The Jaguars have had struggles running the ball so far this season but the Steelers have had major problems stopping the run. Do you think this is the game for the Jaguars to have a break-out for their rushing game?
The Jaguars are finally getting their starting right tackle back in Austin Pasztor, and the line should start to gel now with some consistency, but we need to see it happen first before they can count on the running game. Toby Gerhart has been disappointing at best in his first four games, and the Jaguars plan on getting 7th round pick – and former Bortles’ teammate at UCF – Storm Johnson involved. He might be able to spark an anemic rushing attack, but it hasn’t been encouraging overall thus far.
