Jacksonville defense struggling mightily this season
I'm expecting a game plan closer to Dallas/Seattle than Tampa. Their offense plays right into our defensive strengths:
- We can stop the run without selling out for it
- They're largely one-dimensional in the pass game with Chark (meet Mr. Lattimore)
- A lot of Minshew's positive plays have been broken plays/scrambles, and the Saints have played fantastic contain on QBs so far this year
If I were Payton I'd be going in thinking we can win this game largely with defense, ST, and our running game. Heavy dose of AK and a bit of Murray. If we don't control the game all the way through, open it up a bit as necessary. But I feel good about our chances this week. The Jags are easily the worst team on our schedule so far.
