The Jacksonville Jaguars outlasted the Dallas Cowboys in their preseason opener, 28-23. The Jaguars offensive starters saw 13 snaps, including a successful 2-point conversion. How far along is the offensive installation?
The first preseason game each year usually includes a pretty vanilla script. Most NFL offenses start with basic installation plans and progress quickly. That was not the case Saturday night against the Cowboys.
At least when it came to the run game. In Doug Pederson’s second season, the run game is progressing nicely. Jaguars’ starters ran five different run concepts in their 12 offensive snaps: jab duo, zone, power, counter, and toss.
