28th in the league in run defense

That's true, but early signs show that the Jags could be vulnerable against the run, especially late in games. The strength of the D appears to be vs. the pass and pass rush. The line men are more rush oriented than stout body eaters, sans Abry Jones - who sees the field limitedly due to nickel packages being essentially base in a pass heavy league.  

The linebackers are fast and rangy, to run with pass catchers, or chase runners that break free.  The DBs are more aerial than box hitters.  With the exception of Jones, Poz and Church, the D is structurally comprised of pass D guys.  They will give up sizeable runs here and there, and are more prone to doing so when they wear down, if the offense falters.
Success is a journey, not a destination.  Go all out Mighty Jaguars.
