Quote:And Bortles has had WR help?   Shorts dropping 25% of his targets and rotating cast of banged up rookies?  

 

There's not a player on that O-line with less than 3 years NFL exp.  

 

I think you might overstate the WR issue.

 

Robinson was one of the best WR performers for a rookie in this decade. If he hadn't been injured he had a significant chance to reach a thousand yards.

 

Still I think both you and Frailbones have a point. The Jaguars have youth and inexperience, but their biggest issues along the o-line haven't been in their ability to block a guy in front of them, the biggest issues have been in assignment recognition and blitz pickup in the backfield by Denard.

 

That's why I keep harping on formation. You do certain things and you can really simplify the pass reads AND pass-rush pick-up. Not to mention I think Denard would do better if the defense were forced to spread out. He's been great this year at hitting the hole and making yards after contact.
