With Gardner Minshew as their starter, they're now in the "Tank for Tua" sweepstakes. This offense wasn't good to begin with, and now they're only getting worse. Their defense has talent, but absolutely zero discipline, they'll kill themselves before they win football games. A year ahead of schedule, so no Trevor Lawrence. I'm happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a 122 rating today. I am not sure if that means he is not awful or that KC's defense is going to be horrific this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it will be a less than stellar defense - but it's also a case of "we have no film/no prep for this guy" with Minshew. He went off script a lot, abs made some pretty good plays. This being said, with more film, you'll see defenses adjust for him, and he doesn't have the athleticism or arm talent to work around that. The Tennessee or Houston defense should hold a bit more firm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Minshew looked really really far away from what I saw in the preseason. I was surprised he was getting a #2 job. But, he seems to have held up much better in his first real game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville has WRs that Houston can match up against, and a pass rush that'll force the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I was watching this game. Foles got hurt on a great throw for a TD. The Jags backup QB looked pretty good today and you can just tell Fournette looks very good and in shape as well. I think the bigger concern is their defense, which looked pretty bad today in certain situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Fournettes life just got a lot harder cause Minshew's not gonna scare LB's off the field or out of the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is a WR unit with Marquise Lee, DJ Chark and Dede Westbrook. Chark and Westbrook had good games today, but neither is a guy who will dictate coverages at any point in a game. You'll leave both on an island if you think you can anticipate a blocking scheme and bring extra blitzers and get a sack/force a bad throw. A defense can stack the block and overload a side on a blitz on every play and render the Jags O basically ineffective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
