The Jaguars use a hybrid West Coast Offense that relies on the short passing game to act as somewhat of an extension to the running game.  The typical "West Coast Offense Scheme" Is to pass first and run 2nd (get a big lead & then tire out the defense which kills the clock) theory.  This Pro Set Offense is favorable to TJ Yeldon which adds to the reason of starting him over Denard Robinson.    It also explains why Rashad Greene from Florida State had so many targets as it is the exact type of Offense (Pro-Set) used by the Seminoles.

 

Seattle uses a West Coast (Bradley when he was there), Ast. HC Marrone (used a hybrid West Coast in Buffalo), and OC Olson he has always changed his scheme over the years to fit what it is wanted by the franchise.

 

"He's very good at developing QBs with scheme and to best utilize the personnel. Obviously, that's an area of concern for us that we've got to get better at." - Gus Bradley

(From Wiki)

 

The West Coast offense requires a quarterback who throws extremely accurately, and often blindly, very close to opposing players. In addition, it requires the quarterback to be able to quickly pick the best one of five receivers to throw to, certainly much more quickly than in previously used systems. Often, the quarterback has no time to think about the play and must act robotically, executing the play exactly as instructed by the offensive coordinator, who calls the plays for him.

 

(in regards to WR Greene)

The West Coast offense requires sure-handed receivers who are comfortable catching in heavy traffic, and the system downplays speedy, larger receivers who are covered easily in short yardage situation.

 

(in regards to RB Yeldon & Robinson whom can catch, also why they threw to Grant)

"WCO" systems also rely on agile running backs that catch the ball as often as they run.

Once you realize exactly what the Jaguars are trying to do on Offense (the big picture) it really explains a lot of what we saw yesterday.
