Well, zero sacks is concerning. Not much in the pass rush dept. Again, a couple of rookies, Pitre (9) and Stingley (7) led the team in tackles. Kirksey also with 7.

The Jags rushed for 136, 5.2 avg. People point at the linebackers as a weak spot. KGH is not having the year he had last year (hurt?). That said, the rush defense is no longer last in the league (29th).

But the young secondary looks good/promising. Stingley needs to stay healthy....

I see where the Texans have added one Mario Addison. #97 and listed as a DL but it seems he's a (aging) pass rusher. 12 years in the league. Been with 6 different clubs but spent 7 years with Carolina where he put up his best stats. 57½ sacks over the course of his career. Last two years with Buffalo where he sacked 12 over those two years. 35 years old, 6'3", 260 lbs. Went to school at Troy. Maybe he's got a few sacks left in the tank.....

He played in the Jags game but only had one assisted tackle.
