On almost any given play, you can expect the Jacksonville Jaguars defense to rush just four players and drop linebackers and secondary players into coverage that is not necessarily complex.
Well, at least you could over the last few seasons. Predictably, opposing offensive coordinators could game plan around that predictability and let their quarterback go to work.
The Jags’ defense has finished 29th, 22nd, and 25th against the pass over the last three seasons. They’ve been among the worst in the NFL as an overall defense, allowing the opposition to execute their game plan rather than taking the fight to them and forcing the offense to play to the defense’s strengths and tone.
