4 Jacksonville Jaguars on defense that must step up vs Titans
. . Luq Barcoo, cornerback. 4. player. 52.
Sidney Jones is currently listed as questionable for the Titans game, which means that rookie cornerback Luc Barcoo will get plenty of playing time and perhaps even the starting nod if Jones isn’t good to go Sunday.
On one hand, it would be great to see Barcoo make his second start of the year after going undrafted in 2021’s Player Selection Meeting. On the other hand, the Jaguars wouldn’t have resorted to him if Jones C.J. Henderson, D.J. Hayden hadn’t been dealing with injuries. In 2020, the San Diego State product has allowed 11 receptions on 16 targets, good for a 68.8 completion rate.
3. player. 52. . . . Myles Jack, linebacker
Linebacker Myles Jack has been one of the most consistent, players for the Jaguars not only in 2020 but the past few seasons. This year, the defender has played in ten games and has registered 47 solo tackles, 38 assists, one forced fumble, and one interception in that span.
Moreover, Jack has been one of Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded linebackers in 2020 and was part of their Second-Team All-Pro team as recently as last week. The Jaguars will have a higher chance of winning this game if the veteran defender can come away with a few big plays.
