Thus far we've seen teams keep an extra eye on Westbrook a bit as they do have tape on him. I wonder if DJ Chark will begin getting that extra attention soon?

Right now it seems teams are loading up on the run and daring the Jaguars to pass. Considering Fournette really isn't very dangerous I expect if the Jaguars play smart offense and stop running him into Linder's back on every first down opposing teams will probably back off of that soon and the team will become a bit more balanced. Can't stack up against the run and also double multiple receivers.

They didn't do that on Thursday night. They passed frequently on first down and they tried a few different 1st down run plays that had LF aimed at different gaps. None of them worked, but there certainly was no pervasive "run him up Linders back side every first down" going on.  They did run a bit more once they had a 17 point lead, but that's just smart football. 

I absolutely believe the respect Minshew and the receivers will be getting in coming weeks will open things up some for Fournette, but that front five for the Jags is losing their individual blocking very consistently and that has to improve too.
