They def had brackncoverage on him and gave Okudah help over too so he could play aggressive press on JJ down low… even in your screenshot that safety is in great position to take away the post and corner of JJ breaks it back out.
some added notes to this that I just checked. Of Jefferson’s 44 routes run vs the Lions, we have 14 routes where he was either bracketed or was in single-man coverage with help (31.8%). He was targeted on 2 of these occasions
My man Okudah is doing his thang! Happy for him, and the team.
He’s SO good in run support too. Better tackler than you’d expect from that position.
Hope this cat can stay healthy…his play on the field WILL improve.
Honestly, I still think we need more talent. Everyone’s hyped for what the Jags are doing, but they’re loaded with high draft picks. 1st rounders are everywhere. We’ve got two. (Well, two of our own plus a failed Harris). It takes time to build up the talent, I fully expect us to hammer that side of the ball over the coming years.
I don’t think Glenn is a bad DC, he deserves credit for getting anything at all out of last year’s train wreck. But this aggressive defense he wants to play can look really bad when you don’t have the horses or you have miscommunications. All we can do is hope it gets better.
Yeah I checked him out when I thought he might be coming out last year. He’ll definitely be one of my faves this year I think, he’s consistent af and it’s pretty easy to tell he used to play QB, he knows the routes as well as the receivers.
