The Jaguars' rushing attack was a tale of two seasons in 2025. Early on, Jacksonville ranked among the NFL's most efficient running teams. By the end of the year, the offense struggled to stay ahead of the chains and routinely found itself in difficult down-and-distance situations.

Jaguars United returns to The Duval Dive to analyze the root causes behind Jacksonville's first-down issues, evaluate the offseason changes made by Liam Coen and James Gladstone, and determine whether the Jaguars have truly solved the problem heading into 2026. Plus, we break down the running back competition and reveal our picks to...

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans are expected to deliver one of the AFC's most important divisional matchups of the season. So why are ticket sales for the game in London reportedly lagging behind expectations? Host of the West Isles NFL (WINFL) Show, Rateus Johanson joins us to examine the factors that may be contributing to slower sales. We also discuss what these trends could mean for the NFL's long-term international strategy, whether London has reached a saturation point, and why many Jaguars fans in Jacksonville may actually welcome the news.

The Jacksonville Jaguars fanbase has spent the entire offseason hearing about patience, development, and the long-term vision of James Gladstone and Liam Coen. But after watching the Los Angeles Rams pull off a blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett, many fans are asking a simple question: when will Jacksonville close the deal?

We break down why the Rams' aggressive approach has struck a nerve with some Jaguars fans, whether the Jaguars were ever realistic contenders for Garrett, and if the front office's roster-building philosophy is beginning to test the patience of the fanbase.

The Jaguars won 13 games in 2025, captured the AFC South, and firmly established themselves among the AFC contenders, which is exactly why this offseason debate has become so heated. Did Jacksonville actually improve, or are they quietly a worse football team entering 2026? On this episode, we make a good-faith effort to unpack both sides of the conversation. We examine why parts of the fanbase believe the current roster has taken a step backward, and whether those concerns are justified.

CBS Sports draft analyst Emory Hunt returns to the pod for a full breakdown of Jacksonville's 2026 draft class, and this time we're going beyond the picks to take a closer look at the undrafted free agent crop that often gets overlooked in the post-draft conversation.

We also dive into one of the biggest talking points coming out of this draft cycle: the disconnect between team draft boards and the consensus media boards and if fans putting too much stock into public rankings, or are those concerns valid when evaluating process and value?

Jaguars fans have largely convinced themselves that Jacksonville won’t prioritize off-ball linebacker in the upcoming draft, but that belief may not be as solid as it seems. We take a closer look at where this narrative comes from, why it’s gained traction, and, more importantly, what context might be getting overlooked. From roster construction and defensive philosophy to front office tendencies under James Gladstone, there are several indicators that suggest linebacker could still very much be in play. Is this a true read on the Jaguars’ plans, or a case of groupthink taking over the fanbase? Let’s dig in...

We're bringing in reinforcements. CBS Sports and Football Gameplan Draft Expert Emory Hunt joins the pod to share his favorite NFL Draft sleepers who match the Jaguars' roster needs, his view of Jacksonville's year two offseason plan, how the deepest and shallowest position groups in this draft class could shape Gladstone's approach, the plan for Travis Hunter heading into 2026, and much, much more.
