Sherff moves left at the snap to help Fortner with the down linemen which resulted in 4 on 2, while Anton got hit with both blitzers. Anton lets the outside free blitzer go to push the inside blitzer further in, then TLaw extends the play and Anton let the second blitzer slide back outside where he popped Lawrence. If Scherff had read the blitz right he would not have doubled with Fortner, he'd of walled off the inside blitzer and it would've been fine. Anton made enough of a play to get Lawrence free, but he just didn't recover and left the gap that 55 slid through to hit the QB. Scherff missed it at the start, likely because he was busy playing Assistant Right Center all season.

Nice analysis and pick up.  Thus, PFF's preseason #12 rated center for 2024 is now a Jaguar.

For reference
Fortner - run block 40.0 - pass block 54.9 - total  44.3
Morris - run block 61.5 - pass block 72.5 - total  63.9

Going into 2024 Morris is projected to be the 12th best center in the league by PFF.

Maybe this year Sherff can just play guard and we can use more than just simple blocking patterns.

If he plays that well this could be a top 15 or so line, the only real issue left would be that Scherff isn't much of a run blocker anymore. The left tackle is an average guy and really not much difference if he can't go and Little steps in, left guard can be top 15 if he's healthy, and I think Anton is poised to be a top 10 guy if he takes the step this offseason. The group as a whole is MUCH better if Morse is that good.
