Quote:I think teams are doing a good job in coverage. They aren't loading the box to protect against the run - they're dropping more players into coverage roles.

 

If this is indeed the case, that's all the more reason to do whatever it takes to get the running game going.

 

Our line may not be the best run blocking line we've ever seen in Jax, but they've got to find a way to manufacture a respectable rushing attack. I shudder to think what MoJo (in his prime) would've done NOT having to face loaded boxes every down. Gerhart ran well spelling AP in Minnesota, but it seems that he's simply too tentative when he takes the hand off...like he's not sure where he should go. There also, more often than not, seems to be one of our offensive linemen in his "way" wherever he finally decides to run (to me, anyway). My question there is: "What causes that and how do we make it go away?"

 

A few games from him like he ran against Baltimore last year in the snow and our offense would look much, much better as a whole (once again, imo).
