Evaluate the Defense Game #1
 

I thought they looked improved from several aspects. Keep in mind this was Jax and not a high-powered offense.

Tackling = Much, MUCH better

Coverage = Tighter. Few plays without a defender right on the WR

Run Defense = Stellar start, let's not get cocky

Pass Defense = Not a ton of pressure today. Missed a huge sack which ended up leading to a TD. Coverage overall was decent. Made a backup look all-world but that happens when a backup comes in mid-game.

Overall it looked like we were more sound fundamentally. Run gaps were getting filled, screens were getting blown up and not a ton of YAC. Hopefully as the season progresses our defense will as well.

Overall grade today: C+

Frank Clark has more picks than Jalen Ramsey!

Not terrible, not great.

Patriots will destroy our defense

The price of PP just went up.

Fingertips away from a pick 6 with that tip

Run defense and tackling were much improved.

Lots of blown assignments in coverage. Time will tell is Spags can fix those issues.

Initial reactions:

DL = good run stopping, no pass rush.
LB = seemed okay in short areas, decent against run
DB = forest fire

B-

Run defense was much improved other than one drive, where they got gashed in nickel.

Jags hit some passes, but they were holding a lot, especially Jones.

We'll be fine.

I think they played pretty vanilla against their backup, to be honest.

Thought Clark would dominate today.

Didn't look that great against a rookie backup.

When the game was in the balance, when it was 23-13, they made the plays to bring home the W in conjunction with the offense responding to those stops with scores.

That's the standard I always judged Sutton on.

They keep that up and we'll be a hard team to deal with.

C-

DBs ****ing sucked, Ward in particular.

Surprised Honey Badger was invisible.
