There was one thing that Ryan Nielsen left at home as the Jaguars new defensive coordinator — a depth chart. He doesn’t need one right now.
He doesn’t need one right now. Nielsen came to Jacksonville with an open mind and an open competition. He’s looking for the best players at every position. And if the competition at camp pushes an incumbent to a backup role, then that’s fine, too. Players likeare locked in as starters, but Nielsen wants the best cluster of players on the field at the same time.If that creates a bit of uncertainty right now that’s just fine for Nielsen. He’s in no hurry to come up with a depth chart.
Nielsen is looking for the best players to emerge during camp and have that competition lead to a definitive depth chart. That means Nielsen won’t be afraid to move players around and even move them out of their natural position if that means they’re a better fit somewhere else. Bottom of the depth chart players have their chances to play as well.
Defensive players have adjusted well to Nielsen and his style, which is a big shift from former coordinator Mike Caldwell. Nielsen will run a more traditional defense, a 4-3, which has four down linemen and three linebackers. That means natural edge rushers like Hines-Allen and Walker will likely be hand-in-the dirt rushers instead of linebackers who are asked to drop into coverage more.
“Right now, it’s fundamentals, technique, scheme, playing hard, being tough, those types of things,” Nielsen said. “That’s what camp is about.”
