The reason that is important is that prior to this year, we didn’t have much of a passing game. They could stack the box and wait for Bortles to throw a pick 6. 

Also a reason it’s important to note, DeFilippo, the OC was hired this year.

That number didn't even count this season - and Fournette has run out of a three wide receiver set this season on a significant number of snaps. That unloads the box, and it hasn't helped.  When your 5 guys up front are getting flat beat, it's hard to make space for a powerback with very little agility or ability to improvise.

It's six on one side, half a dozen on the other. Teams are still stacking the box because they're daring a sixth round rookie to beat them through the air. But at the same time the line isn't getting any kind of push at all. Against the tinhorns they needed two attempts to gain a single yard and even then they only got it because of a rather generous spot from the refs.
