Quote:The Chargers’ offensive line was in shambles Saturday night, and the Pro Football Focus numbers proved it: 20 quarterback hurries. Twenty! By man:
Left tackle Russell Okung: four hurries.
Left guard Dan Feeney: two hurries.
Center Mike Pouncey: four hurries.
Right guard Michael Schofield: two hurries.
Right tackle Sam Tevi: eight hurries.

I read this and shake my head.  Whenever non Jaguars familiar analysts talk about how disappointing the Jaguars are, they talk about Bortles, they talk about how the defense has fallen off, but very few mention the carnage along the OL.  But any other team with a fraction of our injuries would have the violins playing.

By a man, this would be a vast upgrade over our current injury laden OL.


Calais Campbell wins one of his defensive player of the week awards...

Quote:Calais Campbell, defensive end, Jacksonville. The ageless one (how can it be he’s only 32?) led a defensive effort that smothered the Dolphins for most of Sunday. For the last 54 minutes of a 17-7 win in Miami, Jacksonville allowed 100 yards and zero points. Campbell contributed a sack, three hits on Ryan Tannehill, a forced fumble and a recovered fumble. I’ve got so much admiration for Campbell. Meaningless game or not, he’s playing every snap hard. I know players should do that, and many do, but certainly not all.

My general rule is to keep a team as young and talented as possible for as long as possible.

But somehow we gotta find a way to keep him around another year.
