One of the things Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marone emphasized on Tuesday as the team returned to practice was the success the running back room is having so far during training camp. That’s a good thing considering how far the group fell as a unit toting the pigskin last season. The Jaguars continue to push a narrative of being a run-first team, which is why there were wholesale changes made to the group this offseason.
The five backs in camp offer much more versatility than in seasons past.
Marrone who outlined the team’s desire to run the ball more effectively in both OTA’s and mini camp said he is pleased with the work that the players put in not only in June but in the last week as well.
