We also have a distinct style on offense. ETN and Tank are two different styles, and I think Tank is a perfect fit for one cut and go style of running. It's decisive, it's methodical, it's easier. No stretch plays trying to get to sidelines, no tapdancing behind the line, linemen know they just need to punch a hole, and a moment later an RB will be cruising through it.

I will be interested to see if we keep this up once ETN is ready to return, or if he even gets significant reps once he's healthy again. There's certainly ability, but it seems like we were still guessing at how to best use it.

But we aren't experiencing what they experienced. 

The 2024 offense stumbled and flailed while they implemented a radical shift in the passing attack but is showing signs of coming together now.  

Unfortunately - the stumbling and flailing was so bad I don't believe Doug or Press can save their jobs nor do I want them to.

Might be a bigger question for its own thread, but even if we turn this around and start winning against better competition, do you still say this?

Probably, yes. 
It's year three of this coach and QB tandem and they added talent to each offseason. 
Coming out of the gate in year 3 so pathetically incompetent feels unforgivable to me.
Yes, it was largely player error, and there was a new element added to the passing game, but when the errors are that prolonged and widespread, I have no choice but to look at the men supposedly preparing these players to execute the plays. 

I also think the better teams we are about to play will hang 35-50 points on this Jaguars defense.
