xPattonx Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Maurice Jones-Drew, RB JAC News: When the Jacksonville Jaguars break the huddle, Maurice Jones-Drew can be difficult to find. Not just because he's small. The Jaguars are lining up Jones-Drew all over the field, an effort to keep the 5-foot-7, 208-pound running back from taking so many punishing hits in his first season as the team's offensive centerpiece. The Jaguars want to ensure that Jones-Drew stays healthy all season, so they're trying to minimize the number of times he's tackled by mammoth defensive linemen and hard-hitting linebackers. Jones-Drew has lined up at running back, fullback, receiver and quarterback. He's been in the backfield, in the slot and out wide. He's gotten the ball on handoffs, pitches, screen passes, flair passes, bubble screens, quick slants and deep routes. He even threw a touchdown pass in the team's first scrimmage last weekend, so there's no telling what he'll do in Jacksonville's preseason opener Monday night at Miami. "I'm just trying to be ready to do whatever the coaches ask - play receiver, run the ball, block, return kicks," Jones-Drew said. "Whatever it is, I'm willing to do it." ....The more touches the better I own MJD on two teams.. If you are still struggling with were to rank MJD maybe this will help you out a little.
