While trimming the team's roster, the Jacksonville Jaguars kept a large number of defensive linemen. Defensive Coordinator Ryan Nielsen plans to do plenty of rotating along the line this season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense is under new leadership this upcoming season, as Defensive Coordinator Ryan Nielsen was hired to help improve the unit. The Jaguars finished 9-8 last season and have done an admirable job investing resources into the defensive side of the ball.
The Jaguars recently kept seven interior defensive linemen after the league-wide cut-down day. Nielsen says the Jaguars did so because they want to rotate their defensive linemen to keep the unit as fresh as possible. Having plenty of depth on the defensive line in the National Football League is never a bad idea.
“So, yeah, we want to rotate. It's going to be the same. But there's some of that. When we rotate, who's got the hot hand? All that stuff kind of fits in the personnel groupings and packages that we have. That also fits in there too. But we’ve got a good group, and they’ll order to—some guys can, and we talked a little bit earlier- flex positions things like that and keep them fresh into the fourth quarter.
