Dude averages 3.7 YPC for his career. He was at 3.3 last year and was on his way to healthy scratch territory. Any sort of in-depth analysis of the Jags offense last season was that it was less efficient and less productive with him on the field than it was with TJ Yeldon. Fournette ain't good, man. The Jags were never a threat to win. They shouldn't have been - the Chiefs are MUCH better than they are. And winning in a cakewalk with a 1-footed QB and your top offensive weapon injured makes that clear. Especially when the pass-rush DIDN'T perform. But the Chiefs are a contender and when the SB is your bar to clear, everything should come with heightened importance. The Cardinals can go out there and tie the Lions and claim a moral victory because their rookie QB didn't puke on his shoes. The Colts can go out there with Brissett, push the Chargers to OT and be pleased with their performance. Because neither of those squads are relevant. The Chiefs...well they need to see where they were struggling and ignoring some of the issues from yesterday because they hung a W doesn't help there.

On a positive note, Nate Taylor talked about it in his article today and the defense knows they weren't good enough for sure.

We recognize that the Chiefs can rotate any running back in with some success given their weapons and coaching, so it only seems natural that Fournette should actually get some uplift given the abysmal supporting cast. I would take Fournette over Williams and McCoy on an apples-to-apples talent basis without hesitation. |

Just look at the clip on the sack from Ogbah - exactly what the **** was Clark even trying to accomplish there? He literally just puts his head down and pushes into the LT's chest. Doesn't see what he's trying to find, doesn't even try to use his hands to hand-fight. He just rushes upfield, the LT does a basic kick-out and Clark decides it's time to look like Allen Bailey and do...nothing. And no, there was no double there (the double was clearly on Jones) - it was just a 3rd string LT taking on Clark and fairly easily removing him from the play. Yeah, he needs to get a LOT better.

For much of the game they looked like last years Defense however this years defense unlike last years made some stops at a critical juncture where last years defense always found a way to blow a big lead making the game close and the offense would have to go out and win it again.
I think this defense will improve but waant the argument as long as it's a little better than last years that's good enough? |

They didn't play much base, Hitchens played 100% of the snaps, Wilson was at like 85 and Darron Lee played like 10 plays as the 3rd LB.

Looks like he wanted to go outside but saw the chip coming and just put his head down and bull rushed. |

Looks like he tried a basic bull rush. But maybe he was keeping an eye on the RB about to peel off |

SNR referenced how Jones was getting early penetration. I almost wonder if they didn't start sliding protection towards Jones and away from Clark once they saw that Clark wasn't really doing anything out there. I don't expect 20 sacks from Clark but he has to be a credible enough threat that teams can't abuse Jones like they do in that clip. I mean the poor dude has no shot if he's gonna get that kind of attention. And if Clark can't punish them for that kind of mediocre talent at OT, Jones is gonna get that kind of attention on every snap. It'll be a long year for a guy entering FA and don't think for a minute he won't see that play when they're running film. Very few guys will just defeat a double team (I mean, you'd think for $20 million Clark could, but I'm just piling on now), but he at least needs to be good enough against a single blocker to draw the double on fair occasions. Clark needs a lot more help than he got there and the Jags essentially treated Clark on that rep like he was Breeland Speaks.

He tried to jump or something it looked like, had he just kept pushing he pushes the LT into the QB.
I'm not exactly overly joyed by the deal, but I think you're being a bit overly harsh here DJ. |

This is the when the Patriots have the annual loss in Miami and patsfans lose their minds and the Patriots go to the SB anyhow.
