Keys to winning v. the Jaguars Offense

RB1– After a Jaguars run to the Divisional round of the 2022 playoffs, national pundits and the sort heaped oodles of praise on QB Trevor Lawrence…and for good reason. He had reached HIM status and the next step was a Jacksonville Jaguars’ trip to the Super Bowl on his broad shoulders. But, a funny thing happened between then and now; RB Travis Etienne took over as the engine of the Jaguars offensive machine. Look, Lawrence is still an outstanding QB but in recent weeks, Etienne has been the driving force in this offense. His power. His speed. His receiving talents. He’s a three down running back and he’s a nightmare for defenses that don’t tackle exceptionally well. The Texans have had some tackling issues this year and that worries me when facing one of the top five RBs in the league and, arguably, Jacksonville’s most dangerous offensive weapon.

Ridley me this, Batman– After the Texans beat the Jaguars in week three in Jacksonville, there was plenty of talk in Jacksonville regarding the lack of BIG success for WR Calvin Ridley. He fumbled the ball away to the Texans on one drive. He had a couple of drops during the game as well. It seemed like there was more rust that needed to be knocked off, in all honesty. Also, there was the thought that the Jaguars needed to find the right way to use Ridley. Well, the rust is gone and the Jaguars have seemingly figured it out. Last week once morest the Titans, Ridley ruined them, to the tune of seven catches for 103 yards and, most importantly, two touchdowns. On his first touchdown, he ran a perfect corner route, left the DB in coverage and toe tapped for the touchdown in the back corner of the end zone. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence forced the ball to Ridley in the first matchup once morest the Texans and now he’s getting the ball to Ridley in the flow of the offense and the Texans need to take away those easy opportunities that the Titans gave to Ridley last week.

Cam’s Back– Jaguars OT Cam Robinson is Jacksonville’s best OL and he missed the first meeting serving an NFL suspension. He’s a major key to the performance of that offensive line and he’ll face Jon Greenard for a significant amount of the game. JG52 does a great job getting up under the pads of taller, more upright pass protectors, but Robinson will get nasty in the run game. So, Greenard has to set a mean edge once morest Robinson and the Jaguars OT will be challenged to stay agile and loose to handle all that Greenard brings to the pass rush party.
