 There are five eliminated teams in the NFL for playoff contention What do you do from now on? Your season is over. You can't be fighting for a Lombardi trophy It said the three regular season games that remain Do you just play because you want to win? But is there some strategy that goes into it? What I'm gonna be talking about are those teams that are eliminated from playoff contention And I'm gonna mention five things that eliminated teams should be doing The last three games to go into 2022 to help out the roster to give them a good idea of hey, I like this player I don't like this player, etc. etc First let's talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars and two out of the five things revolve around the Jaguars the first thing Keep feeding James Robinson the ball up. I know that stuff to do Maybe under a different coaching regime. It was tough to do But moving forward Now that you're not under the reins of urban Meyer James Robinson should be utilized as a three-down back Moving forward and now this isn't because it's common knowledge like oh, yeah, of course like he's your starting running back Why wouldn't you why wouldn't you but I'm saying this because You want to see and truly analyze James Robinson as a three-down back for this regular season, which I mean the last two years He's looked like he's a good three-down back, but moving forward going into 2022 You've got Travis ETN coming back from an ACL injury. This gives you a good idea of how do we split the workload? for our running backs James Robinson three down back moving forward gives your idea on how to use Travis ETN The next thing it's still with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which by the way our eliminated teams We didn't mention this it's the Jaguars the Lions the Texans the Bears and the Jets just to give you guys an idea the next thing That the Jaguars should be doing this is number two out of the five things that eliminated teams should be doing run Trevor Lawrence in an offense Slim similar to the one that he ran and Clemson so I know this is kind of tough to process because I mean you've you lost Urban Meyer you you have Darren Bevel who's had a great history of being an offensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks And he stepped in against the Houston Texans now Brian Shottenheimer that has the play-call duties now as Offensive coordinator Darren Bevel gave those play-call duties up. So I know it's kind of confusing for Trevor Lawrence I know it's like a dang man. I got like pretty much three different people yelling in my ear like Which what I should be doing what I should be running and you know, which place I should be running this season But if I was Brian Shottenheimer and I have control of the offense at this point I'm like, all right, let me put on some film of Clemson. Okay. He he does good in this area He does bad in this area, which I'm pretty sure the Jaguars have done all season long But if you utilize Trevor Lawrence more and RPOs from past options uses legs a little bit more On top of his pro-style arm that he has I think that might actually help you get a better idea of in 2022 How to use the strengths of Trevor Lawrence? Just a thought just a suggestion not that he watches the show not that Brian Shottenheimer Watches time to football but still you know Trevor Lawrence second thing that a limited teams should be doing Utilize Trevor Lawrence and more RPOs and that offense that he used that offense that he was involved in in Clemson Number three The Detroit Lions I Know this isn't gonna be a popular one But they need to shut down Deon just whipped for the regular season Oh, I know I know I know I know some of you guys that are watching right now or fantasy football fans and have Deon just Swift and you're like, man, I don't want to hear that I don't want to hear that I understand. I know it's not what everybody wants to hear, but I'm just being realistic here What are the chances that the Lions would bring back Deon just whipped who has not been practicing not been practicing since week 12? Since Thanksgiving day Since he suffered that injury What are the chances that even if he comes back limited this week for week 16 that the Lions were like Yeah, let's play him If it was like a contract a year for Deon just Swift, right? If you didn't know what you had in Deon just Swift as a franchise running back sure play him See what you find like what the Seattle Seahawks are doing with the Rashad penny, right? Is a contract season for him like Just play him you're running your running game is not that good. See what you got But with Deon just Swift I think the Lions have a pretty good grasp on on what kind of player Deon just Swift is and he's a very good freaking good player Deon just Swift nothing left to prove for the Detroit Lions. This is it Just shut him down shoulder injury heal him up get him ready for OTA's That's what I would do and I think realistically that actually might happen That actually might happen. So that is number three on the list number four the New York Jets They should give more playing time to the rotational players on defense This defense is not great. We know this you've got some studs on defense that have been looking kind of good this year But overall you give up a lot of yards on the ground a lot of yards through the air What's the harm and putting in some of these rotational players and taking some of these starters out? I mean just increase the snap count of a lot of these players I Believe it was Humza Nazar Dean That was drafted out of the fifth round out. I believe for the New York Jets a safety, right? There was a lot of people that were saying like man this guy could surprise some people He's being drafted in the fifth round but I mean he could be like a day two kind of player that gets drafted in the second or third round and The Jets are still only giving them five percent of the snaps for the season I mean on the depth chart technically he might be listed as a starter, but he's just he's just not playing a lot of snaps Right, so why not younger players like that like other defensive players give them a little bit more playing time for the rest of the regular Season just see what you got when you improve your defense in the offseason Hey, which place we want to keep which place we want to start and now I think that Nazar Dean is on the COVID-19 list currently by the time this video comes out But that should be a player and and many other like-minded players like him should be given more playing time moving forward And the last thing an eliminated team should be doing for the rest of the regular season and now that technically technically This team is not eliminated, but they shut down their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season and there's a law. It's a log shot for them to make the postseason So I think the Giants are already aware that they're not gonna be making the playoffs, but the New York Giants, right? Start Jake from the rest of the regular season Don't put in Mike Lennon at all I mentioned this on yesterday's show but Mike Lennon in three and a half quarters in that game against the Dallas Cowboys 99 yards passing three interceptions 99 yards in three quarters In four minutes that Jake from took over as a Giants quarterback 82 passing yards That gives me a little bit of hope of Jake from hey Joe judge We don't know if your job is gonna be kept in 2022 but If you want to finish the season strong if you want a good chance of winning so that you can save your job Maybe finish seven and ten win three straight Which I mean for them to make the postseason they gotta win three straight and then other teams have to lose So it's gonna be difficult for them, but In order to just keep your job for 2022. Let's just play Jake from Who looked better in that game against the Dallas Cowboys? Let's just see what we've got. I've got nothing to lose Nothing to lose at all So those are five things that eliminated teams should be doing in the regular season Moving forward to close out the 2021 season if you have another idea another thought another opinion Please comment down below.
