A few things to chew on as we are days away from the week one debut. 

• Are Morse and Cleveland going to be enough to alter an OL that ranked 30th and 31st in pass protection and run blocking win rates last year? Where will they rank if they stay relatively healthy? 
  
• Is Doug really altering the run blocking scheme or was he just spitballing about it in those pressers?
  
• It appears we may never know who is really calling plays - see tweet below  (and I really don't care) Press Taylor is not a problem 
  
• Bigsby looks ready to spell ETN more effectively - and possibly even take on some short yardage power back style duty, but will they actually use him that way? You hear it from pundits, not from staff. 
  
• We've seen preseason flashes from several second year players, but what about Brenton Strange? Will he be more than an improved blocker this year? 
  
• Is this the season that TL (despite OL performances that may force him to scramble or improvise) reels in the flukey fumbles and red zone INTs? 
  
• When does BTJ begin to make impact? Will defenses respect his speed right away? Or will he need to haul in a few deep shots to make that happen? 
  
• Speaking of deep shots: The Pederson offense in Jax has had some pretty impressive play action plays for big chunk yardage but hasn't run them much due to pass protection issues. Can they ramp that up? Is that why we are seeing more snaps taken under center in the preseason?

They were 10th in 2022 and dipped down to 13th in 2023, which, fairly impressive to me considering the injuries across the board, especially at QB and WR. This is a top 10 offense.

Also, interesting you shared Shadrick's tweet. I mentioned this in the other thread the other day. It keeps coming up. I think, personally, Taylor should be the play caller again. With an improved and healthier start along the offensive line, and, some promising looks under center, something they rarely have done since Lawrence has been here.

This offense is poised to explode in a good way.

Your last point about the deep passes is a great point. You go back to the playoff year, that crazy run, we were down in so many of those games and just went aggressive and were getting huge chunks of those plays. You need those 4-5 play scoring drives. If your constantly having to make 10 play drives just 1 mistake will kill it.

I'd love for the Oline to be elite but we just need to them be competent. Just do the basics, open up a running lane and give Lawrence a pocket for 4-5 seconds. O's are built on rhythm and it's so hard when plays can't develop or run as planned as straight away Trevor is scrambling. And then the play they do give him time, it's hard to execute as your not in that rhythm or your expecting pressure as it happened on the last 3 plays.

If the Oline can be competent, so much starts to click which makes it easier for the Oline.

I'm surprised how many votes are for an average offense.

Yea but howmany of those votes do you think are from actual fans of this team? I'd bet none. Or they just don't pay attention and have zero clue.

I’m predicting the offense to be in the 12th-15th range. Cleveland’s offseason with the team should give us a small boost and Morse seems to be fitting in, so I would go with yes on that question.

Spitballing is all Dougie does. Yes on Bigsby in power situations. Strange had a couple of nice pancake blocks last year and helped spring a few long runs. I would like to see them get Strange more involved in the passing game, especially down there in the redzone matched up against a LB.

Also Parker Washington needs some touches in open space, and he don’t need much room at all to go to work. He might have more wiggle than Swagnew.

I think Lawrence knows what is expected of him and he is going to get BTJ involved early as possible. That 4.3 speed is a QBs best friend and they appear to have a good connection.

As far as Press Taylor, his calls are just fine. It’s just the timing and feel of the game, so they are bringing him down from the box and putting him on the sideline this year. I think it’s going to make all the difference in the world to give him a better feel of what players see and communicate.

This is our year.

I'm predicting them to hoover around #10, give or take.

Have you people learned nothing about predicting anything with this team?

freudian typo, I get that we've sucked in recent years along the line.

---

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

---

I went top 10. I think they have the potential to be top 5 by late season as BTJ matures, but it also depends on the OL as well. Top 10 is a safe bet I believe.

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

Have you people learned nothing about predicting anything with this team?

Have your people learned nothing about the Jaguars coming off back to back winning seasons after 2 decades of taking L’s and crap. We deserve good vibes and the feels goods.
