Shaquille Barrett leads the NFL in sacks but he has some help in the trenches

The Jaguars’ offensive line will have their hands full on the perimeter Sunday. They’ll be up against the league’s co-leader in sacks in Shaquille Barrett, who has been unblockable as a pass rusher and has accumulated 12.5  sacks to his name. That said, tackles Cam Robinson and Jawaan Taylor will have to have big days in order to keep Nick Foles upright.

However, Barrett isn’t the only player having a productive season on the Bucs’ defensive line. Nose tackle Vita Vea has also looked much improved this season and could give the interior of the line fits in the run game. Opening up holes for Leonard Fournette will be key to getting the offense going. The team can’t let Vea ruin their plans because the Jags have struggled immensely when Fournette doesn’t have a strong day.
