Drew has been limited to 10 carries per game in the preseason after coming off a lisfrance surgery this past season.

I doubt that he's fully ready to run a full load right off the bat.

As well, Gabbert hasn't thrown because of an injured thumb, though he's penciled in as the starter over Henne.

So, they are installing a new offense under a first time head coach and their two main guys they expect to run it haven't been able to fully operate in it.

As well, they are starting two rookies at CB and Safety.

Bowe and Fasano will see a lot of looks from Smith picking apart the rooks.

As well, the Jags are starting a rookie at right offensive tackle. Now, you might comment that the Chiefs are as well, but the Jags are horrible rushing the passer while Luke Joeckel is going to see a steady diet of Pro-Bowlers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston all game long.

The only real interesting matchup of the game is Jags MLB Paul Posluzsny vs. Charles and Fasano. Pos is a pretty darn good player and covers both the run and pass well.

The only advantage that the Jaguars have in this game is whatever understanding of the Chiefs that they are able to pry out of Ricky Stanzi and his memory of the Chiefs playbook.

This one should be an absolute blowout.

However, what is and what should be are two entirely different things, aren't they?
