The Jets will spend this week dissecting the Jaguars’ defense, looking for holes in a unit that is fourth in the NFL in yards allowed and second in scoring defense.
While the coaches break down the Jaguars, the Jets’ front office should take note of how Jacksonville built this defense.
General manager Dave Caldwell began the building job and then vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin put the finishing touches on it last year. What they have now is one of the best defenses in football and a unit that most weeks can mask the Jags offensive deficiencies, namely having Blake Bortles at quarterback.
