The Jacksonville Jaguars' offense may be even better than we thought
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been an impressive team in the NFL for the last year or so. They made some good draft picks and built this roster the right way.
They were underwhelming in 2021 and many people were already giving up on what they were doing. It didn’t help that they started 2-6 in 2022 either.
From there, however, they went on a run. They were so good that they ended up coming all the way back to win the AFC South Division. That meant they got to host a playoff game.
From there, they went on to win said playoff game in amazing comeback fashion. Usually, when you go down 27-0, you end up losing the game. Not the Jaguars!
All of that noise came on the back of their offense. Yes, the defense had to step up in a big way at times but the offense is the engine that runs this Jaguars machine.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of faith in their amazing offense.
Of course, their offense is led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He is booming into one of the best and most impactful players in the National Football League.
People believe this offense is going to be good. However, based on what we’ve seen in camp and the preseason is that they are going to be even better than we thought.
For one, they retained Evan Engram. Having a top-flight receiving tight end seems to be important in the NFL these days. Think about how often you see Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Dallas Goedert in the playoffs. Engram can be impactful like that.
During the off-season, they also saw Calvin Ridley be reinstated. That is huge news for them after taking the risk and trading for him while he was suspended. He is certainly going to be their number-one target this year.
Guys like Christian Kirk and Zay Jones should be really good second and third options as well. If this trio can produce to the best of their individual abilities, they will have one of the top WR rooms in the league.
With Trevor Lawrence slinging all of these guys passes through the air attack, they are going to be dangerous. However, it is their running game that may push them over the edge this year.
We know how good Travis Etienne is after last season. Having a top running back like that is amazing. Now, having a very good second back is what makes us think that their offense can be even better than we thought.
Tank Bigsby is looking like someone who may be in line to be the biggest steal of the 2023 NFL Draft. He has made a significant impact on this squad so far and we can only hope it translates into the regular season. There are plenty of reasons to think it will.
All of these weapons at the disposal of an elite QB is how divisions are won and can lead to big playoff moments. Hopefully, this offense does reach new heights and helps the Jaguars win a ton.
