*Week one didn't feature many of these quick releases from Trevor. Wasn't in the gameplan. 
*Week two did feature them and for good reason. No defense gives up the underneath pass more readily than Gus Bradley's. 
Like fish in a barrel.
*Week three sought to continue week two's methodology since the bolts were always going to pressure the QB from the edge and have suspect cover linebackers. It worked again. 

Week four sees the Jags facing a coordinator who preaches adaptability and running different defensive fronts and schemes. 
Maybe our visiting philly fans can give you some insight as to how well Gannon's defense is prepared for on onslaught of quick-hit passes being peppered from sideline to sideline within the confines of the sticks, (I couldn't tell you)  but I'd wager Gannon has seen the tape from weeks 2 and 3 and has an inkling or two about what he needs to do to counter that stuff. 

We'll see. I don't think it will look like a cakewalk this time.
I do think that if we establish the run well early on, it may not matter, and I do think Pederson/Taylor have a bag of tricks saved up especially for this Sunday. 

Popcorn ready.

Don’t disagree in general with the above aside from week 1 not being quick release stuff from Trevor.  I left that game with the same feeling as you but on re-watch discovered that he was getting it out still very quickly.  They may have dialed it up further in the subsequent games, but the ball was out in under 3 seconds from the pocket all but once against Washington by my count and that once was a sack.

I think this focus on getting it out quick is helpful for Trevor and the offense, but I have to wonder if it’s more by necessity because of potential concerns about the o-line.  Everyone on the o-line smells like roses when the ball is gone at the 2 to 2.5 second mark.  

Trevor is down on the list of QBs passing yards through the air.  A lot of our passing yards are short passes with YAC.  I’ll take it however it comes and he’s been very good so I’m not complaining.  I just have to wonder if the Jags coaches aren’t as enamored with the pass blocking as the stats would have you believe.

It's both.

Getting it out quick on some two-read plays is helpful to young QBs who can execute that stuff - but in the past two games it has also been the perfect gameplan for the opponent. 

Gannon played lots of zone in 2021 in Philly, so on paper, it may work again this week, but I'm just not feeling as certain.
Watching series from eagles games this season, the LBs and safeties seem quicker getting to the ball and protecting against the conversion than what we've faced the past two weeks. 

I think they need to get the run working early so they can risk some longer developing routes off play action and not get stuck in dink and dunk mode the whole way in this particular matchup.
