Only one current Jags starter remains from the last meeting in 2015

The Jaguars have seen a massive roster turnaround since their last matchup with the Dirty Birds.

Since the Jags’ last meeting against the Falcons, the Jaguars will only have one starter from their 2015 game going into Sunday in defensive tackle Abry Jones. The Jaguars would have had another player from that game in All-Pro linebacker Telvin Smith, but Smith shockingly decided to step away from football for the 2019 season.

Jones recorded only one tackle that game as he was more of a rotational player at the time but has now transitioned into a starter for this season.

To put things into perspective, the Falcons boast eight starters from the last game against the Jaguars in 2015. Those players are 2016 NFL MVP quarterback Matt Ryan, seven-time Pro Bowl and two-time All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones, two-time Pro Bowl running back Devonta Freeman, former Pro Bowl offensive lineman Jake Matthews, Pro Bowl defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, former Pro Bowl and All-Pro linebacker Vic Beasley Jr., former Pro Bowl defensive back Desmond Trufant and Ricardo Allen.

The Jaguars will look to make sure that their new faces are enough to take down some proven talent in the Atlanta Falcons.
