To help justify the reasoning behind taking Oline.....

After watching the way the Jaguars annihilated the Colts on Sunday, I decided that their whole defensive line deserved a shout out.

Look man, that performance was incredible. And I don't give a damn what you say about Indy's offensive line, before Sunday the most Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had been sacked in any one game was four times. The Jaguars defensive line more than doubled that by themselves.

Lets run the numbers:

Nine of the 10 sacks for the game were produced by the defensive line (For context, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers don't have nine sacks as a team for the season).
The defensive line also had eight pressures by my count, and remember my definition of pressure means you have to be close to the quarterback and the pass has to be incomplete.
They also had one pass knockdown.
And out of Brissett's four scrambles, the defensive line made the tackle twice.
You add that all up and it means Jacksonville's defensive line helped to end the play on at least 20 passing plays out of the 50 times that Brissett dropped back to throw on Sunday. That's a cool 40 percent success rate, which is absolutely fucking insane!

At first I was thinking about naming just Yannick Ngakoue as Hoss, since he had the most sacks on the day with two and a half, but when you watch the film it’s so clear that pretty much everybody on the Jags defensive line put in on this.

Hell, they had six different guys get at least half a sack, and three of those dudes are technically backups. The film also showed that most of those sacks and hurries were the result of those guys up front working together as well.

Just sayin..... the rest of the AFC is ridiculous on the D line. And obviously Don't forget about Watt and the Texicans

We don't win the South without a stud Oline. If we dont win the south we dont win in the playoffs.

Luck has to be there for us to win!
