Doug Pederson is going back to Kansas City today to face his previous coach, Andy Reid, as the Jaguars (3-6) handle the AFC powerhouse Chiefs (6-2).
These are the gamers I’ll be enjoying most on either side of the ball.
LG Tyler Shatley
There wasn’t much panic in Jacksonville after Ben Bartch (knee) was put on hurt reserve last month. That’s partially since his good play was mostly undetected, however more so since veteran lineman Tyler Shatley was all set in the wings.
The nine-year professional ranks FIRST amongst all guards this season in Overall Points per 60 snaps (per Sports Details Solutions). He’s enabled absolutely no sacks and simply 4 pressures on 188 pass obstructing snaps (per PFF).
To put it simply, Shatley has actually played fantastic. He’ll deal with a substantial test today versus All-Pro defensive deal with Chris Jones, who presently ranks initially in both pressures and Pass Rush Win Rate at his position.
Slowing Jones would go a long method for the Jaguars offense, specifically at a loss zone, where they rankfifth-worst in DVOA difference
EDGE Josh Allen
Jacksonville’s protective leader controlled the very first month of the season with 3 sacks and 20 pressures in 4 video games. Ever since, however, Josh Allen has actually signed up absolutely no sacks and 13 pressures in 5 contests.
The most significant heading with his name in it because September was trade due date reports– mainly (no pun planned) to Kansas City.
Including Patrick Mahomes in the pocket will be priority # 1 for Jacksonville’s defense on Sunday, which begins with Allen making the most of his matches versus Chiefs deals with Orlando Brown Jr. and Andrew Wylie.
