None of those teams are elite , and all have glaring weaknesses as well.
Certainly, but with most these games being on the road or against more complete offenses I'll still say they're all real damn losable.

I don't think there is a quick fix for our defensive problems. With the exception of Swann, the secondary is inexperienced; the only cure for that is experience. The defensive line has decent talent, but not very good depth.
We're probably going to need to score a lot of points, sometimes late in a game, which is why we need for the pass offense to improve. Hopefully getting our receivers back will help.

That makes the Georgia-Arkansas game hard to predict.
I agree. I'm going from how SC's big line dominated the line of scrimmage and they ran it pretty darn effectively against us....even with fat Mike Davis.
That AR QB was able to stand tall and hit his receivers when he needed to the other night. If they're getting success on the ground I don't have confidence in our secondary not getting caught biting on the play action. Plus, they get us at home.
Again, I'm not saying we lose. I'm just saying this ain't the Arkansas from 2 years ago. If we pull a CMR special and show up flat to that game they'll run all over us.

I don't think Swann is our "biggest problem". It's possible that he'd be fine under different circumstances. We may be asking him to do things that ideally someone with a different skill set would be doing; that's just a guess.

The funny thing is Swann is great at blitzing, reading screens, open field tackling...etc.
He just struggles covering WR's in his scheme...which is kind of important..

what did you think about Bortles first start?

I'll give them credit. When a backup QB comes in it seems to light some fire in their arse that wasn't there all game. It disappeared right after Worley came back in. Also don't get the rush 3 shite that we consistently use in long situations. Didn't we get rid of Grantham for doing the same shite.

From the time he was recruited, I thought Swann would end up at safety, or maybe "star" position. I thought Malcolm Mitchell was the cornerback of the future. Obviously I was wrong, but it would be interesting to see how that might have worked out.

More offense than A&M? Come on dude.

Pretty much what I thought would happen. The Jags don't have the horses but really just don't have the OL to be a good team. Bortles is really impressive though. I thought we'd have a better chance with Henne so I will admit I am surprised that the Jags are indeed more potent with Bortles. Just a tad more prone to turnovers.
Really nothing has changed for me. We suck but we have a bright future. And frick the entire OL so hard.

Our pass rush nearly got Worley killed 
Too bad our secondary is terrible

my bright spot is his ability to extend plays that henne doesn't have...and i really dig hurns...what we are struggling with is the backfield...im sorry but Gerhardt is way too white..and Robinson is to weak...we need a big beast back there...how sick would it be for us to get another high draft pick...which is very likely and we get...
TG....omg....i would shite myself...

I've been making the TGII to JAX jokes for months now and all my friends get pretty angry. And I get it. They don't want him to go straight to the pit of NFL hell. But hey, we aren't Oakland.
And I agree, we could use Gurley in the worst way. We have the WRs now with Hurns, Robinson, Lee, Shorts and Marcedes at TE. But I don't really blame Toby Tobe. He's running behind a massive glob of shite at OL. Robinson is, well, he's a part of Gene Smith's idiotic "oh you played QB? So did Randel-El! Sure, Matt Jones didn't work out but D-Rob will!" kind of thinking. Him and Toddman offer nothing. Toby is good and one day when they get a RB off of FA or the draft he'll be a good supplement...but...
they need an offensive line first. Before they do anything. That has to be addressed. Gurley, Bortles, the WRs, none of them will do anything behind this OL.
