Agree. I watched Zach Wilson and they ran it 7 times to 4 passes and kicked a FG on his first drive. Seems like a better strategy to ease a rookie in to me. 

I think Meyer thought he was going to make a statement by having Lawrence throw it all over the field and it didn't quite happen like he imagined.

TBF. The Jags starting OLine should be able to pass protect well enough against the 2nd string DLine of the Browns.

It’s preseason so I try not to read too much into it. If they had 3 straight runs and a 3 and out, this board would have said “let the young kid sling it!”.

I think they have more runs in the 2nd and 3rd preseason game though.
