The ugly

The run game

The Jags, a team who is supposed to be a run-first team, has been anything but that as of late. That was once again the case in Sunday’s game against the Raiders as they registered just 77 yards on the ground.

Part of the reason for the Jags’ pedestrian rush figures as of late is due to the team falling behind so quickly at times. At other times it seems as though John DeFilippo gets away from the run too easily when it’s not working out. Additionally, the offensive line hasn’t been all that good and there have also been times where Leonard Fournette could have more of a “take what you can get” mentality.

Regardless as to which one of the aforementioned reasons you agree with one thing is clear: the Jags’ run game likely won’t be improving before the season ends.
