Reacts Survey Results: Jaguars Fans Weigh in on CB Depth

This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans which cornerback should start alongside Jourdan Lewis.

35% of fans went with Travis Hunter, who has played 6, 43, 43, 9, 25, and 22 defensive snaps since the

start of the season. New addition Greg Newsome was a close second with 32% of votes.

Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile said that this week, “There’s more of a familiarity for Greg, and he’s a really bright guy and he is working hard at it. So, for him, really we’d love to see his progression and obviously get some more snaps in there because I think he has a much better feel of it, obviously more than he would’ve after two days … he’s been really, really professional in doing a ton of work, so I’m excited about getting him some more ops too.”

I’d argue that, for the rest of the season, the defensive line needs to improve more than any other defensive position group. But it’ll be super interesting to see how reps at cornerback shake out from this point forward.

As for the confidence survey, 89% of fans are confident in the direction of the team — down from 96% last week.

I still think Travis Hunter will prove to be our best corner by the end of the year.

Would Love to JJones get some more playing time.

Allow the kid to adjust to the defensive scheme. That 61 yarder would’ve happened to Campbell, as well, don’t be fooled. It was a prudent trade to implement.

Who Should Start at Cornerback?

The answer, is obvious.

I think long term Travis will settle in at CB and have packages at WR. It’s been well documented how special of an athlete he is, so there’s no debate on ability. I just wonder if essentially going 50/50 in the classroom between offense and defense is a hinderance, particularly on offense. He seems to be settling in nicely at CB and you could make the argument he’s been their best CB so far.
