The Key to the Season - Travon Walker

#1

Not an often poster, but always lurking and following our beloved Jags.  I've also been listening to the local talking heads and thinking a lot about where we stand coming into the season.

I feel like Doug and Trent have done a commendable building this team to where it is today.  While there are plenty of areas for improvement, the biggest glaring needs to me are at CB and pass rusher, which tells me one thing, we may have issues stopping the pass this year.  That's not a good area to be lacking in today's passing league, especially with the murderers row of AFC QBs.  The team has super bowl aspirations, but this could and likely will be the reason if the team falls short.  The rest of the team feels pretty solid, although I think the OL could be a little stronger.  We still have the rest of Free Agency to fill some gaps, but the team is largely built as it stands.

With that said, I think Travon Walker is the biggest piece of the puzzle we need to come through for us this year.  He has the physical tools and opportunity to make a giant leap this year and boy do we need it!  I think at this point, we know what we can expect out of the rest of pass rushers, but Travon's contributions this year will be huge and really season defining IMO. A lethal pass rush changes everything and can easily compensate for secondary deficiencies.  If the rest of the team performs as we expect, we GOT TO HAVE huge improvements from Travon if we want to achieve the goal this year.

Hope he's busting his butt this offseason and comes through huge, as we would expect from a #1 pick.  I think, in oversimplified terms, our season comes down to what he can do on the field this year.

Agree, bash, or indifference - your thoughts are welcomed!  Go Jags!!!
