Urban took over a talent-devoid team which only won one game last year.

1. New HC.
2. New OC. Every player young and old learning a new playbook.
3. Rookie QB learning a new playbook, HC, and OC, as well as adjusting to the NFL.
4. New DC. Even holdovers from last years dreadful team learning a new scheme.

There's knowing the playbook and then there's KNOWING THE PLAYBOOK. I know from experience majority of the guys don't even know the playbook. Not to the point where they're out there going fullspeed. It takes a good year before they will be comfortable with the plays.

I do not think I ever pointed to instant results.  With the amount of money he had available with the draft capital we had this should be at least a competitive team.  We are losing by more than 2 scores in every game we play.  It's not even a competitive team at the end of the day.   I think the 2020 Jags would beat the 2021 Jags.  I do not see the improvements and that is my point.

The 2020 Jags of weeks 9-15 could possibly beat this team. Though this team is good against the run, which was that teams strength.

Keep in mind the 2020 team was historically bad before they got comfortable and became at least respectful on defense.

This will be a different team by week 10 if not sooner. They'll win at least 1 of the next 3 games. This team has a qb that legitimately threatens the field. Teams are playing them 2 high safeties.

They're playing Trevor in 2 high safeties as a rookie! Do you know how rare that is? So actually teams aren't respecting our run game and daring us to beat them running the ball.
