I'm curious what you saw from our Defense in the Preseason that makes you have that opinion? The first drive against the Chiefs' 1s?

Our Defense only gave up a total of 20 points over 3 games in the Preseason. 13 of which came against the Chiefs.

Over those 3 games we outscored our opponents 77-20. Of course it's just Preseason but yea.

Miami plays too fast on offense.  Not much time to get to Tua and their receivers are too fast/quick.  I just don't see the Jaguars secondary holding up against them.  I predict that Miami will be able to move the ball down the field rather quickly.  Putting it in the endzone?  That might be a factor.

Miami's defense is questionable.  If the Jaguars can establish a good run game along with mixed short passes, they can get the "home run" deep play every now-and-then.  They need to get at least 4 yards on every ETN or Tank play.

The bottom line is that the Jaguars defense has to control the speedy/quick receivers and not let them get open.  At the same time the defensive line needs to get after Tua and disrupt his timing.
