Touchdown Jaguars!

By: James Johnson/Phil Smith
  • Summary

  • James Johnson and Phil Smith from The Jaguars Wire (USA Today) bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.

  • Episode 103: Lions/Jaguars Week 11/BYE Week Analysis - Still No Coaching Change
    Nov 29 2024

    This week, our conversation takes a hard look at the Jaguar's recent struggles, including the blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. We're not shying away from the tough topics, questioning the leadership choices made by Shad Khan and the looming uncertainty around Doug Pederson and Trent Baalke’s future roles. From discussing the team's troubling fundamentals, like tackling and game planning, to the curious case of Khan’s luxurious yet seemingly disconnected yacht, the narrative around the Jaguars' leadership is anything but smooth sailing.

    Amidst these challenges, there’s a glimmer of hope as we celebrate Fred Taylor's Hall of Fame nomination. Reflecting on his career, we find moments of gratitude and humor, especially as Thanksgiving memories come into play. As we contemplate the Jaguars' draft position and their upcoming games against teams like the Jets and Raiders, we continue to hold out for brighter days with Trevor Lawrence leading the charge. It's a rollercoaster of emotions and opinions, and we’re here to ride it with you, sharing our perspectives and hoping for a turnaround in Jacksonville’s fortunes.
