JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (5-11)OPEN CAMP: July 28, Jacksonville, FloridaLAST YEAR: Made significant strides offensively, with QB Blake Bortles, WR Allen Hurns and WR Allen Robinson putting up big numbers in second seasons and looking like core pieces of franchises future. Ranked 14th in league in scoring -- teams best showing since 2007 -- despite giving up 51 sacks and struggling to run ball consistently. Nonetheless, finished below .500 for seventh time in last eight years. Defense was biggest issue; it ranked near bottom of league in nearly every category, prompting coach Gus Bradley to fire coordinator Bob Babich and promote assistant Todd Wash.IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: DT Malik Jackson, S Tashaun Gipson, RB Chris Ivory, OT Kelvin Beachum, CB Prince Amukamara, P Brad Nortman, rookie CB Jalen Ramsey, rookie LB Myles Jack.IMPORTANT LOSSES: C Stefan Wisnieewski, DE Chris Clemons.ddddddddddddCAMP NEEDS: After committing more than $120 million to defensive starters Jackson and Gipson in free agency and then drafting Ramsey and Jack, main priority is to jell on defense. Throw in return of highly touted DE Dante Fowler Jr. (knee), and Jaguars could have five or more new starters on that side of ball.EXPECTATIONS: Despite signs of progress, Jaguars havent improved much in win column. Owner Shad Khan has been patient during rebuild, which includes 12-36 record in Bradleys three seasons, and even gave coach a one-year contract extension in January. But Bradley probably needs to finish near .500 to stick around for 2017.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
