Dump and his SML Jaguars. The hottest team in the SML? Prior to a week 13 42-17 upset by the Bengals the Jags looked like they would steam roll their way to a Simbardi. Was this game a fluke or did the Jags peak? Too early to tell but let's take a look at one team that has consistently improved year after year.

Dump has only missed the playoffs in one season. Every other season the Jags are in the dance. Dump is not a one pump chump in the playoffs either. However, each playoff season Dump has met his kryptonite..Prime's Colts. 

Taking a look at this season. Dump has the #1 offense in nearly every category. 35 ppg (1st), 385.9 ypg (1st), 265.9 pypg (1st), and 120 rypg (7th). Dump has taken Seth Stocker to an elite level. 3423 yards, 65.7% for 28 tds, 16 ints, 29 sacks, and 118.5 passer rating. This season Dump has two headed monster rushing with Fournette 734 yards 12 tds and Gallman 518 yards and 6tds. The passing game flows through DJ Chark 57 rec, 1409 yards, and 13 tds. Herman is turning in a solid season with 39 rec, 809 yards, and 5 tds.

The Jags have a talented roster across the board. A very talented and stingy defense allows Dump to stay ahead of his opponents. This season the Jags are yielding 21 ppg (11th), 227.6 ypg (3rd), 156.2 pypg (6th) and 71.4 rypg (4th). Dump mixes his coverage and times his blitzes well. Dump's user coverage is just as good as any of the best users. Josh Allen pressures the qb with 16 sacks so far this season. 

Dump has transformed into a SML elite this cycle. He has tendencies that can be exposed such as being reliant on 5-2 formation to stop the run. If you're able to limit Charks deep plays on offense it forces Dump to look elsewhere and like any other human makes mistakes with 16 ints. Rowin had 5 ints against Dump and I may do a bigger breakdown of that game over the next week.

With all this being said Dump is one of best players in the league. The Jags have one of the best rosters in the league. If Prime misses the playoffs Dump could hoist the Simbardi. Time will tell but for now the Jags are the hottest team in the SML.
