Aside from the obvious players, I'll start off with Vince Williams. If he can stop the run, Jacksonville is in trouble. Go Vince go!

My second pick is McDonald. He should be able to get open and cause some damage with the Jag's focusing on Brown, Ju-Ju, and Byrant. And of course he will block well.
 
Watching the play offs only one game was not a defensive game. This defense needs to step up and not give up these extra yards on plays stopped as well as the third and long downs.
 
Heyward, Tuitt, Watt, and Dupree. We have got to do a good job of settting the edge tomorrow, and in that week 5 game, Dupree had zero respect for doing so. Add that in with Bortles coming in thinking he's the next Michael Vick, we can't leave massive lanes open for cutbacks or for Bortles to move around. Our outside linebackers have to elevate their games a bit (Watt not so much, as he's been great). Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Dupree give Bortles the "Matt Moore Treatment" on a play in which he scrambles. Heyward and Tuitt(or Alualu, if he gets more snaps) have to bring their A games as well for essentially the same reasons.
 
Time to put big boy pants on and play with mental toughness. Specificly the O- Line, and our Defensive LB's and Secondary. IDK if metakevich lost his role to Spence or if he has been dinged up . But whoever plays that position has to fill those shoes of Shazier, and fly around and make plays.
 
Small ball it like the Pats. Stay ahead of the chains. Limit turnovers. Make them march a long field.
