Are the Jaguars ready to bring fun and entertainment back to their offense, the way the Chargers have done in recent years? Gene Frenette takes a closer look.
Maybe for the first time since the late 1990s — back when three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Mark Brunell had impactful weapons Fred Taylor, Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell at his disposal — things are looking up for the Jaguars’ offensive attack to evolve into an entertaining, fun product.
For an offense stuck in the bottom quarter of the NFL rankings in total yards most of the past decade, and currently ranked 14th, that’s an encouraging prospect. Sunday’s road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers is an intriguing one because the Jaguars will face a franchise whose offense has long been a textbook example of an entertaining product.
While the franchise has never hoisted a Lombardi trophy, it’s a team that often stayed relevant with a dynamic offense. He was particularly enamored with the impact Coryell, a current nominee for the Hall of Fame in the coach/contributor category, and another Chargers’ coach, Marty Schottenheimer, had on the franchise and the league.
It’s different with the Chargers. Whether in Los Angeles or during their 55-year run in San Diego, they often had offenses with an explosive element. “Their wisdom and what they took from this offense and their experience with Doug was very positive,” Jones said. “They had a lot of success going back to Philly. When I got here, I liked what I saw, what we were building with Trevor. I liked his upside, plus the addition of Christian [Kirk] and the weapons.
