Quote:I didn't say the coaches tried everything, I said the coaches tried all sorts of things which was the response to a poster claiming that the jags coaching staff didn't try to change anything which is patently false.

 

The fact that the front 4 couldn't get pressure doesn't mean the coaches didn't try different things. Heck, the 97 yard TD run by Mariota was caused by a stunt called by the coaches where the front 4 didn't get home and left the middle of the field wide open.

 

You can't blitz on every passing down. The problem with blitzing is that if the offense is able to pick it up, you leave your coverage short a player or two. If you try it too much you become predictable and an NFL offense will exploit you. That being said, there is no way you can say the amount of blitzing didn't increased in the second half of the season.

 

It seems like some of you have a hard time differentiating between plays not being called and plays that just weren't executed.
The reality is that if you don't have players good enough to beat the other players, it doesn't matter what you call. This is the NFL and just like Chip Kelly learned, you aren't going to out scheme your opponents for very long. This is a players league. It is driven by the talent on the field.
