The 9% number is for motion at the snap - not pre-snap motion. Many are all about twitter believing we are using pre-snap motion at only 9%

Jags use of motion is just below middle of the pack at 49% 

They should improve both numbers IMO, but after seeing that OL look like the keystone cops last season and several times in weeks one though 3, I think they dialed it back hoping to aid execution. 

I hold out hope that as the execution improves, so will the use of pre-snap and at-snap motion. 

Saw another chart that shows our offensive efficiency is up a bit with use of motion, so it could help. Hope we see it soon.

I'm not here to argue with you.  I actually noticed that we do run a motion receiver more often now.

But...  Just to be an [BLEEP] hole...  The more advanced offenses get to the line with 20 seconds on the play clock and then run multiple motions...  I think that's what we're missing sometimes.  Not all the time.  But it's clear when you watch the better offenses how they run motion.  It's much more complex than what we do.

All this to say, at least we're getting better?  We have a lot to go.  But there's still a chance we can run off 3 wins in a row.  We can still be right back in this playoff hunt.

Our use of motion is not increased at all. 

It is about 2% down from last year. 

So whatever it was you thought you saw, you didn't see that. 

Personally - I'm lobbying for using it more but guessing we don't because of the bad execution -  
Plays coming in late, or offense being slow to get set at the line at time, that certainly doesn't help.
