FF Recovered - 3 (1st)
FF TD's - 2 (1st) 

This is through four games. That's quite telling from a team that was basically the bottom of the list for all categories. Makes it even more sickening we have no QB right now.

While I don't know that we'll finish top 5 in all of those categories (doubtful) there is no doubting that this staff was preaching turnovers all off-season and the team has received the message and adopted the adjustments in technique and scheme. 

Even if these numbers fade a bit after facing better offenses, I expect the Jags will remain in the upper third of the league in these stats and near the top on a couple of them. Especially if our starters in the secondary remain healthy.

Thus far Todd Wash's statements about this defense being a more aggressive one than years past have been proven true. 
Now they have to find a way to do this and still stop the run more effectively.
