I'm with you. We discussed how different week 6 was in their scheme and philosophy in this pod (held the ball longer & played a much less "clean" game than vs the Chiefs)
Not 3rd Downs, Early Downs! Breaking Down the Jaguars’ Biggest Issue on O

Yes, the #Jaguars struggled on 3rd downs, but that's not the storyline. "Why," is the better question @thesotg.bsky.social

I keep seeing and hearing everyone talking about how terrible the Jaguars, Seahawks broadcast was on Sunday. I didn't hear it, since I was at the stadium.

What was wrong with it?

Jacksonville actually I think has the idea for protection down on this SEA sim pressure, full sliding to the big guys on the left, but LeQuint Allen is late getting to Emmanwori and Lawrence is forced off his spot
None really. Wouldn't be surprised by much right now, honestly. WR, DE, DT, TE, or nothing... 🤷🏿‍♂️
Okay, the first moves had my curiosity. Now, with this, there's legitimate space for a real substantive move (or multiple smaller moves for the #Jaguars) 👀

#TealSky
With LB Devin Lloyd ruled out, #Jaguars LB Ventrell Miller will presumably get his first 2025 start after filling in versus the #Seahawks, ending second on the defense with 6 tackles
Per NFL Pro, the only QBs with over a 50% completion rate on passes over 20-yards in the air

1) Drake Maye: 76.9% (13 att)
2) Sam Darnold: 72.2% (18 att)
3) Matt Stafford: 54.5% (22 att)
4) Lamar Jackson: 50.0% (14 att)

Justin Herbert & Trevor Lawrence are tied at 28th with 17 attempts at 23.5%
AFC South Strength of Schedule (games played so far):

▪︎ The 1-5 #Titans: 20-16 (.556)
▪︎ The 4-2 #Jaguars: 18-17 (.514)
▪︎ The 2-3 #Texans: 15-15 (.500)
▪︎ The 5-1 #Colts: 14-22 (.389)

#TealSky
The #Jaguars left Sunday's matchup 20th of 27 in yards per attempt (6.1 yards) while being 25th of 27 in time to throw (3.1 seconds)

IE: This wasn't all on the OL. A true team loss from WR drops, penalties, no run game, defensive explosives surrendered, special teams, & QB

Btw, in McVay's system, the QB, not the Center sets the protections. I assume it is the same in Jax, though I haven't confirmed

When I said, "IDK why everyone is keying in on Monheim" the numbers support it. Sure, he didnt play perfectly, but he wasnt even a top 3 issue of the 5 OL

Folks just had their pregame takes that if they struggled up front it was his fault & he's a 7th rounder, so 🤷

This wasn't a game for WRs to struggle getting open, for the QB to be slow in progressions, or later developing plays. This wasn't the game for a running QB. This front was more complete than any they'd played. OL struggled, but was often a slower/off schedule passing operation
As further support here, the numbers are in: Per NFL Pro, the Seahawks on Sunday had a 2.73 avg time to pressure

Like I said postgame, this was a known known heading into the matchup that Seattle was a front that would get home in 2.7 seconds. They did. Ball has to be gone
The #Seahawks entered week 6 with the league's 26th ranked time to pressure at 2.78 seconds via NFL Pro

#Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence’s avg time to throw on Sunday was 3.1 seconds, per
@NextGenStats

He was sacked 7 times & pressured 33 times
