As for Wentz, I think he might have been the scapegoat for the Colts' failure to make the playoffs.  In their 17th game last year, when all they needed was to beat us to make the playoffs, it looked like their entire team took the game off.  But the Colts' coaching staff sure didn't want to take the blame so they stuck it all on Wentz.  Or maybe he does suck.  I can't figure him out.  Maybe there's something we don't know about him.

I couldn't agree more about your Wentz take,you wouldn't think a team or staff would take that approach...Wentz has tremendous skills which I believe will take my team to the next level...Hey your Dline better be improved cause our run game will be the feature in week 1....

The Jags face Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry twice a year in the division. 

Knowing this, the new brass signed the league leading tackler at ILB, signed the 3rd best rated interior DL against the run to play NT, and drafted two more linebackers early. 

I don't know how well they'll be dialed into a new scheme in week one, but they definitely have the horses to hold Gibson to a meager number.
