with a scrimmage here in front of the fans. And nice to see so many people to come out here and show support."
