Defenses seem to sniff out the gaps that the Jags target on short yardage runs plays, and don't believe they will try any type of wham, counter, major pulls, or misdirection sets.

They also normally don't honor Trevor as a runner most the of the time. The number of times Jags run a QB-option and the entire defense crashes the box with zero regard to the play action or "3rd read WR" is astounding.

For example, there was 1 drive Eagles ran against the Jags where Allen was left unblocked on purpose, but had to honor both Hurts/Sanders as options and made the wrong choice 3 plays in a row. That doesn't happen for the Jags, and it makes defending the run in "obvious running situations" really difficult.
