Bronco Billy Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Are MJD owners starting to sweat a little bit on this guy? How early should he go in a redraft this year? ******************* Jaguars.com Ideally, the Jaguars won’t be as dependent on Jones-Drew this season. It’s likely Rashad Jennings will get more carries during the course of the season, with the idea to take some of the load off Jones-Drew, who will be in his sixth year and who has carried a big load in recent season. But while it would be ideal for the Jaguars to move efficiently and win without Jones-Drew at his best that won’t mean they don’t need him healthy. And it won’t mean the status of his knee won’t be a huge issue when training camp begins. ******************* jacksonville.com "I can still carry the load regardless of what surgery I had or whatnot," Jones-Drew said. "They're going to be kind of anxious to throw Rashad [Jennings] in, and they're already kind of scared of my knee. ... I want to be able to be out the gates playing because it's a production-based business. They're already skeptical maybe it's his knee, maybe we're working him too hard, we should give him a break." Jones-Drew tore his meniscus before the 2010 season and played the season's first 14 games with the injury, carrying the ball 299 times and rushing for 1,324 yards. Noted orthopedist James Andrews repaired the knee through an arthroscopic procedure in January, the week after the season ended. ********************** ESPN Williamson: “[Maurice Jones-Drew’s] career to date has been impeccable. I am very high on him, but I do fear that we are seeing the very first stages of his inevitable demise. Running backs don't last long in this league. .... He calls Jones-Drew an old 26 and sees Rashad Jennings as one of the most underrated backups in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
