The Non-Official Jaguars vs NY Jets Post
The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently ranked 24th in Offense and 19th in Defense, while the NY Jets are currently ranked 8th in Offense & 2nd in Defense. If you watched the Jets last week they almost dethroned the Super Bowl Champion Patriots only to lose the game right at the end. The same team that destroyed the Jaguars Defense, but their Defense is even better than their Offense.
The Jaguars are at the advantage of having an extra week to rest and game plan against the Jets though the Jets will be at home. The Jaguars are currently 2-5 heading into the bye week while the Jets are currently 4-2 and 2nd in a very hard division with the NE Patriots. The Jets new Head Coach Todd Bowles (a former Redskins Safety) has done a terrific job of turning this team around from Rex Ryan's previous season. The Jets defeated the Browns, Colts, Dolphins, and the Redskins only losing to the Eagles & the Patriots (close game).
The question is how can the struggling young Jacksonville Jaguars defeat the NY Jets? The Jets strength is at the Lines. The push the Offense gets putting the Jets 3rd overall in rushing & protecting their QB to 16th overall in Passing. The problem is the Jaguars haven't been getting to the QB in terms of pressure and though the team has been built by HC Gus Bradley specifically to stop the run they have allowed other teams to run over them they are currently 12th in stopping the run, but the Jets are 1st in stopping the run while the Jaguars struggle to run this year despite the promising looks from rookie TJ Yeldon.
In order for the Jaguars to win this game they have to win the battle at the lines which is easy to say but much harder to do with the talent and Cover 3 zone scheme that they have been using for years without a real viable pass rushing Leo. The 12 year veteran Chris Clemons has been impressive at times but his snaps are limited party due to his age. This is a true measuring test as to how well Head Coach Gus Bradley can well frankly lead, and game plan with this extra time against a rookie HC. He might come out with Roy Miller in a Nose Tackle kind of position with Marks next to him, and Tyson Alualu on the other side, Odrick on the far left in a pass rush with Chris Clemons at Leo rushing as well & then sending the superstar WOLB Telvin Smith in to get pressure or tackle for loss to help in stopping the run I'm sure SS Cyprien will be more towards the line. That then asks what about the pass, House & Colvin dropping back into Zone Coverage, with FS & CB Gratz getting the in between.. and Poz he will have to cover the middle to stop the run & pass. On offense the Jaguars will have to use M Lewis to help stop the pass rush and give time for the Allens & Thomas to make big plays down field to stretch the field and give TJ Yeldon a chance to get yards in space.
Which team do you predict will win, I am sure the Jets will be the Vegas favored to win... but of course I'm drinking the teal koolaid and going with a very close game down to the wire. 37-34 Jaguars win!
