Marcell Dareus – Defensive Tackle

The Jaguars have not been very good at stopping the run. In fact, they have allowed the most yards per carry among any team in the NFL. Marcell Dareus is going to have to be one of the key players coming into this week because the Jaguars need to stop the run.

Though there are many reasons as to why Jacksonville’s run defense has been so poor, Dareus is not without blame. He is a very important and very talented player so look for him to lead the defense and make a few stops this week.

CincinattCincinnatie a very talented running back in Joe Mixon who can carve a defense outside and in between the tackles. If the Bengals ever decide to run towards Dareus, he needs to be there and make the stop. Look for him to have two tackles for loss this week and maybe even a sack, helping out with our pass rush as well.
