The Jaguars wasted the elite talent of their Wide Receiver Calvin Ridley. Sure, he had a decent year if you’re just looking at the numbers, but when diving into the film like we like to do, the Jags played him out of position, which completely ruined his ceiling. Ridley is a great speed, route running wide receiver, but the Jaguars forced him to face the third most press coverage in the NFL, and his high end potential was capped. Why did they do that? This week’s episode uses the coaches all 22 game film to analyze Jacksonville Jaguars Wide Receiver Calvin Ridley.

Alright guys, my dream offensive line has been sent into the ether. Little worried about Druski on the blind side, but I have conviction in my scouting. Who is your dream offensive line? (no NFL boys allowed)

"Speed" is probably the most misunderstood concept by football fans. Most people will look to a guy's 40 time to discern whether or not a player is fast. This metric only informs a players acceleration from a dead stop. It does not measure the most important aspects of playing Speed. For example how quickly can someone throttle down? How much does a guy throttle down before making a cut? Can he cut at full throttle? What's a players terminal velocity or long Speed. All of these examples are far more useful metrics for evaluating play speed. It baffles me that as data becomes more ubiquitous modern scouting has not evolved to create more predictive measurements. Also fans who like to get more granular in the ways they understand the game would love new toys to play with.

As a Jags fan I attribute Calvin Ridleys wasted potential to be a number of things that was plaguing us. 1. TLaw and Ridley were constant on different pages 2. The Jags were notorious for big gains getting turn apart by penalties 3. Ridley had a decent drop issue. Not big but decent 4. Ridley would sometimes give up at the top of the Route. Leading to picks 5. TLaw constantly felt the need to play Hero ball because his offensive line was utter garbage. 6. Because the o line was so trash.... Ridleys route running tree was very limited to deep comebacks

I'm convinced the jaguars have been wasting talent everywhere. They have decent players on defense including what should be one of the better LB groups in the NFL yet their defense is slightly above average. This shows how they ruined using ridley and Lawrence took a step back. I think they got a new def coordinator and Brian Thomas JR may be a better fit than Ridley. Maybe they bounce back

Thank you for this. So many fans/fantasy players claimed Ridley was washed last year, but JAX did not use him correctly at all and he still got 1,000 yards, like you mentioned. Using him as the X negatively impacted his ability to perform. It’s no coincidence that his best games of the season are games in which Zay Jones was healthy and operating as the X.

Great video! I never knew about the differences between the "X" and the "Z" in regards to lining up on or off of the line, and regardless to preferred skill set and body type! Also, I do believe that the Jaguars may have blown their window last year, and that they wasted some elite talent. In addition to Calvin Ridley, they had an elite Running Back, an elite Tight End, and a receiver that had 1,000 yards the previous season (Christian Kirk). I was willing to argue that they had one of the best skill position groups in the league. Do you know how many teams would wish to have a group like that? They also had a 5-2 start that they squandered. The way that they handled Trevor Lawrence's injury during the last month of the season was horrible. But, who would you hold at fault for squandering this talent? Coach Pederson? The coordinators? The Lawrence injury, and the way that it was handled?

Why would you take someone that can play well and force them to do something else? You don't take a Darren Sproles type RB and try to turn him into a 3 yards and a cloud of dust battering ram. You try to maximize what you have. One of the jaguars problems in this respect is that their TE Engram is barely a TE so hes not great at lining up on the line either. Basically their whole team is off the line type finesse players, which is why someone like Gabe is a sorely needed addition - someone who is both a deep threat but also a more physical player. Ridley probably should have been the one to play off the line though, he gives you the biggest upside from the guys we had when he wins.

@@BlGDaddyRob Not only are they finesse players but they were saved by consistently good scheming which explains the pass production in 2022. Because Pederson was the play caller in all those games. 2023 was a huge change because despite that success, Dougie P handed those play calling duties to his OC Press Taylor. But as you noted balance and different athletes help expand good schemes so Gabe Davis despite his inconsistencies as well as rookie Brian Thomas Jr are a welcome addition.

TLaw was awful last year for his standards. Ridley had a 4.4% drop rate, 6 on 136 targets. According to PFF, average drop rate among recievers with 52+ targets is 6.7%. Ridley was 33% better at catching than the average nfl receiver. Ridley also ranked 82nd in catchable targets, at 64.7%. When adjusted to compensate, his true adjusted catch rate is about 86%. Meaning if TLaw threw Ridley 10 *good* balls in a game he would come down with 8 or 9 of them.

@@AlexRollinsNFL He quit on his team not long after that. Then got suspended. Looks to me that Jax had less playmakers and they needed to use him on the line of scrimmage due to him being the best they had. Had he stayed in Atlanta perhaps he could have been the guy in his spot. he deserves some fault for his situation. Will Levis may not be the guy for him either this year. We'll see.

Only being able to have success if the offense is specifically catered to the one thing you are capable of doing is nitpicking a quality of elite players. Ridley was consistently out of position and it came out about halfway through the season and he doesn’t even know the offense. Make all the excuses for him you want. Trevor consistently forced the ball to him and when Kirk went down - he couldn’t pick up the slack.

ok so I’m a jags fan and I can tell you we didn’t waste nothin. First off if Christian Kirk never got hurt rid would not have even sniffed 1k yards. And second, he was not in sync wit Trevor and he ran the wrong routes on plays and dropped like so many deep balls and touchdowns. No we did not waste anything and I’m glad he’s gone to the titans, it’s like where old washed receivers go to die.

Well he would have had about 1300 yds and 12 tds if he didn't drop so many balls including about 3-4 tds I can think off the top of my head. Let's not act like the Jags got the same exact Ridley his first year back after missing two years he was deff rusty.

I just don't think he's elite. Can't handle any physicality. We'll see what the Titans do with him, but I don't think a 1500 yard season is in the cards unless Levis becomes something much better than mid. Barring injury, I think Hopkins will be the actual #1 in Tennessee this season.
