The starters set the tone as Marks got off to a great start this preseason with a <b>+5.0 </b>on only 11 snaps that included a hit, two hurries, a forced fumble, and a stop in the run game. Newly-acquired DE <b>Red Bryant </b>did his usual work moving blockers in the run game on only four snaps (<b>+1.2 </b>run defense) while fellow former Seahawk, DE <b>Chris Clemons, </b>got in on a sack on his six pass rushes.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;text-align:left;">While the starters were impressive, it was the depth that told the story for the Jaguars. Whether it was rookie DE <b>Chris Smith </b>jumping snaps, too dangerously at times, for a sack and a hurry or fourth-year DT <b>David Carter </b>batting two passes, the Jacksonville front controlled the game from start to finish. Even DT <b>Ziggy Hood </b>got in on the action against the Bucs’ second-stringers with a<b>+1.2 </b>grade for the game. The Jacksonville defensive front looks stronger on paper, and Friday night was a good start for their offseason acquisitions and young players
