They stopped the run pretty well last season.  Lynch managed 4.2 YPC in week one against them but he's running behind a better line. 

I think it will take all the Jags have to scrape out 120 or so on the ground vs the tacks unless Fournette breaks a really big one and skews the number a bit. That number will have to include a few designed QB scampers. 

 I expect more than a few screens, swing passes and designed dump-offs to TEs to supplement the run game by design. 

Bortles will also need to connect on a few intermediate PA routes to keep things rolling.

Our run defense is not as good as the stats might have suggested. Us having a high ranked run d had, I think, a lot to do with the pass defense being beyond terrible. Teams did not run on us much because passing was so easy.

As far as last week is concerned, you can expect the Titans to play you guys differently than they did the Raiders. The Titans will not have to worry as much about the passing game as they did with the Raiders which will make it easier to focus on the run.
