DC Todd Wash

The Jags had their second consecutive rough outing against the run and the team’s inconsistency in the category at this point is getting tiresome in the eyes of the fans. In a season where the Jags are already two games behind .500 and are running out of time to string some wins together for a playoff push, Todd Wash’s seat has to be getting hotter by the week.

In the Jags’ postgame presser, Jags coach Doug Marrone said the team tried everything to stop the run and nothing worked. The Jags also gave up some big plays in the passing game, including an embarrassing third-down and 19 situation where  running back Jonathan Williams was able to convert on the Jags o a screen play

Third and 19?

Clearly, Wash isn’t getting through to the Jags’ defensive unit on a week-to-week basis and Marrone can’t keep holding on to him if this continues to happen. After all Marrone’s job might be on the line, too.

With the Tennessee Titans coming up, things may only get worse against the Jags as Derrick Henry has had a great deal of success against them aside from their meeting that occurred earlier this season.

RB Leonard Fournette

The usage of Leonard Fournette since the London game has been quite puzzling. In Week 9’s international battle, he only got 11 carries, however, most expected that to change this week. For whatever reason, it didn’t and he received even less carries against the Colts (nine).

Clearly, the Jags success relies heavily on Fournette and if he’s a non-factor, then their chances to win are drastically low. Offensive coordinator John DeFilippo knows this more than anyone and can’t afford to not use arguably his best weapon going forward. If he doesn’t, we could be looking at a situation similar to the one he was in with the Minnesota Vikings, where there were issues DeFilippo and Mike Zimmer because of the lack of a rush attack.
