Will our Tight Ends become more important targets vs the Jags?

Brown, Ju-ju, and Bryant, vs. the Jag's DB's. It's going to be a good matchup, but you have to wonder if Ramsey or another Jag's DB is going to make a play and how Ben would react if there is an early interception.

With all of the attention to our star WR's and possibly Bell out of the backfield, McDonald and James I think should be used a bit more.
 
McDonald is a difference make when healthy. but sean davis sucks
 
Dump offs and short passes to Bell will be huge. Back when we played them the last time, we weren't doing that along with not using the hurry up, no huddle plays. And, I do think our TE's will get many looks from Ben.

Look for Davis to recover a botched long snap from Colin Holba, and take it the distance for six!

That damn Davis dough.
 
James has been playing well when McDonald is not on the field but he doesn't have great hands. Too many drops. Hopefully the bye week got McDonald healthy

did you just say something positive abut davis? holy ****
 
We need to use the TEs and Bell out of the backfield, Jax is going to sell out to stop the run, so we need to back them off.

Definitely get TEs involved maybe in a little play action, misdirection throwing back the other way type plays to get them loosened up

I also want to see Ben target AB early. You know AB is tired of hearing about how great Jalen Ramsey is and will want to show out against the kid. Get AB involved and happy, show Ramsey we aren't going to let his reputation and trash talking get in our heads, and just attack the hell out of them rather than be scared

I'm assuming you mean McDonald doesn't have great hands because Jesse has way better hands then McDonald and catches almost everything thrown his way.

For their careers, Jesse has a much better catch to drop ratio. It's not even close.

Vance is more explosive and a better blocker.

Use em both!

No. I said James has the dropsies. He's dropped way too many balls lately. Maybe his confidence took a hit because of the Al Riveron ruling, but we can't afford to have him drop balls.

McDonald has also had issues with drops, but he's also had much bigger receptions when he's been healthy.
 
Bryant Juju Bell Vance all have to be used to move the chains if they can get separation on their 1-1 it will allow Brown to work the middle easier. getting Bryant 5-6 catches will be key same for JUJU and if between james and and Vance we can get combined 6-8 catches and say 7 from Brown and Bell 4 and ben can go estimate 25-33 280 2 TD 0 intc and bell 22 105 1 TD, ridley 9-35 we should win the t.o.p and our D will be ready. last time we played we just ran the 2-4-5 with no Tuitt, now with the 3-2-6 AS THE secondary less gaps for Fornette going vs Tuitt Hargrave Heyward a better vs run Dupree Williams and eithier Spence or slide Gay as a LB with in the secondary burns Haden Mitchell and Golden(capble of playing SS.

I like James. He isn't flashy but he's got grit and makes very good catches. I agree, he seldomly drops passes. Don't get me started on that TD...lol. He's a warrior and brings it game in and game out. He stays healthy and he does make the tough catches.
 
We didn't run well in the first game, so at least early in the game the priority will be for the TE's to block.
