New looks have already happened with the front seven this preseason and with Allen and Capers in the mix I fully expect that to continue. That will include different pressure packages than the chefs have seen from this defense. 

I don’t think they’ll do anything radical in the secondary this week given the opponent, but I don’t think they’ll shy away from an adjustment or two if the chefs are picking on a particular mismatch or soft spot.

I don't buy anything in the preseason. I'm going to hold all judgement until the regular season begins and I see these new looks. Marrone and company are not very creative. They tend to stick with what they know to a fault. Hopefully the addition of Capers/DeFilipo gives the Jags some new and creative looks.

Yes, it's astounding that Marrone served as Sean Payton's OC because none of that creativity rubbed off on him. Todd Wash is about as vanilla as it gets. I wish Capers could take over the defense. There are a lot of pass-rush options for his zone-blitz scheme. Josh Allen could be his Clay Matthews/TBrack to move around wrecking havoc.
