VERY Unique Jags Stat...How will we handle the inside run game?

[foozool13]

3. No team runs the ball more between the guards than the Jaguars. In fact, no one is close. The Jags have 210 rushes up the middle; no other team has even 150 such rushes (the league average is 101). It's by far the team's sweetspot, as Jacksonville has rushed to the left and right a grand total of 126 times. Kinda quirky.

This is a very unique stat that the Jags have considering that they have 60 more runs up the gut than any other team. That basically 2 - 3 games worth of runs. A lot of teams like to hit the edges but it looks like we have our hands full on the inside runs. Without Ferguson this could really present a problem for us with Solai. I think this game could be used as a barometer on whether Solai can be our furture NT or not.

Wasn't aware of that. Definately something to keep an eye out for.

Good find. :up:

This will also be a big test for our inside linebackers.

With our two tackling dummies: Crowder & Ayodele.

jones drew gets lost behind all those big bodies, also runs with power, good back. I wonder how many of those runs got bounced outside??

MJD is great at breaking the first level and using his speed to get to the outside on the second level. He is small and can be hard to lacate for our outside LBs. Hopefully Soliai's fat @ss can hold his ground and maybe Crowder and Ayodele have a good game.

We will find out in about three hours.
