HOT : Jaguars vs. Eagles "Eye Test"

While the scoreboard tonight is irrelevant, I will be paying attention to the game like other Jaguars fans and followers. 
I say followers because of the fact that only about 40k people have season tickets.  THOSE people are the fans.  People that cancelled their lawn service, lowered their cell phone minutes, and reduced their channels on their Comcast subscription so that they can attend the games in person and enjoy the NFL gameday experience.
So tonight, we all will see the 'game', or scrimmage, together.  What are you looking for tonight?  Post 1 or 2 things you're looking for.  And please, leave the silliness out.  I don't want any "I want us to play bad because I want us to draft Tebow".  The Jaguars can make the playoffs and still get Tebow. 
He'll be available at pick 24.  Tight Ends rarely go higher than that.
So here's what I'm looking for tonight:
1) Eugene Monroe: page 1 of 'the book' on Monroe for opponents to use might have been written last week.  He was bull rushed and dominated, and possibly exposed.  He has great hands if you try to rush around him...but Tampa DE's rushed right over and on top of him.  Let's hope this is an anomoly. 
2)  Brian Williams: Unless Williams is trying to market himself more by putting his name out in the public, I'm getting tired of seeing the back of his jersey.  'B-dub' is getting 'B-urnt' too much.  Del Rio's biggest mistake might become the fact that even after the bad year Williams had last year, to stick with him. 
3) PUNTER: Like Williams, I hope the Jaguars don't try to stick with Podlesh just because he has had a decent camp.  An entire body of work in real games is a better barometer of ability than performances during camp.  Podlesh had MAJOR problems last season, keeping the Jaguars from sucessfully 'flipping' the field numerous times.  This defense can't afford to give teams good field position.  It will be up to our punter, hopefully Weatherford, to do this.  If you're looking for a hint on who's leading the competition, look for who is holding for Scobee on field goal tries. 
What are you looking for tonight?
