Nielsen has them out of position and in wrong matchups nearly full time.  Hopefully all the guys coming back next year forget most of the experience.  It would be nice to see what Maason Smith can do but I'm sure he will be mis-used if he ever makes it on the field.

The O is where the only interesting things are happening.  Will Tank recover from his injury and repeat his early season performance? Will BTJ continue to look like a pro bowler? Will Walker Little settle in as the left tackle of the future? Will Anton improve?  Those are things that will translate to next year.  Armstead playing DE while Ronald Darby plays corner and Antonio Johnson plays safety, that's nothing to really build on.  Even looking at Foye and Miller, not much to see when the D line in front of them is playing like wounded puppies.

The Walker Little situation is pretty odd. If the Jaguars have drafted their LT of the future, they certainly didn't treat Little that way.  Not starting him at LT regularly until his contract year doesn't make any reasonable sense.
