Even with the poor pass block rating the Jaguars weren't bad running the ball against the Chiefs.    Run the ball to set up the pass, and stick with it.

When the o~line is struggling, it’s hard to do play action.

It is, depending on the formation and personnel, they had a real chance I think to keep exploiting that TE set that had Engram and Strange motioning back inside to push the interior back enough to let Etienne get some more wiggle room and speed going. He almost broke a tackle on one of those plays and could have had more than 5. 

I hope they see this on film. Strange also got WIDE OPEN at some point in a similar situation. So, as cited above, there's a lot to be built around foundationally here if they just commit to it. It's only a matter of time before they gel again. I am not sweating it too much just yet.

One of my favorite plays they ran last year was the bootleg to the right with the TE motioning over from one side and then working the middle of the defense on a nice extended drag route. Damn near every time they tried that with Arnold it was a nice 1st down. There's no reason they can't incorporate this into the offense. Especially now with Ridley commanding more attention on the outside to draw the CB and SS/FS away from that area of the field.
