2009 regular season
Jacksonville cruised to an 11-5 season behind the dominant play of Leftwich, who racked up 4165 yards, 33 TDs and 7 INTs. The Jaguars powered through the playoffs but lost to Green Bay in the Super Bowl, 20-10.
Clifton Freestone Clifton was put into the starting spot at LDE and played well, though he had trouble getting to the quarterback as often as the coach would have liked. His totals for 16 starts were 26 tackles, 14 assists and 1 sack, though he did have 7 blocked passes and 9 hurries.
John Barber Surprisingly, Barber spent much of the year on the inactive list. He played in 4 games and started one, but didn't manage a single KRB all year.
Mike Bradford Bradford rode the bench all year, as was expected. He threw one pass, a 14 yard completion.
Julio Douthit - Julio as expected played in three and four WR sets for the most part, and put up reasonable numbers - 26 catches for 490 yards and 3 TDs. He also returned kicks and punts and had a return run back for a score this year in each category.
Jeff Hammond Hammond battled injuries all year and was deactivated for many games. In 3 games and one start he had 3 KRBs in 4 chances.
Cole Shields Cole was inactive for about half the season, then was traded to the Minnesota Vikings as part of a larger trade package. He played in 6 games for them and had 4 tackles, an assist, and an interception. Cole is playing behind two good young safeties on the Vikes and will have to improve a lot.
Terrell Washington Terrell does not look like a very promising player. He played sparingly in 12 games and recorded 4 tackles and an assist.
