One of the biggest storylines surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of the 2024 NFL season has been their offensive line play. You could make the case that their inability to block was one of the main reasons for their collapse last year, and it's fair to ask how much they've improved in that area. While the team's brass has yet to see all five starters on the field at the same time, they've gotten a good look at fourth-year pro Cole Van Lanen, who's making the most of his chances.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers (and Carolina Panthers) defensive tackle Gerald McCoy did some straight shootin’ this week. On the very first episode of their new podcast McCoy & Van Noy, the six-time Pro Bowl defender and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy talked about the preseason inactivity of a few NFC South quarterbacks. After taking on situation between the Atlanta Falcons and rookie Michael Penix Jr., McCoy turned his attention to the Panthers and Bryce Young—who has yet to play a snap of exhibition ball this summer.

AUBURN, Alabama–Coming off a freshman season when he improved from start to finish, defensive lineman Keldric Faulk heads into year number two at Auburn as one of the leaders on that side of the ball for the Tigers. Even though he's still just a pup and growing as a player every day, the 6-6, 288 Faulk has the body of an NFL player and is someone that coach Josh Aldridge is excited to see this fall.

Faulk looks to take the next step in Year 2

To the surprise of almost nobody, Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Graham Barton will begin the season as a starter. He was the No. 26 overall pick in the draft this year and the Bucs took him with every intention of starting him as soon as possible. Outside of Tristan Wirfs, Tampa Bay's offensive line has bene in shambles and Barton is expected to help change that right away.

There’s buzz about Mike McDaniel’s evolution in Miami, but it has nothing to do with football. 

The Dolphins head coach was sporting a different look when he met with the media before joint training camp practice with the Buccaneers in Tampa on Wednesday.  

McDaniel — who wore clear glasses and had his hair styled in a slicked over side part last season — donned tinted sunglasses and a shaggier hairdo.

During a Monday appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, quarterback Baker Mayfield explained how "the leadership in the locker room" helped the 2023 Tampa Bay Buccaneers earn a playoff berth and a home postseason win after they fell from 3-1 to 4-7. Unsurprisingly to those who have followed the Buccaneers over the past year, it turns out Mayfield was a big part of that leadership group. "He kept everybody positive, everybody loose," Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said about Mayfield while speaking with SiriusXM NFL Radio, as shared by the JoeBucsFan website. "And he fought his a-- off for every yard he threw for or rushed for. Everybody just...

Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson hasn’t played in a regular season game yet, but the first-round pick had a “Welcome to the NFL” moment on Wednesday. The Dolphins held a joint practice with the Buccaneers and Robinson got a chance to square off with All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs. Robinson said it is “crazy that I get to go up against” a player he’s watched from afar for several years and he was able to beat Wirfs for what would have been a sack on one of their reps.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to face the Atlanta Falcons in their preseason finale, aiming to build momentum before the regular season begins. While the game's outcome won't impact standings, it's crucial for players vying for a spot on the 53-man roster. Roster cuts are approaching on August 27, giving fringe players a last opportunity to secure their positions. The Jaguars' roster is taking shape, particularly at quarterback and running back, with key injuries impacting depth chart decisions.

When the 2024 season is over, the Miami Dolphins will have a good idea of what they need in the 2025 NFL Draft. We know that Chris Grier will not spend big money in free agency, as he has not only shifted from doing so but also has taken an internal approach to spending.
