A few things here:

*They are facing a Gus Bradley defense. He'll go to zone coverage fairly often which allows us to move Kirk to any receiver position. He plays well vs zone at the outside spots. It's primarily vs man cvrg when he has been less productive outside. 

* The secondary in Indy has better pieces this season in general - not just nickel

*We know a Bradley defense will give up the underneath stuff to RBs and TEs since we saw it happen in Jax for years under Gus and it continued with Wash when Gus was gone. So - it should be big receiving days for Etienne, Robinson, Engram and any other TE running routes. Hopefully they look to exploit this. 

* The right side of our O-Line can be exploited by stunts, blitzes, or straight edge speed very easily right now. Paye, Ngakoue, and Buckner could torment Trevor if the Jags don't protect better over there.  This could easily disrupt lots of that easy underneath stuff we hope to take advantage of vs their back seven.

Agreed with most, I'm just talking about who he will be lined up against most of the time, Kenny Moore is one of the better nickel corner in the league.  Indy has a damn good front, it will be interesting to see if they get Leonard back who's one of the best LB's in football.  Every week this online will have a tough matchup, next week they get Mack and Bosa, then to Philly who are loaded as well with Cox, Davis, Hargrave, Graham, Reddick etc.  Barnett is out for the season
