The core of every good Jaguar team was to play good defense and run the ball down the opponents throats.  That was true under Coughlin (Means, Taylor, Stewart, etc) and was true under JDR (Taylor, MJD.)

The Jags drafting the best Rb, best OT, and a beast of a FB tells the tale.   Excited to see what this team can do if it evolves from a weak vertical pass attack to a power run offense.

Its what we've needed so badly. This is a formula that works. Play action is going to be an absolute terror to defend against us now. Go look at the I formation sets in Miami with Marquez Williams. Dude flattens every one coming on a delay and gives extra time for his QB. The deep game is going to kill this year.

That power run game is going to come in handy when we are trailing by 28 in the 3rd quarter due to 2 BB5 pick-6s

It will also take some of the pressure off Blake. He shouldn't be throwing the ball 35 times. Hopefully fewer passes means fewer mistakes.

Been waiting for this style to finally come back to the Jags

If anyone should do it we should. I think the league has gotten so pass oriented that having an elite running game might be something most Ds can't defend against anymore.

So much this.


I've long thought the event horizon for Bortles is 30 attempts. Once you ctoss that line, you're more often than not playing with fire.

With a real play action threat and a time consuming run game, I doubt we will be getting in the same bad situations as we did in the past which made Blake push it.

Ebb and flow.

 

If everyone else is getting soft, take he opposite route and steamroll them.

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

Tennessee sort of did the same thing, taking some pressure off their QB with a strong OL, 2 big RBs and a solid defense.  Since TC arrived there has been a strong emphasis on Special Teams which I do not think is unwarranted.  Special Teams can certainly swing games and generate cheap points.  If you have 4 or 5 core players, Montel Owens type guys, then you can start to game-plan tricky formations, trick plays, etc.  Special Teams is a fundamental science as well as an art form.  I'm happy to see so much emphasis placed there.

Exactly. This old school approach will do well against the Colts' new addition. Malik Hooker don't want none of LF. And with defenses going more towards speed and less towards tackling, it's only a matter of time before we see a resurgence in the old school fullbacks and physical offenses. There's still a place for this kind of offense

10 years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Steve Jobs..... Please don't die, Kevin Bacon.

I think you will see an offense similar to the DG days. Run it all day with 4net and Ivory, ball control/sound defense. Blake will get 20-25 throws a game. Expect him to have a 15/25 2 TD 1-2 Int type game all year. I would not be shocked if he ended up with ~350 Attempts and around ~25 TDS and ~20 Ints.

If he throws 20ints next year while throwing way less passes then he needs to go.
