Jaguars Week 2 X-Factor: DE Tyson Alualu

The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to populate the win column in Week 2 as the team prepares to play the Miami Dolphins. The interstate rivals feature two inexperienced and/or underwhelming guards that could be challenged by the Jaguars interior pass rush.

With defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks likely to be sidelined again for Sunday, replacement Tyson Alualu could serve as the Jaguars "X-Factor" in Week 2. The former first round pick played well against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 and could be a very disruptive force against the Dolphins.

Dolphins left guard Dallas Thomas could face an uphill battle against the crafty veteran, who was a standout during the preseason and training camp.
