Etienne and Taylor on Wednesday, too, spoke of the potential impact this season of second-year running back Tank Bigsby – both in the Jaguars’ offense and for Etienne. Taylor praised Bigsby’s increased “understanding of the offense, the way things flow, what the expectations are when he comes in the game.”
