Jaguars Defense Missed Terrance Knighton

by Alfie Crow on Nov 21, 2011 1:00 PM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars Post Game

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has been a bright spot all season long. For the most part, the defense did their job against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns were held to just 14 points, and that should be enough to win football games. Against the Browns, the Jaguars defense gave up 334 total yards of offense. Colt McCoy was limited to just 186 yards in the air, once again not allowing a 200 yard pass, but the defense gave up too many yards on the ground.

Browns running back Chris Ogbonnaya, the Browns third running back, was able to pick up 115 yards on the ground and a touchdown on just 21 carries. Ogbonnaya's day was assisted by a long 40-yard run later in the game where he juked rookie safety Chris Prosinski out of his shoes. The Jaguars clearly missed defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, who missed his second game of a row dealing with an ankle sprain.

Wasn't Prosinski juked on that pass play that went for the long yards and not the run?

Yes, but Lowrey was the real plays' culprit. He made the tackle, but he also gave up the catch however many yards beforehand

I'm sure you know

the difficulty of not getting juked though. But, doesn’t focusing on the guy’s waist help?

Throw the ball, score points.

That's what they say....lol....but players these days don't really practice tackling lol...

they barely practice at all! It sucks, but it’s the truth….if you don’t come into the league as a great form tackler you may not ever be one…..

DT's are under appreciated

They don’t get the glory. but a good DT that can tie-up a double team is as valuable as any pass rushrer

Prosisnski had a horrible game

I was born into the Purdue and Miami family, became a Jaguars fan after moving to Jacksonville and adopted the Royals as my baseball team.....All of my teams are kinda bad....

Recklees abandon

That’s how he played in college. Hopefully we will see that next year.

He was good at tackling guys when they were bounded by the sidelines

Or by other players.

When he can just run into them he can be good

But when he has to make a play in space he has always struggled

I think Alfie made a point of that before the season started

He needed to be decisive on that long pass, and he got back on his heels

Hopefully he can alter his game, but that is a crucial skill. A lot of guys can run and hit, not a lot of guys can make a play when isolated like that.

I think its about time to cut him

that's ridiculous

he’s a late rounder. You don’t just cut a guy off 1 bad game unless he’s a punter or kicker.

Thats just seems to be the tone everyone seems to be taking about the one play

I think it is a good sign that we haven't been talking about him much

He has had some PT without being a liability. Not making big plays, but he is learning

I think we should be encouraged. Our safety position is deep; Greene can be effective outside of deep coverage and Prosinski appears to be in good position with some frequency (not thrown on much)

I also like Terrell Whitehead. He looked good in preseason, which means nothing much, other than there’s a chance he can play

The Browns O-Line was blowing back the middle

and looked to be getting good 2nd level blocks on our LB’s I say that because the LB’s didn’t play nearly as fast as they seemed to have played all season.

Still trying to figure out why Middleton kept coming out of the game for Youboty.

You know what guys?

The damn crying shame of this season is we’re seeing one of the best collective defenses in our brief history just being pissed away. I mean it doesn’t just wow you, but at the end of the game when you see the final stats you’re like , “man, we really held our own.”

I think I realized it and appreciated it after the Steelers game when we looked like we were going to get blown out of the water, then you see Ben only had 200 yds passing. In a season of big passing days, the Jags defense has been superb.
