I absolutely expect Sean Payton to school him too this weekend. After that though they've got a stretch of three games where they could and SHOULD win out. 

They should be able to beat the Bengals and Jets. Those two teams are competing for the number one overall pick this year with Miami by the looks of it. And then they get the tinhorns in London which should be an interesting game but based on the first match up this should be another game where if they all show up and do their [BLEEP] jobs on defense they'll come back to Jacksonville with a three game win streak to rest up for what looks to be a tough [BLEEP] Indy clots team. 

5 - 4 before the bye week. It's doable. I keep saying it but this team has a 1996 vibe to them. They'll get streaky hot and streaky cold this year. As Minshew gets more starts as a rook the game should continue to slow down a bit more for him. And hopefully he can improve on 3rd down's to keep this sorry [BLEEP] defense off the field.

Well that's the thing. The Jags got absolutely abused this Sunday on the ground so maybe they are fired up and actually put together a good defensive gameplan. Jack, Harrison and the LBs need to do a much better job next week and I think they will.

My main issue here is Lattimore. He has shut down Cooper and Evans the last two weeks and it's clear Chark is our #1.

Lattimore is a good CB. On the flip side. I am ABSOLUTELY concerned with Michael Thomas lining up on anybody in this secondary not named Jalen Ramsey. Bouye got burned on a critical 3rd down yesterday. Herndon is hit or miss. I expect Michael Thomas to work the middle of the field and I am willing to bet they're going to get this defense flowing towards him which will undoubtedly allow Kamara to sneak out the back door. 

As good as Lattimore is though. Minshew seemed to have no qualms about throwing it around against the #1 ranked pass defense yesterday. I don't think him and Flip are backing down from anybody. It's really going to boil down to Wash and this defense digging it's head out of it's [BLEEP] quickly to get this team where it ought to be.
