The Jacksonville Jaguars have a difficult matchup to start the season. Coach Doug Pederson plans on having his team ready for the challenge.
Last season, the Miami Dolphins led the National Football League in total yards per game and passing yards per game. The Dolphins' offense averaged the second-most points per game in the NFL last season, less than one point per game behind the Dallas Cowboys.By all accounts, the Jacksonville Jaguars are facing what was arguably the best offense in the NFL last season. Their potent offense features numerous talented pass catchers along with a quality play-caller.
“To kind of address the second part of your question there, this is a lot of team speed,” Pederson said. “These guys have got a lot of skill and ability, obviously, on offense, and they just know how to attack a secondary. We’ve revamped ours, and I think the scheme that Ryan has brought and Kris has brought, I think has really helped our guys.”
While Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, and Jonnu Smith are undoubtedly a formidable group of pass catchers, Coach Pederson believes it gives the Jaguars’ group of defensive backs a chance to step up. Pederson says he expects veteran cornerback Ronald Darby and the rest of the defensive backfield to compete to the best of their ability, as a large part of stopping the Dolphins is slowing containing their passing attack.
“We do have some young players back there that have, I would say, don't have a lot of game reps, but great opportunity for our guys to really focus on this week,” Pedersen said. “I look forward to Tyson and Darby and the guys to just compete and see what happens. But a lot of respect for Miami, a lot of respect for their skill positions, and even with their quarterback.
