The Miami Dolphins are set to do battle with the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday at Tottenham Hotford Stadium in London.
Both teams are looking at this contest as a winnable one, as they both need to walk away victorious.
Miami is 1-4 on the season and is getting Tua Tagovailoa back for his first game action since Week 2. They are falling behind in the division and many are starting to question if head coach Brian Flores and general manager Chris Grier are the right guys for their roles.
For Jacksonville, they enter the game with a 20-game losing streak. Their first-year head coach and first-overall pick quarterback want to show that they have what it takes to compete at the NFL level.
Before Sunday morning’s matchup, we got the chance to speak with Jags Wire editor James Johnson. Here are five questions that we had about the Jaguars that he was able to answer for us.
Is there anything the Jaguars have done consistently well during their 20-game losing streak that’s been overshadowed by the losing?
JW: Not really, and that’s probably why they’ve struggled. However, when looking at this team, I think they could move to a routine of giving running back James Robinson the ball roughly 20 to 22 times a game, and it would at least give them a ground and pound identity on offense. Once that happens they could begin establishing something else they do well and keep building from there.
How confident should the Jaguars be in their offensive line without A.J. Cann and Brandon Linder?
Cann’s absence definitely may not hurt as much as people think as Pro Football Focus has viewed him as a weak link of the unit. Of course, not having a top-5 center in Linder is a big deal, but it’s worth noting that backup Tyler Shatley and Trevor Lawrence got plenty of snaps together in training camp. The reason for that was because the Jags let him play with the starters and backups as he and Gardner Minshew II split No. 1 reps.
What has been the aspect of his game that Trevor Lawrence needs to improve on the most?
Who steps up in Myles Jack’s absence?
At the linebacker position, Damien Wilson is a veteran player with experience who could lead the linebackers (and maybe even the whole defense). He joined the Jags after spending his two previous seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, who went to two consecutive Super Bowls with him on the team. That said, the Jags like his experience level, and he wears the headset unit that allows him to make the defensive play calls.
If you could add any Jaguar from the past to this team, who would it be, and why?
On defense, I’ve long said they need a Calais Campbell-like presence back in their lineup because they’ve been average to below average at rushing the passer. Again, he’d also bring the leadership a young team needs, too.
Can we get your predictions for the game?
