Quote:Why was Ngakoue covering a WR way downfield?

Why was Poz covering Hilton on the TD pass?

Why are we running the WR out of bounds late in the game when we are trying to kill the clock?

Why wasn't Myles Jack on the field late in the game when he had been playing well?

Why was Joeckel starting even though his replacement came in and immediately started opening up running lanes?

Why is Davon House still starting?

 

I've seen this question about Jack before, so I will offer a theory.   Jack was playing strongside linebacker, which the Jags call the Otto, and since Indy was playing catch-up football, which meant they had to pass a lot, we were probably in nickle defense, which takes the Otto off the field. 

 

Just an educated guess on my part.  

 

You have to remember, the Otto is only on the field less than 40% of the time, and the nickle defense,which is played in the NFL about 60% of the time, does not employ a strongside linebacker,  or Otto as we call it.
