Jags fan from NY weighing in. My coworkers have been talking soooo much smack about how Odell will put up 200 yards on Ramsey and Barkley will shred our vaunted Defense 

Their OLine is the biggest weakness. They made 2 acquisitions but its still not neccessarily a strength:

LT: Nate Solder - spend big money to get him in Offseason, he's a good LT but is a better pass blocker than run blocker. Yannick didn't seem to have trouble with him in the AFCCG.
LG: Will Hernandez - Rookie drafted in the high 2nd round, a guy a lot of Jags wanted. Reports out of camp are positive but he's still a rookie from a small conference. Malik Jackson is going to give him his "Welcome to the NFL Rook" moment, just watch!
C: Brett Jones - their C was their best player last year, which isn't saying much, with the addition of Solder he's now their 2nd best player on the line but not neccessarily "good".
RG: John Jerry - Despite signing for decent money, Omameh can't beat out the former Dolphin, John Jerry is nothing to write home about.
RT: Ereck Flowers
- I'm just gonna leave that meme here... This man was roasted so much last year that I'm AMAZED he's starting this year. Calais might start the season with a 4 sack game again because Flowers is an absolute Turnstile. 


Odell vs. Jalen, Jalen is friends with him but he doesnt want to give him bragging rights. It's Odell's first real action since the injury, We can just put a safety over the top if he's giving Jalen that much trouble, or try Bouye out on him. I don't anticipate OBJ being a problem, if he had 60 yards on the day .. I'd be surprised.

Barkley, if the team practices against Fournette I'm realllyyyy not worried about Saquon, especially behind the Giants Oline. It's not like the Cowboys where a talent like Elliot is complemented by the best blocking in the league. Telvin and Jack have more than enough speed to pursue and get him down. Jacobs taking on Fournette in the gap in the friday scrimmage is also an encouraging sign that we'll be able to bottle him up. If saquon does produce it will be through little dump offs in the flat, mark my words. He wont find room to run otherwise.

That meme is frickin awesome...
Had no idea Omameh wasn't cracking their starting lineup. (Also heard Carolina is having a hard time filling Norwells spot)

OL Matters more than most positions, especially with a less than mobile aging QB and weapons meant for a downfield attack.

I'm not worried about Barkley. When we're up by 20 in the 2nd half, he won't be running much.

If Solder is, in fact, struggling, and this is the sign of a larger trend, the Giants game will be easier.

Eli is no Brady.
Brady was so quick to get rid of the ball... who needs to block well for that long lol
Solder on the back end too...
