Quote:Does anyone feel like this defense is 7th? I think the stats can be misleading.


The ranking is based of how many yards are reached by the opposing team. When there is a turnover committed by the Jags, in Jaguars territory, the opponent has less yards to go to make a score, as opposed to the opponent starting on their own 25. And there are no yards taken into effect for a Bortles pick 6. Hence, it is quite possible for an opponent to blow up the score board, and the Jags defense to have held them to less than average yards. And when the Jags have hardly any offense at all, and the opponents are 3 scores ahead, opponents are happy to do things like control the clock, play it safe, or even put in 2nd stringers.


Sorry, Wash sucks. The scheme sucks. We are in the bottom tier in several other defensive statistics, including points allowed.
