Reggie Nelson has a big fat bullseye on his back tonight. The rookie safety from Florida has been putting in extra time preparing for the Indianapolis Colts' passing attack, and he knows better than anyone that a lot of footballs are coming his way. Nelson told reporters earlier this week:"They've got more experience than I do, and I'm pretty sure they've been studying our secondary and looking at me as a rookie starting. They might try to take advantage of me.
"We're still coming together and getting things figured out. They're probably going to come out and test us, especially me, but that's fine. We're up for the challenge."
The Jaguars secondary looks a little different than it did last season, when Gerald Sensabaugh and Deon Grant started at safety. Grant left for Seattle, which facilitated the drafting of Nelson, and Sensabaugh was lost for the season after requiring shoulder surgery. Old-timer Sammy Knight is now starting next to Nelson, and both have one interception so far this season. Given that Peyton Manning is expected to throw a lot tonight -- the Jags have allowed a stingy 50 rushing yards per game in their last four games, all wins -- you can expect Nelson and Knight to be very busy.
