Quote:I may be alone in this thought, but I'm not seeing the rush as an issue. This defense has not been about that one strong pass rusher since Gus got here. It has always been scheme based and more dependent on group effort. This is why you saw such a heavy emphasis given to the secondary this off season. They needed coverage guys to buy more time for the D-line to fit their scheme. I'm sure the Jags would like one or two guys that can get to the QB consistently, hence the Fowler pickup, but not there yet. We should see much of what we saw from last years line, albeit perhaps a bit weaker with Marks injury.

 

The preseason was nothing more than seeing if an effort guy could step up. You'd be fooling yourself if you thought they actually schemed up blitz packages to show off for preseason games!

 

The one thing that should be getting attention was the inability of the front seven to get off blocks to stop the run. THAT looks like a legitimate concern.
