The Ravens played their base D on 71% of the snaps Sunday. They've only played in their base on 36% of the snaps the entire season up until yesterday,  because they got back their elite run stuffing NT, Williams.  So Baltimore really loaded up to stop the run and the game was over in the 3rd Q.  They played a heavy front 9  twice as often against TN and TN still scored three red zone TD's.  Balt had 9 in the box all game.  Prior to that game TN was 31 st in the red zone because of all the injuries on offense.   Adorre Jackson made his first appearance on offense so they are beginning to show that they have a package for him like KC had for Hill.  Jags run D is still not well.  I am interested to see how Jax handles Gurley.  The Rams are going to pound the rock that week so if Jax stops him it is a good sign.  Dareus in my mind is not a solution.  Jay Ajayi ran for over 200 twice with him playing.  Right now TN is not a good match up for Jax because Jax has to stop the run and Mariota has been hurt.  When he has his wheels he is a night mare for them to defend and he threw well against them and Sea.  His game against Seattle was very good.  It is also the last time he was healthy.

Dareus has already had a positive effect on the run game defense in Jax and will likely continue to do so.  He may not be a sole solution, but he fills a glaring need in our base D as we didn't have a true NT with his skillset and size. 
Let us know if you all can hold Mixon to 31 yards next week. Or better yet, hold the bengals to 37 total offensive snaps.

Marcell Dareus posted a 40% run stuff rate for #Jaguars, easily the highest of Week 9. Second place was 25% #NextGenStats (min. 5 run plays)

The Jags run D took a big step forward Sunday, but they'll need to prove it's more than a fluke against a depleated O-Line.  We'll see. 

Gurley already ran all over the Jags weeks ago.  It's Melvin Gordon they'll be dealing with next.  Should be a better test than cincy gave them. 

Looking forward to the tacks and Jags rematch in seven weeks.  Cheers.
