I just saw a clip within the last day or so where Josh Jones (?) was talking about how "crazy" the defense will be with blitzers coming from "everywhere" hand some looks showing 5 down defensive linemen.

If this is true, then you may well be right that a players official depth chart listing on defense will have less relevance than under "normal" or more traditional (for the Jaguars) circumstances.


As I think about it, I remember an article about how the 46 defense came to dominance.  As I recall, one of its earliest games was against the Chargers and Hall of Fame WB Dan Fouts and Hall of Fame head coach Don Coryell.  For those of you too young to remember/know, Coryell was one of the greatest offensive minds in football history, and that late 70s/early 80s chargers teams with he and Fouts was one of the most exciting, pass happy, high scoring offenses ever.  The Coryell system was the basis of the Greatest Show on Turf Rams offense that won the Super Bowl in the 1999 season.  That 1990s Dallas team was also a Coryell derived system.

I wonder if Cullen has derived any inspiration from Ryan in his approach.

There were plays where they lined up three guys on the C and two guards.  Fouts could not figure out how to set the protection.

As long as it's effective, I'm fine with it.

I'm way past ready for this team to win.
As a fan of blitzing, I'm excited to see that.

That was great to see on a lot of different levels.
