Oh, snap!  Somebody better go tell the Seahawks they didn't win the Superbowl in 2014!! 

(525 rushing attempts  - 454 passing attempts) 

LOL

Don't you think maybe they are just mitigating the mistakes of a QB who throws too many picks?  Get a better QB in Jax and there will be better balance. Until then, they should run i as much as possible.

I think the meme that Bortles makes too many mistakes misses some nuance. He's been put in a situation in his career that his mistakes mattered a lot because the defense was badly coached and poorly prepared. The offense was, too, but the attitude seemed to be that Blake needed to make everything work, and at times he did.

I think the Marrone way of game planning so far looks more like Coughlin or Belichick game planning, accepting that they can't just write "have Blake take care of it" on the game plan notepad and go get some more ice cream. Instead they recognize that each game is different and the same plan won't work in all situations.

The Jaguars on Sunday against the texans was very different from the Jaguars last year against the titans. I expect this Sunday the game plan will feature Fournette heavily, but not just be the same as last week.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Jaguars even manage to pass it more than they run it.
