Are you ready for some Denard?
A big heads-up to the MGoBoard on this, as in just about 10 minutes or so, the Jags take the field vs. Da Bears in NFL pre-season football. While I have no idea how much we'll see Denard Robinson and Chad Henne tonight in this exhibition tilt, it should be fun to watch those shoelaces flopping down the turf as Denard shows his stuff.
Last I checked, too, Chad has the nod at present as starting QB for Jacksonville ahead of the rookie Blake Bortles. I'd love to see both Denard and Chad have big games tonight to solidify their respective positions on a Jag team that really isn't picked to be anything better than mediocre this coming season.

Denard is blowing away their first and second string backs in terms of yards per carry, and it's not even really close. Hopefully he continues to have a chance.

Obviously I can look up the stats, but for those who watched...how was he?

"Running back Denard Robinson made a statement to be involved in the offense, rushing for a team-high 34 yards on six carries. … Running back Jordan Todman had a blitz pickup on Bostic, giving Henne an extra second to complete a pass to tight end Marcedes Lewis for a 20-yard gain. … Defensive end Tyson Alualu has recorded sacks in each preseason game."

Watched a little bit, seems like he'll be a 3rd down passing down back, and change of pace to Gearhard from traditional formations. Todman may be the mid-yardage 2nd / 3rd down back due to his apparent ability to pass protect better. Guess is Toby, Todman, and Denard make the team with Denard getting ST reps as well as probably 4-5 touches per game on offense.
