Jags fall short against Miami
The Jaguar’s fell short in their second preseason game allowing the Miami Dolphins to take it 19-14.
"Not a very good effort. The Dolphins wanted to play a physical football game and they did and we didn’t. Clearly, not what we’re looking for," said Coach Jack Del Rio. "It was disappointing. Didn’t fit the run well. Didn’t tackle well. Didn’t get off blocks well. When we played our
regulars and they played theirs, they had a strong command of the game."
Through most of the game the Jags could not get their offense going. Quarterbacks David Garrard and Cleo Lemon led the Jaguars offense to a missed field goal attempt and a fumble at the one-yard line that resulted in a touchback. Third-string quarterback Todd Bouman finally got the Jags on the board to trim Miami's lead to 19-14.
The Dolphins got outstanding performances from both of their quarterbacks. Chad Pennington was five of six for 55 yards and Chad Henne played three quarters of the game and completed 17 of 26 passes for 133 yards.
The Jaguars now must prepare for Saturday's road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
