Jaguars need to be better with reinserting Starters, It cost us last year...

#11

Lee didn't play in weeks 15,16 and 17. During that stretch Westbrook had some ugly moments where he looked like a rookie. Add in the fact that Lee looked like an absolute stud in week 14 vs the seahawks and it was wise to re-insert him.
Cole still got looks in the playoffs. Just not as many as he did when Lee was out.

Dede got plenty of looks in the wildcard game (8 targets) but didn't produce. Some of that was on Blake.

Did they target Westbrook and Cole a bit less in the divisional and conference games with Hurns and Lee back? Yes - but Cole still got looks and had some catches - and Westbrook had been looking like he was in a bit of a "rookie wall" situation. He wasn't really earning targets at that point. It's possible Blake and/or Hackett lost some trust there.

I don't see any problem with how it was handled. Targeting vets over rookies a bit more in the playoffs actually makes a lot of sense.

The real issues in the conference game were more about the run game and the way the coaches switched their usage of it in the second half.

He was very involved. But I think opposing teams started to recognize he was the big play threat and starting with week 17 began scheming to limit his explosive plays.

Yes..... you also just made my point. When the ball was thrown his way, good things happened, the ball just wasn't thrown his way enough. The GIF below is an example of my point, Cole quickly gets open against one of the better CB's in football in Stephon Gilmore, but the ball isn't thrown his way. He was playing at an unbelievable level at the end of the year for an un-drafted guy and deserved more targets, I don't think he was targeted in the Buffalo game and was only targeted a couple times against NE, despite making an insane sideline catch early in that game.

Dude.  

That's on the QB. He looked right at Cole and then threw to Lee.
