Jacksonville Jaguars fans were spoiled with stud running backs like Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew. The team’s identity was formed at least in part behind their ground games and it helped mold the Jags into a tough team that could play physically, grind it out or break it for a big gain.
Since MJD’s 2011 season the Jags have struggled to re-discover that identity.
Ranking no higher than 21st in rushing offense since 2011, the Jags have gotten far away from the glory days of MJD and Taylor. Few of the offenses fielded since 2011 have even featured rushing attacks that threatened to score.
