Quote:Yeah, that was a bad play by Mariota but great play by Sharpe. Mariota seems to force plays to Sharpe when he's on the field. He seems to be a dependable receiver.

 

The running game looked great and I'm ecstatic to have a running game. It was woefully needed last season. And as I've said before, teams may pass more now days, but it's more running teams getting into the playoffs. Ideally, it's good to have a balanced team, but more running teams get in than passing teams.

 

I'm pretty happy with the offense. We have receiving threats beyond just Walker so that's a step in the right direction. The offensive line is blocking. Running backs are beasting.

 

The defense still looks like a dumpster fire, mainly the secondary. We got one of our corners back. Hope to get Perrish back next week.

 

The offensive production in the preseason tends to be fools gold. Guys often don't stick their nose into the pile in the preseason to stop runs at 2 or 3 yards and let them go to the next level which is the same reason I'm not convinced the Jaguars running game is going to be as good as it's looked in the preseason so far, either. Jaguars are getting 5+ YPC from the first team running game, but when the regular season comes I fully expect it'll probably drop to less than 4. It might be improved, just like the titans might be improved, but the preseason success isn't an indication of what's actually going to happen when the games count.
