Jaguars rookie Josh Allen had 21.5 tackles for loss and 17 sacks during his final season at Kentucky and that ability to get to the passer helped make him the seventh overall pick in the draft.While Allen’s pass rushing skills paved his way to the NFL Abry Jones Jersey , he did show that he’s able to drop into coverage during his time as an outside linebacker with the Wildcats. That is not something Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash is planning to ask him to do as a professional.“Josh Allen was drafted to be a defensive end. … He did a real nice job of dropping in college,” Wash said, via the team’s website. “I can’t honestly say being a [former] D-Line [coach] that I get too excited about a 15-sack guy dropping into coverage. Hopefully, you won’t see too damned much of that.”It would be a surprise if the Jaguars weren’t planning on turning Allen loose as much as possible and the lives of those who are dropping into coverage will be made easier if Allen proves as adept at creating pressure as he was in college. For the final time in 2018, (thank God), the Jacksonville Jaguars will take the field in the regular season finale at NRG Stadium against the division rival Houston Texans.Follow along with us as we bring you live in-game coverage of the Jaguars’ swan song, and stay with us for post-game coverage throughout the evening in what may be an eventful 24 hours for the Jaguars on and off the field.Live blog:3:50 PM: We have reached the two minute warning, and Houston will seemingly run out the clock on the game and the 2018 season for the Jaguars.
