Mojo gives a brutal analysis of the Jags' season.

#87

I can get behind a lot of what Mojo said.  


getting rid of D Smith.  Mistake we really could have used him those first two years with gus

getting rid of G Jones.  I get it, older player coming to the end of his career playing a position that is underutilized

getting rid of e. Monroe.  I get it, was on a contract year wanted to be paid more than he was worth we were going into a draft with a high pick and what seemed to be at the time in the perfect position to get a longterm fixture at the position.  Unfortunately that pick turned out to be a joke

Knighton.  We probably should have picked him up for about 3 mil a year for 4 years with bonuses bringing that number up to 5 a year if incentives met.  The guy has been a serviceable player everywhere he has been since he left.


As far as 15 Bortles and Arob being garbage time players I'm not sure I agree.  


Bortles assessment.  I think he got hurt early in the year.  The game he had against the Packers was nothing like how he has played the rest of the season.  Regardless he needs to clean up his mechanics, throw a cleaner ball, make better decisions, and get better protection from the offensive line.  I've actually been okay for the most part about his decision making, but his accuracy causes it to look flawed at times.  He operates under pressure pretty good but playing teams that have guys like Clowney, Miller, Mack.  make him look worse than he easy because our Oline is completely overmatched in those games.  

 

Lee stud


Hurns Dropped a lot of balls this year and spent too much time hurt mainly due to Bortles throwing badly.


Arob.  seems last year he was matched up against faster smaller corners that could mostly out run them and he got by outjumping them, this year it seems more like he is just getting bullied by bigger corners and double coverage.  Frankly he doesn't seem strong for a bigger receiver and he isn't fast enough to run by corners.  Some of it was garbage time last year but I don't buy it.  We took more chances, played worse corners, and weren't ignored by the refs.  This point of the season he has looked like he has given up.


Thomas has been a bum and injured all year, does not open up the offense, bobbles too many catches, and is used poorly by the offensive coordinator


Lewis was used correctly and played great in my opinion before being hurt


Sterling & Koyack.  Look the part of a really good 2&3 TE or 2&2 I think Sterling has the upside of being a dominate TE when he grows more into his body and skillset.  I've been mostly impressed with how these two late round picks have played.


Oline.  I'm a fan of Linder, Beachum, Shatley

on the fence about Cann.  The rest are what I consider garbage.


basically our offense has been bad because it hardly run blocks, doesn't stand a chance passblocking dominant fronts.  Has had its design decimated by injuries to TE, Interior OL, and RB.


the fixes are better Oline.  New qb, or a cleaned up mechanics Bortles.  Thomas/Lewis replacement.  For Lee and new Te/Sterling to take the more physical corner or safety away from Arob.  And a ton more combo routes to help the receivers get open.


tl dr.  Mojo's analysis isn't too far off.


Go Jags!
*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17
2016 draft players I think will be good
  • On the Fournette train, will be best back of his class 3/6/17
  • Lattimore please,  Lockdowns on both sides would be nice
  • Engram at TE and the MJD clone Samaje Perine
