The Jags kicked off their minicamp yesterday…and their newly paid pass rusher Josh Allen was in attendance for the first time after missing OTAs to train in Arizona. And he’s coming back to a group that’s looking a little different…he has a new DC in Ryan Nielsen and a new D-Line mate in longtime Niner Arik Armstead. Here’s Josh talking about how Armstead and his connection with former Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa has added a new level of inspiration for him…check this out…

There’s A LOT to unpack there…I mean, the Super Bowl aspirations for one – love hearing that…and the fact that he’s coming off of a 17-and-a-half sack season and a huge payday and is STILL worried about impressing Arik Armstead just says so much about his drive and the pride he takes in his game.

And I really do think he and this Jags defense have a chance to make a big jump this year because of some of these much needed changes. Because as much as people want to make everything about Trevor Lawrence…the defensive struggles from everyone but Josh and Trevon had a lot to do with this team missing the playoffs. Look at this…

During that 1-5 stretch to end the year…the Jags ranked just 26th in scoring D…and that’s INCLUDING their shutout win over the Panthers’ bottom ranked offense in Week 17. It wasn’t pretty…but I’m liking the new vibes…and I’m really liking that new DC Ryan Nielsen that I mentioned earlier. Hamilton…what do we need to know about him?
