Jags Pass-Rush Falters: Can They Ignite Against Patriots?
23 Sep
Summary
- Jaguars' pass-rush struggled significantly against the Broncos.
- Offensive line faces another challenge against elite pass rushes.
- Bhayshul Tuten is emerging as the lead running back.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to rebound from a Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos, with several key areas needing improvement. The team's pass-rush struggled against the Broncos, generating only six pressures despite frequent blitzing. Coach Coen noted the Broncos' effective use of play-action, bootlegs, and screens limited opportunities for the defensive line.
Compounding these issues, the Jaguars' offensive line allowed a high pressure rate against Denver, with all five starters experiencing quick losses. This performance raises concerns about their ability to hold up against elite defensive fronts, a challenge they will face again against the Patriots.
In the backfield, running back Bhayshul Tuten has steadily gained more touches and snaps, outperforming Chris Rodriguez Jr. Tuten's increased involvement suggests he is emerging as the primary ball carrier, a trend the Jaguars appear likely to continue.
