The Jacksonville Jaguars kick off their NFL picks preseason against the Miami Dolphins on August 17 and for the third straight year the Jaguars will utilize the strategy of another defensive coordinator. Mel Tucker is the defensive coordinator for the Jaguars this year, and according to head coach Jack Del Rio he will have a bigger hand in the defense.

David Garrard had a lackluster season last year and will be looking to return to his glory of 2007, but after losing all three receivers, including Reggie Williams, the Jaguars QB will need to find new receiver Torry Holt down field.

The objective last year for the Dolphins was to establish positive vibes and to build momentum for the 2008 regular season. That is not the case this year as backers will have expectations for their club.

How will the Fish handle being the hunted this season as opposed to being the surprise team of the year?
