Now that "Top Tier" Free Agency is done, the picture of the Jacksonville Offense has come into a little bit sharper focus. With the additions of Thomas at Tight End, Parnell at Right Tackle, the under-the-radar additions of Arrelious Benn, Bryan Walters, and Damien Copeland at WR (bit players, to be sure) I'm getting an idea of what the team wants out of its Offense.

Now, this is where we come in!

Draw up your formation and play including who goes where and talk us through it. I'll include a play that I set up earlier this year on the board as a jumping off point.

The Formation:

This formation is heavy to one side in order to bring the Defense over to counter the obvious running threat to one side. However, with the addition of the "4", either Right Side O-Lineman can pull over to the Weak side and lead the RB down the field.



5 is on the line and is crucial to the play in that he needs to be a threat to the Defense down the field.



3 is set back off of the line in order to relieve him of a jam and to be able to send him into motion either in or out to flex the Defense.

The Players:



5 is a bigger WR who can win in one-on-one or draw Safety help. I'm thinking Robinson or Blackmon here.



6 is an "Inline" Y Tight End who is an accomplished blocker. Marcedes fits here very well. He is a threat to the Run Defense in that he can pin a LB to the inside, and he can also threaten the seam if the Safety shades over to the "5".



4 is a "Move" Tight End or H-back that can block a LB one on one or help the RT via chip. He can easily run a route to the Sideline, go deep, or even a 15 yard "Out" route. A wrinkle to this is that "4" is also a threat to run via an inside handoff. Think either Gerhart or Julius Thomas here.



3 is a WR who will benefit from being off the line and being able to motion and free himself from the jam due to formation. I picture Marqise Lee being a natural fit here.



2 is your modern NFL RB, pick a guy.

The Play:



Send 5 deep if for nothing else than to run off the CB and make the Safety take notice. A 15 yard comeback would probably be deadly if no Safety help is seen.



Have 6 step down to block and release if it's a pass. If it's a run, pin the DE and combo to a LB.



4 Flares out behind 6 in order to make the LB find him and chase. Make the LB move out to cover and open up the interior.



3 can come in motion over to the other side if needed, or even run a Jet sweep to the Weak side.



Send 2 to wherever the play goes.

What do you got?

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
