![]() ![]() ![]() And everybody loves Del Rio's defense because it's aggressive and attacking. Isn't it amazing that all of this attack-style, pressure-defense stuff comes down to stopping the run? Nobody liked Coughlin's defenses because they weren't aggressive enough. But here's where the big difference is in favor of this year's team: It is second in the league against the run last year's team was 25th. So, in those two major categories, last year's team was statistically better. This year's team has sacked the quarterback 17 times in 12 games last year's team had 36 sacks for the season. The reality is that the Jaguars are averaging 22 points allowed per game last year's team allowed 19.7 points per game. Forget about perception and philosophy let's focus on reality. Some of that may be true, but I don't think Del Rio's defense is blitzing any more than Jaguars teams of the past have. Vic: The generally perceived difference is that Jack Del Rio's team employs more of an attack-style concept of defense, while Tom Coughlin's teams were more intent on not allowing the big play and, therefore, played softer coverages and blitzed less often.
