Following the Jacksonville Jaguars' performance in Week 2 of the preseason against the Carolina Panthers, we have three takeaways from Friday's game.
Let's dive in.
The starters did not play, so penalty issues in the preseason don't mean that will carry over into the regular season. That said, throughout training camp, penalties have persisted. Penalties were also an issue for this Jaguars team last year, with Jacksonville averaging the fourth-most penalties per game.
Penalties make everything more difficult. They put the offense behind the sticks, wipe out big plays, or give an opponent short fields and manageable down and distances.
This isn't anything new, with the Jaguars' Day 3 rookies standing out since they arrived in Jacksonville during offseason programs. But it's getting to the point where, even with a very talented receiver room, finding some opportunities for Cameron and Williams in season may have to be on Liam Coen's to-do list.
