Jaguars Wide Receivers vs Pittsburgh Secondary Sans Ike Taylor
The Jaguars aren’t the only secondary in the game with cause for concern. Starter Ike Taylor is out indefinitely with an arm injury. William Gay is a serviceable replacement, but the Jaguars would be wise to bring in multi-receiver packages to take advantage of the secondary without Taylor. Troy Polamalu isn’t what he once was and the unit as a whole only has one interception on the season. Blake Bortles should be able to get the ball to his receivers and they should be able to make some plays. Ace Sanders is returning from his suspension and will be looking to make a splash likely as the third receiver for the Jaguars. He is a dangerous, shifty back and will complement the big play ability and possession style of Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson.
