Now that the Super Bowl has been decided http://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Quincy-Williams-II-Jersey , it means the offseason talk is going to ramp up quickly for teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars. They’ve filled out their coaching staff, which included the hiring of offensive coordinator John DeFilippo. We can now start looking at the roster and trying to figure out what the team is going to have in 2019 and what they could be adding and what positions they’ll want to be adding to.You can read about the Jaguars salary cap situation right here for now, until the official numbers are released, that’s the best we’ll get.Next up, we will look at the wide receiver position.Players under contract in 2019:Marqise Lee: Lee missed all of the 2018 season with a torn ACL in the preseason on a bad hit to the knee. I don’t know how much Lee would have helped the Jaguars anemic offense, but he’d have certainly been a better option than Donte Moncrief. It will be interesting to see where Lee is at once camp rolls around.Dede Westbrook: Westbrook emerged through it all as a playmaker this year for the Jaguars. He did a nice job with yards after the catch on shorter passes and crossing routes, as well as shown himself to be a playmaker on special teams returning punts. I’d expect him to be a staple going forward.Keelan Cole: Cole’s 2018 season was disappointing Josh Oliver Jersey , to say the least. He will most certainly be back because he’s on a UDFA rookie contract and he definitely flashed his rookie season. I think Cole was a victim of being stuck in a role he’s not suited for. He’s more the downfield type of threat, the guy who will run the deep outs and deep post routes, but was stuck in a lot of short stuff because of the offenses issues and it’s why he had a lot of drops.DJ Chark: Chark will be an interesting player to watch in training camp because he has a lot of physical tools, but injuries plagued him down the stretch when he really need to get reps in. He’s been excellent on special teams, but that’s not why you draft him in the second round.CJ Board: Didn’t know he was on the team!Potential cap cuts:None.Potential free agent options:Golden Tate: If he hits the open market, Tate would make some sense for the Jaguars depending on what he will command contract-wise in a poor free agent class.John Brown: An under the radar guy who could fit in nicely with the Jaguars group.Adam Humpries: Had a breakout season last year after having some solid years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as their third receiver.Devin Funchess: I don’t know that he will hit free agency, but he’s someone that might be worth gambling on to break out.Tyrell Williams: A solid receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers will probably hit the market considering they’ll need to eventually pay Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota finds himself needing a strong performance on a short week to help erase a struggling performance in the Titans' home opener.The No. 2 overall pick in 2015 may be with his fourth offensive coordinator and fifthplay caller http://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Jawaan-Taylor-Jersey , but he too often looked indecisive. He held the ball too long in being sacked four times. He missed check-down options with receivers wide open. He got lucky a Colts defender couldn't catch an interception thrown to him.The costliest mistakes came in the fourth quarter of a 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota was sacked early, costing 7 yards before Cairo Santos missed a 45-yard field goal wide left.Then the quarterback being paid $20.9 million on the option of his rookie contract had the ball with 67 seconds left needing a field goal. Yet Mariota spiked the ball on third down with 15 seconds left, and he couldn't connect with rookie A.J. Brown on fourth down, sealing the loss."Looking back on it, should have had a different play instead of clocking it, and that's totally on me," Mariota said.Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that a lot of things go into negative plays on offense Josh Allen Jersey , which they will try to fix as quickly as possible. The Titans (1-1) visit Jacksonville on Thursday night, so Mariota and team have a quick opportunity to bounce back."I'm looking forward to the challenge, and we've got to get one back," Mariota said.WHAT'S WORKINGPass defense. The Titans, who ranked sixth against the pass in 2018, held the Colts to 121 net passing yards for the fewest yards allowed through the air since a loss in Buffalo last season. They gave up 79 net yards passing on Oct. 7, 2018 Tanner Lee Color Rush Jersey , to the Bills in another game they also lost.WHAT NEEDS HELPThe Titans have converted 3 of 20 on third downs on offense through two games; 13 have been at least 10 yards or longer."That's tough sledding," Vrabel said.Better production on first and second downs would give the Titans more options on third down. Yet Adam Humphries, their big free agent signee in March, has only three catches for 4 yards so far. He was signed to give them another slot option for underneath throws.STOCK UPDerrick Henry. The big question about the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner was whether the running back could start this season as he finished 2018, piling up 625 yards rushing in December for the best month by anyone in the NFL last season. He's doing that, ranked sixth in the NFL for most yards from scrimmage. He's also averaging 4.9 yards per carry with 165 yards rushing.STOCK DOWNMariota. There's a reason the Titans haven't signed him to a new deal yet, needing to see their quarterback take control of the offense. Mariota was a perfect 6 of 6 in the second half of the Titans' opening win in Cleveland http://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Gardner-Minshew-II-Jersey , with two TD passes in the fourth quarter. In the final 15 minutes against the Colts, Mariota was 4 of 10 for 32 yards.INJUREDRG Kevin Pamphile now has missed the first two games with an injured knee after winning the job. Center Ben Jones was added to the injury report hours before kickoff with an unspecified illness. Monday's injury report featured 11 Titans, including Mariota (quad), for a walk-through after the franchise's hottest game since 1999.KEY NUMBER8 — How many times Mariota already has been sacked through two games after being sacked a career-worst 42 times last season. He missed three starts due to injuries.NEXT STEPSHello Jacksonville? The Titans have won four straight and six of their last seven against the Jaguars, who will have rookie Gardner Minshew at quarterback.Follow Teresa M. Walker at www.twitter.com/teresamwalker
