The way the Houston Texans used -- and didn't use -- James Casey was an issue I struggled with in 2012. Gary Kubiak increasingly forced a round peg (a quality pass-catcher with great hands capable of being a matchup problem) into a square hole (a ful...

Matt Schaub rolls out a lot in the Houston Texans offense. He's mobile enough to do that, but hardly qualifies as a mobile quarterback. And unsurprisingly he's a proponent of the pocket passer concept. On the evolution of NFL quarterbacks and the ...

When the Jaguars' new quarterbacks coach, Frank Scelfo, recently talked of how Blaine Gabbert would rank in the 2013 draft, some shrugged it off as spin. But Mike Tanier of Sports on Earth considers the idea that Gabbert's age means he could actua...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Player after player fell back into a common NFL safety net following the Houston Texans' 41-28 loss to the New England Patriots. We've just got to make more plays, they said. It's a blanket, cliched and too-easy solution to...

The Jaguars have officially announced the hiring of David Caldwell as their GM. "We got our man," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in the team's news release. "I have a lot of faith in David Caldwell and I can assure our fans that the best days for th...

If the Tennessee Titans or the Jacksonville Jaguars want to move from their second-round pick into the back of the first round, they could look to trade for No. 28 from New England, No. 29 from Chicago or No. 32 from Green Bay. I think Jake Locker...

Who should the Jaguars take? You've heard my draft thoughts and seen my mock draft pick for the Jaguars. It's time for me to hear yours. It appears there are a couple positions of need that they won't be able to address here -- there is no s...

If the Tennessee Titans really like Jake Locker, like him in a way where they feel like he's the guy they have to have out of this draft, then they're going to have to take him at No. 8. Picking someone else and hoping to move back up from the 39t...

After reading Annabel Stephan's piece, I quickly set my DVR to make sure I'll be in position to watch, and potentially rewatch: It's a quarterback combine put together by the folks at Sports Science. I eat this stuff up and suspect you do too. The...

Could the Colts draft a quarterback and begin to groom a successor for Peyton Manning? Sure, it's possible. I'm not so sure it's probable. I'm not a big predictor, and I am certainly not a big draft predictor. But while many run with repo...

William Grooms from Hilton Head Island, S.C., writes: I am a Jaguars season ticket holder. And you're always fair to them. My question is, and I know we need a lot of help on defense. But if one of the top three QBS are available at 16, do you think ...

Reading the coverage ... Houston Texans Bob McNair says there will be no pay cuts or furloughs for the Texans for now, writes John McClain. Indianapolis Colts The team website reviews the middle linebackers. Are AFC South running backs...

Perhaps Missouri's Blaine Gabbert falls to No. 8 and the Titans are in love with him. Perhaps Washington's Jake Locker is attractive to the Jaguars at No. 16. Or perhaps the two AFC South teams shopping for a quarterback believe the gap between th...

The Titans, who draft eighth, and the Jaguars, who draft 16th, are among nearly a dozen teams I expect to address the quarterback position in the draft. Our teams may go in a different direction in the first round and take a second-tier quarterbac...

INDIANAPOLIS -- Many scouts and evaluators have indicated that Arkansas' Ryan Mallett is kind of a dividing line for the draft class of quarterbacks. I've talked to some who clearly have him behind Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert and Jake Locker, but a...
