Jacksonville Jaguars

Offense

The Jaguars’ offensive playbook has some very solid shotgun formations, which don’t require a ton of great pass-blocking up front. Hit your quick passes to HBs and TEs before going deep, or your QB could be in trouble.

Key Formation

Gun Bunch Quads is one of the most distinctive formations in the game and should crush zone defense. If you master multiple concepts, you can stay in this formation for a good chunk of the game against defenses that are deficient against the pass.

Key Player

HB/WR with 90+ Agility

Formations

  • SINGLEBACK: Jumbo Z, Ace, Ace Twins, Ace Pair Twins, Doubles, Bunch
  • I-FORM: Pro, Tight, Tight Pair
  • STRONG: Pro
  • WEAK: Pro Twins
  • PISTOL: Weak, Ace, Slot Wing
  • GUN: Split Jaguar, Doubles Wk, Y-Trips HB Wk, Trips TE, Bunch Wk, Snugs Flip, Spread Y-Flex, Trips Y ISO, Trey Open, Empty Y-Flex, Empty Base, Bunch Quads

The Jaguars’ playbook has plenty of ways to get the ball to an athletic player in space. Perfect the RAC move to become a master of this scheme.

OFFENSIVE Draft Targets

  • WR (ACC, AGI, CTH)
  • TE (RBK, CIT, STR)
  • QB (SAC, MAC, PAC)

Defense

The Jaguars’ playbook is built around a 4-3 defensive scheme. They don’t have tons of flash in their plays, but if you can get a good pass rusher at either DE or OLB, he won’t go to waste.

Key Formation

The 46 Normal is a great way to shut down the run game early. It’s a nice perk of the Jaguars’ defensive book. If your opponent completes some passes, drop down to the Dollar 3-2-6.

Key Player

DT with 85+ Block Shedding

Formations

  • 4-3: Normal, Under, Over, Over Plus, Wide 9
  • 46: Normal
  • NICKEL: Normal, Double A Gap, Four D Ends
  • DIME: Normal
  • DOLLAR: 3-2-6
  • QUARTER: Normal, 3 Deep

The Jaguars’ defensive book doesn’t really put a premium on speed at the LB position, which is a nice difference from many of the 3-4 playbooks.

DEFENSIVE Draft Targets

  • DT (STR, PMV, BSH)
  • OLB (ZCV, PRC, PUR)
  • FS (ZCV, TAK, PRC)
