Which begs the question...How similar or different is our defense from what it was when Gus was here? It's my belief that the base defense is the same but that is where similarities stop. Didn't Walsh implement his own concepts? In any case, they have two ends that are getting sacks off of "high motor" ability, not so much technique. If the Jags offense can impose their style of play early and successfully, you can limit the ends effectiveness.

I believe this game comes down to the backs playing disciplined. Rivers is notorious for hopping and skipping around, making ridiculous (lucky) throws under duress. Contain and play disciplined on the back end and I don't see this being too close of a game honestly. They did play the Patriots tight but I think that was the Chargers best performance of the year and the Pats defense, in my opinion, isn't on the same level as the Jags.

It's no surprise what the Jags are going to do but you can't stop it. And if the Chargers are relying on what Gus knows, then the Jags should be in good shape. He's the worst HC in NFL history and a very overrated DC.
