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+ |

Much MUCH better on fundamentals, tackling and overall "attitude".
Middle of the pack D is what we asked for, middle of the pack D is what we probably got - and we may improve as the season progress. They won't be able to run the clock as they did last year, so who knows... |

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.

I am dissappointed in the two 4th qtr garbage time TD's, but there is hope for this defense. I keep reminding myself it is gonna take a few weeks for this defense to develop its chemistry and gel.
