If coach Pete Carroll is half as good at NFL predictions as he is at coaching, then the could be in for a big year in 2016.The Jaguars made a small jump from 3-13 in 2014 to 5-11 in 2015, and now Carroll's predicting that their next jump is going to be even bigger.The Seahawks coach thinks that  Rusney Castillo Jersey the Jaguars are going to "take off" in 2016."You could see them really improve last year," Carroll told ESPN.com at . "I think you're going to see them take off this year."It shouldn't come as a huge surprise that Carroll's a fan of the Jaguars; after all, they are coached by his former defensive coordinator, Gus Bradley.  Jimmie Foxx Jersey Bradley was the architect of the defense that helped carry the Seahawks to Super Bowl XLVIII, where Seattle destroyed the , 43-8.  The win over the Broncos marked Bradley's final game as a Seahawks a sistant, because shortly after that, he was hired by the Jaguars.Carroll is impre sed by what his former a sistant is doing in Jacksonville."I think it takes a  Wade Boggs Jersey long time and the formula that they have put together, it's taken some time to make their efforts on the roster and going after the players and spending the money and all that kind of stuff," Carroll said. "I think they're really going for it, and I think he's laid Christian Vazquez Jersey  the foundation, which he has a great foundation of what he stands for and all as a head coach."When Carroll says the Jags are really going for it this year, he's not kidding. Bradley's best coaching comes on the defensive side of the ball, and over the past few weeks, he's done his best to improve a defense that ranked 31st in points allowed last season.  Since March 9, the Jaguars have added defensive lineman , safety and cornerback .The Jags sneaking into the playoffs in 2016 wouldn't be completely crazy, either. The NFL expanded from 10 to 12 playoff teams in 1990, and there's been at least four new teams in each of the 26 seasons since.The AFC South has a lot of question marks right now -- Is healthy? Is any good? Will the ever improve? -- so maybe 2016 will finally be the season that the Jaguars end their nine Brock Holt Jersey -year playoff drought. Click here Click here Click here
