They did have an in ability to get off the field due to many issues the last few years, but a major part of that was inconsistent and weak QB pressure. There were just way too many 3 and longs that teams managed to convert.

I presume Caldwell's scheme will take a lot of blitz packages and looks from Bowles to help with that. But I just worry about relying on the scheme to generate the pressure for this season while the Jags develop Walker.

Taking this opportunity to comment since many are repeating this.  So the comment is not aimed at you.

Why is anyone buying the narrative that Travon is a project?  From day one, he will set the edge.  From day one, he will get penetration. From day one, teams will have to game plan around him. His worth to the team does not rise and fall on sack totals.  Just because he plays OLB does not mean he is going to be a sack specialist.  This player will do many things including set Devin Lloyd and Josh Allen free to go headhunting.  We need to get beyond the "he didn't have many sacks in college" tunnel vision.  Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean each separately said he was the best player on their defense.

Have some faith in the coaching staff and FO, guys.  We got a good one.
