Jaguars offensive line is still a hot mess
Blake Bortles did what he could for Jacksonville against what is one of the better defenses in football, but the 20-9 loss to Carolina was further proof the Jaguars quarterbacks still has a pretty bad offensive line in front of him. He was sacked five times, pressured a number of others and got 70 yards from his running backs.
If this offense is going to get off the ground, it needs more consistency up front. The talent is there, so it comes down to head coach Gus Bradley and his staff. They need to get these guys playing better.
