Quick thoughts.
1. AR played well, I thought. He had some bad throws but not as many as I expected. He’s GOT to learn to dial it back though. He’ll never last like this.
2. The run game was bad but that’s what I expected. It wasn’t “let’s give JT 16 million a year” bad but it wasn’t good.
3. Shaq Leonard was invisible. He may as well have not played.
4. Good to see Defo get a touchdown. He deserves it.
5. Jags are overrated.
6. Franklin might be the best player on defense not named Buckner.
7. Rigo had a really bad game. So did the coverage unit. I think we’re going to miss Bubba Ventrone.
8. I thought the young cbs held up ok but I also felt like Jax didn’t really challenge them.
9. I don’t know what Stuard makes but he’s worth every penny on special teams. He’s fun to watch.
10. I liked Steichens aggressiveness but I feel like the execution was lacking. The hurry up on the failed 4th and 1 was unnecessary. Take some time and execute the play.
Overall, it was about what I expected. You can see the potential but they’re nowhere near ready yet. This season is a wash for me no matter what as long as AR develops.
