Preseason Game 3 vs Atlanta Falcons Aug 25th Falcons_DIGITAL | Page 77

A huge return in a big moment in game action will
look good on Greene’s resume as he vies for a
roster spot at receiver and returner. Can he do it
again this week, or will another receiver – Jaydon
Mickens or Shane Wynn, perhaps – fl ash enough
to take the lead as the primary punt returner? and Robinson knows he will face the best pass
rusher for each opponent this season. Pretty much
every time Robinson was up against it throughout
his career – college and pro – he has answered
the call and improved. It’s a must for this Jaguars
offense to run on all cylinders.
Players to watch tonight
With the starters expected to play a little deeper
into the game than the last two weeks, here are a
few Jaguars to keep an eye on against the Falcons: • #56 DE Dante Fowler Jr.: The fourth-year
defensive end missed last week while serving
a suspension for a violation of team rules and
conduct unbecoming of a Jaguars player. This
came after Fowler practiced only two days in
training camp after rehabbing a shoulder injury.
Can Fowler regain focus and perform at the high
level that the Jaguars saw down the stretch and in
the postseason last year? If so, the defense will be
that much better in 2018.
• #20 CB Jalen Ramsey: The third-year cornerback
is coming off a week away from the team while
serving a team-issued suspension for a violation of
team rules and conduct unbecoming of a Jaguars
player. He’s arguably the best player on the roster
and could be the best corner in the league… let’s
see how he responds after a week away. No
matter the noise in the media surrounding what
he says – even about Falcons quarterback Matt
Ryan – the guess here is Jalen will continue to be
Jalen on the fi eld – and that’s great news for the
Jaguars.
• #88 TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins: The free-agent
addition has fl ashed in training camp, but in the
Preseason Week 1 game against the New Orleans
Saints Seferian-Jenkins played just 14 snaps (13
offense, 1 special teams) without a reception.
He was held out of last week’s game against the
Vikings as a precaution. The Jaguars would love to
see his practice-fi eld chemistry with quarterback
Blake Bortles transfer to the game fi eld before
opening day. This could be the wrinkle in the
offense that the Jaguars have been searching for
over the past few seasons.
• #74 LT Cam Robinson: The second-year left
tackle is looking for marked improvement from
his rookie season. Pride of the Jaguars left tackle
Tony Boselli has mentioned Robinson’s technique
– footwork mainly – that Robinson continues
to work on. Last week, Vikings defensive end
Danielle Hunter recorded two tackles, a sack a
tackle for loss and a quarterback hit while lining
up mainly against Robinson on the offensive left,
• #90 DL Taven Bryan: The 2018 fi rst-round
draft pick has not seen the fi eld for a preseason
game while nursing a nagging abdominal issue.
He returned to the practice fi eld last week in
Minnesota, but still did not dress for the game.
When healthy, his size, strength and ability to soak
up information from veterans has made his game
fi t right in with the rest of the defensive line. Let’s
see it in a game against another offensive line.
