Holes were there, he just never saw them

Was gonna say this, there was a number of times where different people broke down run plays and LF just had bad vision and missed the hole.  There is a reason LF was the 45th ranked RB last year.  I dont believe he is that bad but you can't just look at stats

This team has a bunch of talent on the defensive side of the ball we are just young, im ready to see how it plays out.

I'm more anxious to see our offense under Gruden. Hopefully Eifert gives us an answer at TE. Our receiving corp is loaded and I have a lot of confidence in Minshew being able to deliver. If we have to be a pass to set up the run team, so be it. Leonard was part of the problem, not the solution. After 2017, his explosiveness took a huge hit. He was being arm tackled by DB's. He was too injury prone. Remember Fowler got shipped off to LA because of beef with Ngakoue, or so the story was told. Then Ngakoue wanted to hold out and thinks he's a top 5 DE. Traded away. We should be willing to give these young guys a chance. The Jaguars won't be a playoff team this year but I don't think we'll be the laughing stock of the league like we are before the season has started.

Yan also got into it with Linder.  I think a lot of the vets and probably the younger players to will play with a chip on his shoulder.  I think Minshew and a lot of players are getting tired of the media saying we are tanking and will be the worst team in the league.  I feel we have a betrer team than last year and we won 6 games
