New Pod! Jon and I look at a handful of struggling units — and try to find some solutions.
• What’s wrong with the Jags offense? Is Trevor Lawrence capable of commanding the operation the way Jacksonville needs? Should Liam Coen adapt to Lawrence’s limitations?
• Is Bo Nix to blame for the Broncos’ offensive mess? Why are they so much better in the fourth quarter of games?
• The Commanders’ defense is slow and old, and at least one player needs to be benched. But are there answers on this roster to elevate the ceiling of the unit?
• Last year, the Chargers were among the cleanest groups in the league in execution, but this year, blown coverages and missed tackles abound. Can the unit improve if they get healthier and dig deeper into their pressure bag?
• Will the Eagles offense ever find stability? Or is high variance the only identity they have?
