JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Theyve been dubbed The A-Team, a fitting nickname for more reasons than the obvious.Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson are one of the best receiving duos in the NFL. They might even be the best in Jacksonville Jaguars history, better than that other tandem that started giving defenses fits two decades ago.I have the same feelings about those guys that our fans do, said retired Jaguars receiver Jimmy Smith, a five-time Pro Bowl selection. We are all hopeful that these guys are the second coming. Lets get it right, though: I dont want these guys breaking my records, but I want them to win. Im sure Keenan (McCardell) feels the same way.Smith and McCardell have plenty of breathing room in the record books -- at least for now. But if 2015 was any indication, Hurns and Robinson will end up holding many of Jacksonvilles receiving marks by the end of their careers.Hurns caught 64 passes for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns in his second season. The Jaguars rewarded him with a four-year, $40.6 million contract extension that included $20 million guaranteed.Robinson was even better, notching 80 receptions for 1,400 yards and 14 scores. Robinson set a franchise record for TDs by a receiver and made the Pro Bowl in his second year.Jacksonville hadnt had a 1,000-yard receiver since 2005.So what will they do for an encore?The Jaguars arent even sure, but they wont be surprised by anything. After all, Hurns and Robinson were the most accomplished receiver combination aged 24 or younger in NFL history last season.The work ethic and the want-to attitude for those two guys is unbelievable, quarterback Blake Bortles said. They obviously hear all of the hype and all of this stuff about each other and about themselves individually, and it does not bother them one bit. They come to work every day and want to get better, want to be a part of this team and want to make us successful.Its impressive and fun to be around every day.The A-Team has individual strengths, too.Hurns, signed as an undrafted rookie from Miami in 2014, is durable, dependable and versatile. Hes missed just one game in two years, dropped one pass last season, and plays from the slot as well as he does outside.You can run a lot of different routes and you get great, great matchups, Hurns said.Robinson, a second-round pick from Penn State in 2014, has freakish athletic skills, including the ability to make circus catches near the sideline and outjump defenders downfield.Hes unbelievable, Bortles said. He has a mind and a motor that doesnt stop, and even though he put up good numbers last year, he is going to continue to work his tail off and wants to be better each and every year. He is a guy you love playing with, and I definitely love to throw it to him because he is a playmaker.Other things to know about the Jaguars before they open the season Sunday against Green Bay:BETTER BORTLES? Bortles ranked second in the NFL (behind Tom Brady) with 35 TD passes last season, but he also led the league in fumbles (14), interceptions (18) and sacks (51). So theres plenty of room for growth. The third-year starter spent a week in California working with mechanics guru Tom House and believes being in the same scheme for a second straight year will help. The numbers and stuff that we were able to put up were great, but I didnt think we did it consistently, he said.DEFENSE SPENDING: After firing coordinator Bob Babich and promoting Todd Wash to replace him, the Jaguars spent more than $125 million in free agency on Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson and Prince Amukamara, and used the teams first four drafts picks on that side of ball. It was a massive makeover to one of the leagues worst units. Now, the Jags have the second-highest paid defense in the league and raised expectations. One concern: Theyre counting on Dante Fowler Jr., who missed his rookie season because of a knee injury, and rookie Yannick Ngakoue to generate a consistent pass rush.WOE LINE: Jacksonville allowed an NFL-high 122 sacks the last two years, a glaring weakness on an improving offense. The team believes Brandon Linder returning from a shoulder injury and moving to center will solidify things up front. But the big concern is the left side, where offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum is coming off knee surgery, and Luke Joeckel has little experience at guard.FANTASY WATCH: Bortles, Hurns and Robinson are Jacksonvilles top fantasy plays, but tight end Julius Thomas and running back Chris Ivory should be viable options. Thomas is healthy again after missing much of last season with a broken bone and torn tendon in his right hand. And Ivory, a 1,000-yard rusher for the Jets in 2015, is expected to be the teams short-yardage and goal-line back.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Quincy Williams II Youth Jersey .

Yannick Ngakoue Jaguars Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Maharashtra have turned down Karnatakas request for a replacement player after Manish Pandey was pulled out of their ongoing Ranji Trophy fixture in Mohali. Pandey was drafted into the India squad after Ajinkya Rahane was ruled out of the fourth and fifth Tests against England with a finger injury.Faced with the prospect of playing with only ten batsmen, Karnataka requested Pranab Roy, the match referee, for a replacement. According to The Hindu, Roy, after consultations with MV Sridhar, BCCIs general manager (cricket operations), sought Maharashtra captain Swapnil Gugales consent to allow a replacement for Pandey. Gugale, however, denied the request.The match referee had asked for a substitute and we said no. Thats it, Gugale told ESPNcricinfo. The game is a little crucial for us and you never know what can happen tomorrow.Roy said the match officials went by the rules. [The] rules are clear that a replacement can be allowed subject to the consent of the captain of the opposing team, he told The Hindu.dddddddddddd But when fielding in the second innings, Karnataka will be allowed a substitute fielder. Roy also confirmed that should Pandey not play in the Mumbai Test and if the team management releases him, he could return for the match.Karnataka already have an injury concern, with Abhimanyu Mithun leaving the field after bowling only two deliveries on the opening day. They had a good day, however, as they dismissed Maharashtra for 163 after sending them in. Karnataka began their reply in solid fashion, and went to stumps on 67 for 1.Karnataka, along with Jharkhand, have already qualified for the knockouts from Group B, while Maharashtra are in a three-way battle with Delhi and Odisha for the final qualification spot.
