If the Jaguars' red-zone offense improves in 2024, so will the entire offense.
To put it bluntly, the Jaguars were abysmal in opponent’s territory last season. While scoring opportunities were plentiful, their inability to actually cash in their chips left the team and its fans frustrated time and time again.as the offense turned the ball over 29 times, 25% of their total drives that crossed midfield. Another 14% of the drives ended in a punt or missed field goal.
When taking a quick look at the analytics, it isn’t pretty. The team’s 50% red zone rate isn’t awful , however, their 4.31 PTS/RZ and red zone EPA/Play of -0.13 were. Ironically, the team was more efficient rushing the ball than passing inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. Much of these struggles can be attributed to the Jaguars lack of a true scoring threat. Jacksonville’s red zone target share was wildly unbalanced as Calvin Ridley saw 40.3% of targets. It certainly didn’t help that Ridley totaled an EPA of -7.9 last season within the red zone, among the worst in the league.
It will be a new look offense in Jacksonville this coming season. The team invested into the offensive line to jumpstart what was an ugly rushing attack and added playmaking weapons for Trevor Lawrence, introducing some much needed firepower to Press Taylor’s offense.
