Yeah - I don't have much confidence that a defense with a sprinkling of new faces + an untested and freshly installed scheme will be ready for the phins offensive subterfuge and speed.

I think Nielsen and the squad he's inherited and augmented will come together fine by October. I just can't feel good about that happening in week one vs a prolific scoring offense.

Jags may need a 31-27 type of score to win this one unless I'm totally wrong about the readiness of the Jags D.
Hoping like hell to be wrong.

Would really like to see the Jags play without unforced errors and protect Trevor to start the season at the very least.
