Hopefully this a better 2nd half football team this year.

That's an offensive stat IMO.    Trevor and Doug will need to be better.   

I've noticed that over the past 2 seasons, Trevor can be big play blind on 3rd downs instead of simply focusing on moving the chains.    He's better with it in two minute hurry up situations, but during regular offensive sets...he appears to look for the big play first instead of doing the Tom Brady thing and simply taking what is underneath and getting another 3 downs.


3rd down efficiency has to be MUCH better.

Brandon Scherff is no longer that dude.   Next season I want him gone.

I think you can put third down efficiency primarily on the OL's horrendous run blocking. 

In every run situation with 3rd down with 3 yards or less  needed to convert, the Jags' run game was so ineffective they only attempted to run the ball 29 times. 

Of those 29 attempts on third and short - they converted 16 runs into first downs. 

Those numbers should be more like 45 attempts and 30 first downs. 

(for instance - balt.ravens - 43 att / 30 first downs. -- eagles - 42 att - 31 first downs)

---

Sure - there are other 3rd down problems to address from last year - but when you can't run for 2 yards at will you have a major problem.

That is all true.  One of the worst stats I've seen is that last year we ran the ball for zero or negative yardage 120 times.  That is the second most of all the teams in the league.  

So it's not just a problem with 3rd and short.  It's our running game leaving us with 3rd and long.

Some nice information about Trevis Gipson and his path to the Jags. Really gets me excited for the defense this year.

If he is a legitimate Edge 3 like Arden Key was then look out.  I would also like to see Devin Lloyd get more pass rushing reps from the first 2 levels.

Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.

Hopefully this a better 2nd half football team this year.

As the season progressed EVERYONE in the league, stadium and my grandmother knew we were going to pass the ball on 3rd and short.  The shorts were either covered or a bait situation to get him to take it.

A new broom always sweeps clean.

It'll be an interesting summer and preseason to watch. As many have said. Hoping like hell Morse holds up physically and he was the missing piece to the puzzle.

Maybe our running game can finally show some consistency beyond getting knifed in the backfield and setting the offense up with multiple long down and distances needed to refresh the set of downs.

3rd and inches and 4th and inches were pathetic to watch when they ran the football. It's aggravating.

Cooper Hodges getting work in at Center is good to hear. They're at least exploring alternatives with Morse being the only upgrade really and we cannot go back to Fortner.

I said it before last year (and before he got hurt), I think Hodges is on the field as a starter at some point this year.  I just have a good feeling about this guy.  I think him missing his first season could be a blessing in disguise.  Keeping my fingers crossed that I'm right because we could sure use some assistance shoring up the interior OL.

I don't understand this Cooper Hodges love I see everywhere.  The guy is a late round draft pick who's never played a down in the NFL.  Why does everyone think he's starter material?

You’re right, we should never hope we hit on a late round pick.

I've echoed this sentiment myself, but the fact that the beat guys all seem to think he looks like the real deal in these practices is encouraging. I'm slowly shifting away from my skepticism over his praise. A little bit anyway. 

I'm certainly not penciling him in anywhere, but if we end up with a quality back-up guard by way of a 7th round pick, I'll be quite happy. 
If he's more than that, we hit the jackpot.

 You should just let the Cooper Hodges Hype get to you. We TugBoatians know what's up!!!!!


Now more serious, his love can be explained by his behavior during training camp last year. He was seen often hyping up the crowd, joking with his teammates, just having a lifting personality. So is easy to root for a good/fun guy

Good discussion. I have been on both sides of this, mainly due to the performance of our line last year. I know during practice he had been showing out last year, which is a plus. The negative is it was against our interior D-line guys who during the season proved to not be elite to say the least. So, right now I have a large question mark by his name. I do like the story of a local guy making good, but stories don't block people. There is hope, but that has proved not to be a good plan. We will see....

It’s good to see him mention so may young players on rookie contracts. Draft and develop.

Parker looks quick and fluid in and out of his breaking route there. Granted, it's no pads and what not, but, good indicator he has those injuries behind him.

He looked good at the end of last year too.  Would be nice to have an embarrassment of riches in the WR room.  Hopefully it plays out that way.

Antics, it's all about Antics. During the 2023 training camp Cooper won over the croud by doing a cartwheel(s) at the beginning of every camp practice and became camp favorite. ALOT of fan prayed that he'd solidify our OL just like they're/we're doing now. SORRY. 

W/that being said, it would be extremely pleasant if this materialized because it's all about talent. Drafting and FA signings are dependent upon for success. Him being healthy strengthens the team/OL.

Time Will Tell.
