Jump balls were a staple for the Jacksonville Jaguars offense in 2015. Allen Robinson was the preeminent receiver in that regard, bringing down ball after ball for big gains and making it all look too easy.
The circus catches continued through the 2016 preseason and Robinson looked ready to deliver for the 2016 regular season. We noted that he needed to improve his catch rate and expected him to take another step in year three.
Instead, we’ve seen Robinson taken out of games and winning his matchups less than he wins them thus far.
Robinson has predictably been the top target for the Jaguars (20 targets through two games) but has only hauled in nine passes (three-way tie for second on the team).
