So yes - it is every defense's goal to know from tape what the first read is and take it away - but it is not every week those defenses know they have a very good chance of pressuring the QB before he can pull the trigger on read #2.

The Jags are currently in that unenviable situation of defensive fronts licking their chops to tee off on their QB.

What no one gets is that taking the first read has nothing to do with the linemen, it's about the CBs pressing and rolling double coverage to the primary guy. If our #1 target can't beat his man then the play is doomed.

It does have to do with the linemen if they are being counted on to get home prior to the QB making multiple reads, but I get your point. The secondary has to ID and cover that primary. 

I wonder if Doug and Press play any chess moves to counter that strategy this week in the pass game?
There are definitely ways to make that defensive strategy harder to pull off.
