The Jacksonville Jaguars kept more than enough defensive linemen after cut-down day around the league. Jaguars Defensive Coordinator Ryan Nielsen shares his thoughts on the matter.
The Jacksonville Jaguars recently trimmed down their roster on cut-down day, as all teams around the National Football League did. However, the Jaguars likely kept more interior defensive linemen than most teams, keeping seven on the initial roster heading into the season.
Defensive Coordinator Ryan Nielsen says many things went into the team’s decision to keep so many interior defensive linemen on the roster. He believes having so many interior defensive linemen gives him and the Jaguars' defense maximum flexibility on game days to call a wide array of plays. After his first offseason as the Jaguars’ defensive coordinator, Nielsen says the defensive line worked hard this summer and that every player who remained on the team after cut-down day deserved to make the team.
