The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without starting running back

Leonard Fournette for tomorrow’s game against the Indianapolis Colts because of a fight in the second half with Buffalo Bills..."The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without starting running back Leonard Fournette for tomorrow’s game against the Indianapolis Colts because of a fight in the second half with Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson and deservedly so — Fournette ran in from the opposite sideline and immediately squared up on two Bills players pushing and shoving fellow running back Carlos Hyde.And former Jaguars great Jimmy Smith isn’t happy about it... or much else going on with the team this year.Smith was a guest on 1010XL’s “XL Primetime” radio show to discuss the Fournette suspension and other issues surrounding the team last week and Smith did not hold back http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-norwell-jersey , saying Fournette wasn’t thinking of the team when he ran onto the sidelines.“It goes to maturity and this is not the first-time that he has been suspended,” Smith said. “It seems like these guys get suspended pretty often for knucklehead things. He’s got to think team first and in that game, he wasn’t even on the field, he was on the sideline ... I understand him trying to protect his teammates, but in reality, you didn’t protect your teammates, or your team. He had to be on the field. If he wants to pick a fight, pick a fight with himself and remain on the field and finish the ballgame.”Smith even went so far as to say that the Jaguars would not have lost last week had Fournette stayed in the game.“If he played in that second-half we would have won the ballgame. I know there is a lot of frustration and guys want to take it out on each other and on their opponents, but you just have to play football Womens Abry Jones Jersey , show great leadership, and love your team.”The former All-Pro wide receiver also gave his opinions on Jalen Ramsey, arguably the best player on the team, saying the star cornerback’s trash talking has put a target on the team’s back.“We took care of business on the field and left all the trash talking alone. We did a little trash talking inside the game, but there was no bulletin board material or any of that stuff. Just play the game. You get paid to go out and play the game. You don’t get paid to trash talk ... You look at Jalen Ramsey’s trash talk and where it’s gotten him and the whole defense. Team’s gear up for you when you trash talk. They go out to prove a point and Buffalo was a prime example.”“I don’t remember ever in franchise history having as many issues as we have had just this one season with suspensions and trash-talking. Loud teams in the NFL aren’t the ones that are winning, the quiet teams are the one that are and when I reflect back to our glory days, we were a quiet team.”Lastly, Smith discussed the firing of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, saying he was surprised it didn’t happen sooner in the season.“I thought it would have happened a few weeks earlier while the team still had some time to give it a shot. You have to shake some things up when things are not going well and I’m surprised that he stayed employed that long ... Now Lerentee McCray Jersey , I think that it is more than Nate Hackett that is the problem, or it may have not been Nate Hackett at all, we will find that out.”Read all of the transcript from the interview at 1010XL’s website here. The popular pick to win the AFC South all offseason has been Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. The ever-changing diagnosis for his strained left calf and ankle is dredging up bad memories of 2017, when his recovery from shoulder surgery kept him out all season.And dampened the soaring expectations for a team coming off its first playoff berth in four seasons.Colts general manager Chris Ballard insists this is not 2017 all over again."When I came in the door, one of the things we talked about was building a team and it wasn't all going to be about one guy," Ballard said. "I understand the importance of Andrew Luck. Look, he's a top-five quarterback in the league, but we have another guy we like. So we'll treat it and we'll move forward and we'll deal with whatever we have to deal with going forward."Ballard has backup Jacoby Brissett and bulked up his roster. But Luck is the four-time Pro Bowler and 2018 Comeback Player of the Year who makes Indianapolis a top bet not only in the AFC South but to win the conference. Questions over whether Luck will be ready Sept. 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers opens the door wide open in the only division in the NFL featuring three teams with winning records in 2018.Defending AFC South champ Houston has Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins along with J.J. Watt back healthy and in his prime. The Titans lost their playoff spot to the Colts in the regular-season finale with Marcus Mariota out, and they protected themselves by upgrading their backup spot. Even Jacksonville has high hopes with Nick Foles now at quarterback; the Jags are coming off a miserable 5-11 season after playing in the AFC championship game in 2017.Some things to know about the AFC South:HIGH EXPECTATIONSBallard does have a much stronger supporting cast than in 2017. Even if Luck isn't ready immediately http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-keelan-cole-jersey , the Colts can lean on second-year coach Frank Reich and an improved Brissett, who started the final 15 games in 2017. All-Pro guard Quenton Nelso n solidified an offensive line that allowed the NFL's fewest sacks (18) . The Colts have two Pro Bowl tight ends in Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle , a Pro Bowl receiver in T.Y. Hilton, and running back Marlon Mack, who nearly cracked the 1,000-yard mark despite missing four games. All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard led the league in tackles as a rookie, and a secondary that has long been a weakness now appears to be a strength. Both Nelson and Leonard achieved such status as rookies.DEFENDING CHAMPSThe Texans are without a general manager while coach Bill O'Brien works to improve an 11-6 record and find a way to win in the postseason after Indianapolis beat Houston on its own field. The Texans still are trying to figure out the best offensive line to protect Watson after giving up the most sacks in the NFL (62). They're leaning on left tackle Matt Kalil, who sat out 2018 recovering from a knee injury, hope right tackle Seantrel Henderson has recovered from his broken ankle in the 2018 opener Corey Grant Jersey , and have high hopes for versatile lineman Tytus Howard — their first-round draft pick.Hopkins is coming off a career-best 1,572 yards receiving, second best in the NFL. Watt often looked like a three-time Defensive Player of the Year last season, but the Texans are still waiting to see when defensive end Jadeveon Clowney shows up to work under his franchise tag. The Texans also revamped half their starting secondary after losing safety Tyrann Mathieuand Kareem Jackson to free agency.TITANS' TIMETennessee has surrounded Mariota with the most offensive talent he has had since being drafted No. 2 overall in 2015, but the Titans are letting him earn a contract extension after missing three starts in 2018. With three straight 9-7 seasons, the Titans are tied for fifth best in the NFL in that stretch, but with only one playoff berth to show for it . They want much more after signing wide receiver Adam Humphries and left guard Rodger Saffold in free agency and drafting receiver A.J. Brown.Mariota is among at least 14 Titans , including seven starters, in the final year of their deals. They also have coordinator Dean Pees back for a second season with a unit that was the NFL's third-stingiest scoring defense.FOLES TO RESCUEThe Jaguars believe signing the MVP of the 2018 Super Bowl is the key to fixing a team that finished last in the AFC South for the second time in three years — most recently just months after playing for the AFC championship. They gave Foles a four-year Womens Calais Campbell Jersey , $88 million contract with $50.125 million guaranteed and paired him with former Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo as his coordinator. If they get the quarterback who won four playoff games for Philadelphia over the past two seasons, that could be enough to revive the Jaguars with their strong defense.They also need running back Leonard Fournette to return to form in a make-or-break season, and left tackle Cam Robinson to heal up quickly after starting camp on the physically unable to perform list.PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISHColts, Titans, Texans, Jaguars.AP Sports Writer Michael Marot contributed to this report.Follow Teresa M.
