Jacksonville Jaguars Week 5 Stock Report

The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered their most painful loss of the season this past Saturday. The Indianapolis Colts have looked vulnerable all season, and with star quarterback Andrew Luck out with injury, it seemed like the Jaguars would have their easiest game all year.

Instead, the team lacked finishing strength on offense, committed some awful penalties and missed two field goals to gift the Colts a 16-13 win and the outright lead in the AFC South.

It can be hard to bounce back from a loss like Sunday's, but with a road trip to face the 1-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming up, the Jaguars have a prime opportunity to bounce back and salvage a 2-3 record heading into the bye week.

But in the meantime, the players and staff will have to deal with their changing stock. Sunday's loss was one of the worst of head coach Gus Bradley's tenure, and the entire team has to own up to the loss.

T.J. Yeldon Breaks 100-Yard Barrier and Reaches New Stock Height

In a recent article, I said the Jaguars must open up more space and opportunities for rookie running back T.J. Yeldon. He had impressed all season, but the number of negative or no-yardage plays hurt him and the Jaguars offensive balance.

Sunday saw the best all-around performance from the offensive line this season, in which the front five only allowed QB Blake Bortles to be sacked a single time, but also did their job in the running game.

With proper opportunities and generally better blocking, Yeldon ran 22 times for 105 yards, including a spectacular 36-yard burst, his longest run of the season. It was the performance the Jaguars and fans were looking for, and he delivered.

As he's done in previous weeks, Yeldon showed off how good he is with his footwork throughout the game. His quick adjustments to get to the third level of the defense was what made that run the big play it was. 

Sadly, it wasn't enough to put the Jaguars over the top. It certainly wasn't on Yeldon's shoulders, but his performance will continue to raise expectations in the coming weeks.

Greg Olson's Offense Continues to Sputter and Leaves a Shaky Stock Situation

When offensive coordinator Greg Olson was brought in this past offseason, his recent work with Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr was forward in most people's mind. The rookie had a solid year with Olson calling plays, and it was thought he could do the same with Bortles. 

Well, Bortles is on pace for nearly 4000 yards, 24 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and is currently averaging a rating of 78.9. Bortles has looked and played better, but Olson now has to answer the questions surrounding the offense as a whole.

The Jaguars are only averaging 15.5 points per game, 31st in the NFL. However, the team is averaging 346.2 yard per game, good enough for 18th in the NFL. Not especially great, but being 18th in yards and 31st in points doesn't add up.

The Jaguars again lacked the lethality to finish the game on Sunday, and Olson (and Gus Bradley to an extent), is responsible for that. It doesn't matter if the Jaguars can drive down the field decently often, the team needs points to win and they haven't done scored them.

The Jags have scored 17 total points in the second half, and 14 of those were in garbage time against the New England Patriots. If Olson wants to have his job at the end of the season or beyond, the Jaguars have to start scoring consistently throughout the game.

Ryan Davis Continues to Impress, Earns Stock Raise

Jaguars defensive end Ryan Davis impressed with 6.5 sacks off the bench last year, and while he quickly became a fan favorite, it was uncertain if Davis' success off the bench was a one-year deal or for real.

Well, through the first four weeks of the season, it seems like 2014 wasn't an isolated incident. He has 2.5 sacks in the past two games, as well as forcing a key fumble in the Colts game. 

Davis is in his third season in the NFL, but he's playing better than all the "leos" on the depth chart above him, and he doesn't need many opportunities to do it. Just like last year, it seems like Davis will continue to be a vital member of the defensive line.

He's a third down specialist, and he's very good in that situation. However, with other leos not meeting quota at the moment, why don't the Jaguars give him a few more plays on first and second downs?

It couldn't hurt, and if it doesn't work out, the Jaguars have plenty of options to plug in instead. Davis has been the most impactful player on the Jaguars defensive line, and the Jaguars need to feed him chances going forward.

Jason Myers' Two Crucial Misses and the Inevitable Stock Drop

Kicker Jason Myers is 24 and his first season in the NFL. When the Jaguars traded legendary kicker Josh Scobee to the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was expected that Myers would have some misses and would need time to grow and improve.

However, it's fair to say that many didn't expect him to miss one, but two game-winning field goals. In fact, Myers should've been expected to make both field goals considering his clutch make from 28 yards to beat the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

But that was from 28 yards out, and his two attempts this past Sunday were from 48 and 53 yards. Not the easiest distances, but in the NFL, kickers are expected to make at least one of those two tries.

Myers did not. That's okay, but he was a crucial reason why the Jaguars lost on Sunday. At the end of the day, the offensive struggles may be the larger issue, but Myers had two chances to ice the game and give the Jaguars a 2-2 record instead of a 1-3 standing.

He has to shrug off this game and move forward, as all the best professional kickers do. The Jaguars will remain patient with Myers, but not for long if he misses two game-winning field goals per game. Week 5's trip to Tampa will be a prime opportunity for Myers to amend his mistakes.

Marcedes Lewis and Clay Harbor Prove They Exist and Earn Stock Raises

Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports

After not registering a catch for the first three weeks, veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis finally got onto the stat sheet with five catches for 40 yards. Fellow TE Clay Harbor got on the sheet and scoreboard a week prior, but stayed relevant in Week 4 as well. 

Harbor's 31 yards put the tight end receiving total to 71 yards for the week, a decent chunk of Bortles' 298 yards. That was Bortles' most passing yards in a game this season, and that kind of contribution from the TE position will be nice going forward, especially when TE Julius Thomas returns.

Thomas offers something Lewis and Harbor can't, but the two have finally had a game in which they both performed all aspects of their job. When playing well, they offer the Jaguars more offensive outlets, even without the explosiveness of Thomas.

But in the meantime, Lewis and Harbor did a fine job of getting open, maintaining their blocking responsibilities and being relevant to an offense that was expected to feature plenty of TE work coming into the season.
