An opportunistic defense that intercepted Cowboys quarterback Jon Kitna four times, and spectacular play from David Garrard, led the Jaguars to victory in Cowboys stadium Sunday. The game’s final score, 35-17, isn’t indicative of the game played on the field. By all accounts, the Jaguars blew out the Cowboys. They dominated in nearly every aspect. At 4-4, the team heads into its bye looking... 

JACKSONVILLE — The matchup was supposed to be David Garrard vs. Tony Romo — a battle few predicted Garrard would win despite the Cowboy’s meager 1-5 record. However, a curse for Romo and the Cowboys is likely a blessing for the Jaguars. The much-maligned pass defense will instead face off against journeyman veteran Jon Kitna, who turned 38 years old last month and hasn’t started... 

JACKSONVILLE–According to Jaguars.com Senior Editor Vic Ketchman, Derrick Harvey has been benched and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Jeremy Mincey. The announcement marks the end of a nearly three year experiment. Obviously, things weren’t working out. Harvey, despite showing improvement in training camp, hasn’t registered his name on the final stat sheet in three of the... 

GAINESVILLE–The Jaguars prospects of entering the bye week with a 4-4 record just got a little brighter. Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys’ starting quarterback, was knocked out of the Monday night game against the Giants. Romo has a broken left clavicle (shoulder injury). The anticipated recovery time is 8 to 10 weeks. Thirty-eight year old Jon Kitna should start in his place. Until entering... 

JACKSONVILLE—Not even the most optimistic Jaguars fans expected the team to pull off a win in noisy Arrowhead Stadium without their starting quarterback. It’s not necessarily because Garrard is a superior player; it’s because Todd Bouman, who would start for the Jaguars, was riding a tractor last week and brushing up his skills by throwing passes to high-school kids in Minnesota. Not... 

JACKSONVILLE–Gene Smith continued the trend of following up bad losses by making drastic roster moves. Recently reacquired FS Gerald Alexander, who has started the last two games for the Jaguars, has been cut again. The surprising move leaves Jacksonville without Anthony Smith (traded to Green Bay before the Titans game) and Alexander, who were widely considered to be the best players at the... 

Jacksonville mayor John Peyton declared Monday in Jacksonville “Teal Monday.” Some area businesses closed; Tony Boselli led a campaign to ensure the game was seen on local television; to ensure that Jacksonville’s lone appearance this season on primetime television showed a packed house and a supportive fan base. But it was all for naught. Many fans watching the game on television... 

Just two days prior to the NFL’s Tuesday trade deadline, the Jaguars traded starting SS Anthony Smith to the Green Bay Packers for a 7th round draft pick, according to AP sports writer Mark Long and Adam Schefter. Oddly, Smith was previously on the Packers roster; he was waived prior to the 2009 season. The Jaguars signed him from the waiver wire. Smith was scheduled to start Monday night against...
