Quote:Yep. I don't have a problem that they had low percentages in some packages and high percentages in others, that's simply bound to happen with situational play calling. The problem lies in the fact that there are too many absolutes in the article. 100% or 0% isn't a tendency, but rather a confirmation to the opponent that they will or won't see certain defensive calls in certain situations. It makes an offense's reads and adjustments easier when they know for a fact you will or won't be running a particular play call on a given down.

 

That article was not a good look for the Jaguars defensive play calling.

 

Eh, I think a lot of this sounds great on paper.The Jaguars are 0% blitz on 3rd and short. But our base formation already stacks the box. 

 

You then have the 100% blitz on dime and 2 LBs, with Sergio as the blitzer. That's great, but how often do we line up this formation? If we line up this formation 10 times the entire year, is this sample size really an accurate depiction of a tendency?

 

Furthermore, the article confirms what most Jaguar fans already knew (at least those who paid attention): our tendencies changed later in the year when our pass rush just couldn't hit.
