Chris has also talked in another article how Minshew is coming along with the playbook. He said that Minshew has had it for about a month now. He believes Gardner is getting a good grasp of it and says that Gardner will ask him questions in players only meetings. He says that Gardner will ask him questions about different things including what Jay is looking for when it comes to certain play calls, how he's going to play and what he expects routes to look like. Chris says that Gardner is asking the right type of questions.

And Chris is answering his questions/helping him. Chris says he will help the offense players on the Jags learn Gruden's offense. He says he thinks that Gardner is catching on well and that he will get it along with the other playmakers on the team. Chris believes that Jay will do everything he can to help Gardner succeed.

I wouldn't be surprised if this offense ended up looking good underneath Gruden. I'm glad that Gardner is getting a good grasp of the playbook and asking the right questions. It's good to have two players on the team like Thompson who will help him understand Gruden's offense. I'm looking forward to hearing/seeing more about what the Jags offense may look like/end up doing underneath him.

I really hope Shenault and the other guys not familiar with the offense picks it up quickly and has sufficient understanding of it to be one of those playmakers.  I would hate to think Chark could take such a big step forward last year, then lose the progress this year over not knowing enough of the offense.  For that matter, same with Minshew.
