Our 8 wins are Trevor making the line look good. 

I don't give a rat's [BLEEP] about good vs elite. Call him whatever the [BLEEP] you want. 

I'll ask again:

Would you rank the Jags OL in the lowest 20% of the league in both run blocking and pass protection?

Feel free to answer the [BLEEP] question this time.

I'm just going to repeat this for you:


Not that PFF is the end all be all of team analysis...  But check this out:  ?https://www.profootballnetwork.com/best-...-rankings/


The Jaguars and the Dolphins are in the bottom 3rd of the NFL in terms of O-Lines...  

Conversely, Atlanta is top 10 in O-Lines...

Oh the clots?  Also top 10, graded as 4th best.  And we [BLEEP] toasted them both times we played them...

Yet look at how well the clots are playing now.  And the Dolphins are a cinch for the playoffs.  Meanwhile, while we may not have a great O-Line, our O-Line is similarly as bad as the Dolphins, and yet the Dolphin's offense is still very dynamic...  Even with Tyree Hill out, they put the beat down on a Jet's D that is one of the great D's of the league...

Oh, and the Vikings also have a top 10 O-Line, and yet we have a better record they that team.

An O-Line, while important, can still be successful if the offensive scheme and play calling can keep defenses guessing.  When an offense is easy to read, it completely exposes

The Dolphins, Tua and Mike McDaniel's system are a very interesting outlier to study. 
You should look into the differences between McDaniel's scheme and Pederson's. 

Tua does a better job of hitting Hill and Waddle with very little pocket time than Trevor does targeting Ridley and Kirk etc with his similar low time. 

I also don't need you to show me PFF grades in order for me to see with my own damn eyeballs what mistakes our offense is making due to pressure and poor blocking. They make plenty of other errors, but this is significant and has been a consistent undercurrent in the vast majority of our games including last night even though you ridiculously tried to claim otherwise. 

We have a QB whose comp percentage is going to suffer when he can't operate on schedule more consistently.
He's not Mahomes, he's not Lamar, and there's only so much improvisation in his bag of tricks. 

Is what it is. 

You can compare him or the line to others, but this is OUR situation.
