JAGUARS PLAYERS TO WATCH
Here are J.P. Shadrick’s key players to watch in today’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers:
• #20 CB Jalen Ramsey: The Jaguars
secondary was responsible for a number
of busts that led to big plays for the Colts
last week. The morning after the game, the
cryptic tweet came from @jalenramsey on
Twitter: “When I’m gone from here, y’all gone
miss me. I ain’t even trippin lol.” How will 2.0
respond on the fi eld this week against wide
receiver Antonio Brown and the rest of the
Steelers offensive weapons?
• #27 RB Leonard Fournette: Yes, Fournette
returned to the lineup last week. Though he
scored a pair of touchdowns – one rushing
and one receiving and both from the 1-yard
line – at 2.2 yards per carry the big-play
ability did not fl ash in the running game. For
this offense to be fully effective, Fournette
and the running game must be effective and
take advantage of every yard out there.
• #69 C Tyler Shatley: Shatley will be the
starting center for the remainder of the
season after Brandon Linder went down
last week against the Colts with a season-
ending knee injury that will require surgery.
Shatley has been with the organization for
a few years and has fi lled in both at center
and guard throughout his career. Replacing
the best all-around offensive lineman on the
team is a tough task, but Shatley is a good
football player that can get the job done. .
• #93 Calais Campbell: Campbell was
arguably the best performer on defense last
week, and the Jaguars need him and the
rest of the defensive front to get back to the
“Sacksonville” style they displayed a season
ago. Ben Roethlisberger is a statue, a really
big statue that can carve you up if he has time
to throw. Get him on the ground.
• Also, whoever lines up at LT: Last week
was brutal for the offensive line in the injury
department with the Linder loss, but also
injuries to both players at the left tackle
position. Josh Walker started the game, but
was dealing with a foot issue, left the game
and later returned when his backup Ereck
Flowers left the game with knee tendinitis.
