Defense leading the way for Jacksonville Jaguars
The rookie rusher possess a shined potential against the Carolina Panthers, and could be the leading rusher in the field that Jacksonville Jaguars want him to be. Robinson made a move inside as if he was going to settle into a gap in the zone. “That’s how I live my life, just try to and do better each and every day”. I thought our guys were ready to go, I thought our meetings were good. “That was nice to see from that distance”. During Week 1, Suh played 67 snaps and didn’t register a single pressure or run stop, according to Pro Football Focus. Bortles connected twice with No. 1 wide receiver Allen Robinson for 39 yards and a touchdown during the drive.
With the Jaguars in front 17-6, the Dolphins finally went on a touchdown drive of their own. Vernon’s penalty for shoving tight end Clay Harbor after the whistle put Jacksonville at the 19-yard line and needing a couple of mistake-free plays and a fairly routine kick. Cornerback Davon House left the game at halftime with dehydration and did not return after sustaining a hamstring injury in the first half.
Jacksonville kicker Jason Myers hit a 28-yard field goal with 40 seconds remaining to deliver Sunday’s victory. But he drilled this one through the uprights for the win.
Miller said after the game that he would be “alright” for next week, but until the injury report comes out, it’s not certain if he will play or not.
Miami players say they have fixed that problem, which was largely caused by an inability to shed blocks and make tackles. “I take full responsibilities for my actions, on to the next week”. In fact, the only reason why Miami’s offense isn’t getting a letter grade of a “D” or an “F” in this category is because of the second-year man out of Texas A&M. He has dropped a pass or two and hasn’t run crisp routes but making matter worse is the fact that Ryan Tannehill still can’t connect with his receivers down field.
At one point backup quarterback Matt Moore put on his helmet and warmed up on the sideline.
On the plus side, Tannehill led the two-minute offense to the Dolphins’ only offensive touchdown, and bounced back from a slow start, throwing for 196 yards in the final 32 minutes. Just like with Bortles we were able to see it in flashes last season but today he finally had a breakout performance.
Neither team could mount a drive after that, however, as the teams traded punts for the next 10 possessions.
If you are a Jaguars or Dolphins fan, and don’t know the significance of that score, then let me take some time to catch you up on it.
Against the Seahawks in Week 1, the Rams defensive line won the game.
“I think it’s very disappointing, ” center Mike Pouncey said.
Back in that matchup, the Jaguars ran for 176 yards led by Denard Robinson with 108 yards on 18 carries. “Give credit to their defense, they played hard”, Tannehill said. They marched down the field 80 yards in eight plays.
Bortles targeted Allen Robinson 12 times in the game and was rewarded with some big plays. The Dolphins drove down the field again and attempted a 42-yard field goal but Andrew Franks missed the kick wide left. Sunday’s game marked the third straight year that Miami has played in Jacksonville.
