First and foremost..heres an article on the Jags D. I was impressed.

Now...Im not sure if they play a D that likes to blitz alot. However..with the swagger they carry, they dont seem like a team willing to let many teams score pre season or not. I think the starters will look to **tch slap our team around just for fun.
So, that being the case. What do we look for in our starting O line and Offense. If we can open up some running lanes against that interior tandem...we will have taken a big step forward. Obviously we need to give our QB's time. They have good blitzing linebackers...and they create pressure with their line itself. I think our guys will have their hands full Sat. So on the whole...I just want to see improvements. I think at times..we may look silly out there. But like last Monday..lets see if we can make adjustments. I thought we did a pretty good job of adjusting to the bears blitzing as the game wore on.
On D....We need to seriously put a clamp on these guys right from the beginning. They arent a very good offense. We will see very little Fred Taylor. Leftwich is a big boy who can chuck..but we should be able to line up with them. Its going to be interesting to see the enigma Matt Jones. Big boy who can fly. In fact both of their recievers, Jones and Reggie Williams are big. The Jags fired their OC from last year..and want to go with a more vertical passing attack to match up with Leftwichs strengths. That means pressure on him will be crucial..as we dont want to give him time to set up and chuck it down field for his recievers to go up and get. Look for a little more blitz package from Saban with the starters.
