Wentz was running around quite a bit. It's like they just flipped a switch all of the sudden.

Yeah, the rush was getting pressure, but dang if Wentz wasn't able to still find ways to get the ball out and often completed. I think switching to zone is allowing players to help players, not letting receivers get open behind the D and forcing the QB to scan the field for opportunities is giving them time to apply pressure. Add in that we brought in a bunch of new players and a new scheme this offseason, and it makes sense that we're seeing progress at this point in the year.

Offensively, I want to say we are last in the league in 3rd down yardage to go. You're never going to be successful leading that statistic. We've also gone how long without breaking 20 pts in a game? Another stat that will not bode well for the W-L record.

I'll credit the D, we spotted the shoes a 17-0 lead and they clamped down and kept the game close in the end. In previous years, the give-up would have made this an embarrassing loss.

The d looks really nasty good lately. in the draft , it think 1 more cb and a line backer. Playmakers. Cullen scheme is what the jags fans have been asking for.

You could say the same thing about opening the game with a D that forgot Jonathan Taylor existed. We changed something up and it worked, but dang it would have been nice not to spot them 10 more on top of that botched punt.
