Quote:Jackson and Marks are not going to be getting the sacks, they are responsible for creating the pressure. Its up to Wash and Gus to bring pressure with Fowler and Jack to get them

 

I think Wash and Bradley could get more creative with their blitz packages, especially considering the speed and athleticism of guys like Jack and Telvin, along with the improved secondary play. I love Mike Zimmer's scheme here in MN where they'll line-up two of their most athletic linebackers (Barr and Kendrick's) in the A-gap on obvious passing situations, they'll either blitz from that formation or drop in coverage, it creates headaches for offenses. Now granted, the defensive personnel here in Minnesota is better than what Jacksonville currently has, but it's clear this team won't be able to get to the QB while only rushing 4 so it's worth a shot. I think Dante Fowler could excel in the "Anthony Barr" role, Barr might be a slightly better athlete than Fowler but the two players are similar, the Jags have the defensive personnel to get really creative, maybe we'll see some of that creativity next week against Rivers, who's literally a statue in the pocket.
