Looking ahead, the Jaguars’ strategy focuses on bolstering the ground game through key draft picks and roster moves. Wyatt Milum, a top run-blocking talent, provides potential depth at guard and could start in 2027, improving both run protection and interior blocking. In free agency and the 2026 draft, the team added Chris Rodriguez Jr. to diversify rushing attempts and improve yards after contact, a critical area that had lagged in recent seasons. To maximize the rushing attack, the Jaguars pursued a more physical offensive line with increased two-tight-end sets, leveraging Nate Boerkircher’s blocking ability and Emmanuel Pregnon’s elite run-blocking profile to create leverage against defenses and keep the box from stacking.
In summary, while the 2025 offense clicked, the Jaguars aim to sustain success by upgrading the run game through strategic draft selections, improved line play, and the use of multi-tight-end formations to enhance blocking and offensive versatility for a more balanced, unpredictable attack moving forward.
Key Takeaways:
– Offense surged in late 2025, driven by Lawrence, Meyers, Washington, and Etienne, despite a weak late-season run game.
– Plans to improve rushing include drafting and developing strong blockers (Milum, Boerkircher, Pregnon) and adding a diversified backfield (Rodriguez Jr.).
– Emphasis on more physical O-line play and two-tight-end formations to create leverage, reduce box stacking, and enhance overall rushing efficiency.
