Preview: Can the Jaguars offense get on schedule vs. Detroit?
Photo by Ronald Martinez/ In order for the Jaguars to win on Sunday, the offense has to show up at TIAA Bank Field The Jaguars are reeling from another loss, this time a 30-14 defeat at the hands of the once-winless Houston Texans. Despite two turnovers forced by the defense, a game-high since Week One, the Jaguars offense couldn’t get out of its’ own way. Two missed field goals by Stephen Hauschka, and two fumbles by Gardner Minshew and James Robinson doomed the Jaguars offense last week. Yet we move on, Sunday the Jaguars will be taking on the Detroit Lions, in a must-win game for...

3 things the Jaguars must do to beat the Lions
The Jacksonville Jaguars are not favorites to win on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. And why should they be? They’ve mismanaged games, turned in some very bad defensive performances, and choked near the goal line when they could keep the score close. But their opponent this week isn’t much better! Besides this game, there are maybe two or three games left on the Jaguars schedule I think they stand a better-than-unlikely chance to win. How do they do it? 1. Run James Robinson ragged The Jaguars had a golden opportunity to pile on the yards last week against the Houston Texans, the...

Why won’t Jay Gruden use James Robinson more?
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports The Jacksonville Jaguars kept last week’s game against the Houston Texans a close, one-score game until there was 14:16 left in the fourth quarter. That’s when a fumble by Gardner Minshew led to a Ka’imi Fairbairn field goal and the game was 20-7. From then on, the offense never played within a score again. And up to that point, with the game being separated by just one touchdown, Gardner Minshew had attempted 29 passes and James Robinson had 12 rushes. In fact, there was only one drive all game where Robinson had more than two rush attempts. The day...

Jaguars going for two-point conversion made sense
Photo by Kirk Irwin/ It was the middle of the fourth quarter and the Jacksonville Jaguars had just scored a touchdown to bring the score to 30-22. An extra point would make it so that another seven points would tie the game and force overtime. But they didn’t go for an extra point. Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone opted to go for two. They missed on a pass to James Robinson near the sideline, who was tackled before he even got close. The scoreline never got any closer than those eight points. After a few more drives, the game ended. At the time, it didn’t make much sense. Why go for...

Jaguars’ James Robinson a breath of fresh air at running back
Photo by James Gilbert/ While the Jaguars’ offense wasn’t productive on Thursday, its rookie running back was at least one bright spot. Although the Jaguars have only played in three games thus far this season, one of its bright spots has continued to shine throughout the year. Undrafted rookie running back James Robinson has steadily become the team’s featured running back, and improved his stock on Thursday by boasting his receiving ability. Robinson originally signed with the team immediately following the draft this year, and was subsequently one of the team’s best running...

Jaguars vs. Titans: Week 2 sack analysis
Photo by Wesley Hitt/ There were 49 designed passing plays and only two sacks? Yeah, that’s not a bad day at the office. The Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line overall played an incredibly good game against the Tennessee Titans — despite losing starting center Brandon Linder to a knee injury early the unit opened rushing lanes for rookie running back James Robinson (who didn’t have a single carry for a loss) and protected Gardner Minshew well. But there were two sacks. Well, yes, but who was responsible for them? Let’s find out! Sack #1: 1st & 10 at TEN 49, 9:42 left in...
