I give him credit for making adjustments and trying to find a way to improve the D, I do wonder why it tool so long though.

With the injuries and roster issues, I don't know who was enforcing what. The defense isn't attacking, even when they were playing man. None of what you are seeing matches what Nielsen did in Atlanta or his coaching tree.

In Atlanta, he talked about making the scheme match the players and he did that. He also adjusted his defense based on the opponent. I don't think he did any of this DL rotation either. There's no DL confusion pre-snap to get players free.

What we see doesn't match his past, so I think there has to be some pressure for what is run. While some things are changed, it's basically the same bend, don't break defense the Jags have had for a while. The DL just continues to get worse, so they can't stop the run anymore.
