The Facts:
When Jones-Drew is recovered from his foot surgery, he'll be returning to a team installing a new blocking scheme. Per Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars will move from a power blocking philosophy to a zone scheme.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
OC Jedd Fisch plans to install the zone-blocking scheme that was popularized by Alex Gibbs when he was the Denver offensive line coach under Shanahan. Fisch learned it when he worked for the Broncos for a year. The scheme originally featured smaller, quicker linemen, but Fisch said bigger linemen can adjust to it and he believes the Jaguars’ personnel can make the transition to it. It’s been somewhat controversial over the years because of the cut blocks and chop blocks, which are now illegal. GM David Caldwell has indicated the team has enough to work with on the line. What will the change mean for Jones-Drew? That will be an ongoing storyline -- along with his
recovery from the foot injury that cost him most of the 2012 season -- in coming weeks.
