There was only one way to combat the feisty, aggressive Jacksonville Jaguars defense. Attack, attack, and attack some more. Loosen it up early in order to dare dream about winning on first down via the rushing attack.
In Sunday’s embarrassing 33-12 defeat, Todd Bowles’s New York Jets, of course, didn’t opt for this strategy. In fact, they continued down the conservative path that is barely getting by offensively while hoping the defense can win the game.
It’s a severe issue hamstringing the franchise. Todd Bowles currently lives in the same decade he won a Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins while coaches like Doug Pederson are winning chips courtesy of aggression and a pair of iron-created balls.
