The entire OL will be tested and Little will get a lot thrown his way.

Trevor needs to get the ball out quickly, the run blocks need to be well executed so we can run against some of their pass rush sets, and screens will have to be set up perfectly.
keeping that pass rush at bay is a big priority Saturday night.

I know you know this...  Just using your point to jump off from...

The bunch formation that we were running early in December needs to make a come back.  Having tight trips with Zay, Kirk, and Engram was deadly for us.

Also, Lawrence was #1 in release time for most of December at like 2.17 seconds (or something like that, I don't have the exact stats).  What that means was that the play calling by Pederson was tight - AND - Trevor was pre-reading before the snap efficiently.  I hope they have been practicing this again this week.

Lawrence and Pederson are best together when they have a 3 depth concept working of a tight trips formation.  Then, they can use that same formation to run ETN/Hasty, or even play-action bootleg to the opposite field.

We got away from all those patterns once we played the Jets.  I expect us to get back to these types of formations, route concepts, and play calls that get the defense to have to re-act instead of attack.

It wasn't so much "getting away" from anything as it is just individual gameplans tailored to target opponents weak points. 
It's also in direct response to the coverages being used on game day by the opponent. Which is always in flux. 

Pederson - of any coach this team has ever head - is by miles the smartest I've seen about making a defense beat you before altering tactic. He knows what he's got from his 11 personnel group in a bunch formation. He'll use it efficiently when it isn't being defended. I have more trust in that than I've ever had in any Jags coach to use his best assets. Any you're right, that formation is producing great results.

I love that 2.17 number, BTW. We need that to keep Trevor upright unfortunately. Especially on Saturday.
