**JACKSONVILLE** – The Jaguars on Thursday practiced at the [Miller Electric Center](https://www.jaguars.com/millerelectriccenter).
**The defensive task this week is as clear as it important.**
The Jaguars must pressure Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, which means performing well in an area in which they have struggled defensively this season.
> "We have to be better there," Anthony Campanile said.
Campanile, in his first season the Jaguars' defensive coordinator, was discussing a pass rush that enters Sunday 30th – tied for last – in the NFL in sacks with 12. They have registered two in each of the last two games, failing to sack Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills on 24 fourth-quarter dropbacks this past Sunday.
> "I always put that on myself," Campanile said. "You're coordinating the unit. That's the way I look at it. We have to have a good plan to do that this week because the guy we're playing is elusive in the pocket – has done a great job with his feet his whole career and certainly this year. We have to be locked in, be disciplined in a rush and try and affect him here on Sunday."
Campanile said rushing a mobile quarterback such as Herbert effectively requires more than rushing with as much effort as possible.
"You have to have a great rush plan against guys like that," Campanile said. "It's similar to when you're playing against \[Kansas City Chiefs quarterback\] Pat Mahomes, guys who are really elusive in the pocket. You have to have a good rush plan and not be behind the quarterback and giving them B-gap step ups, that whole deal.
> "You have to do a good job in the interior as well, not just the edge. You have to make sure that everybody's square in front of the quarterback. You have to be on point because he's legit and has done a great job with his feet the whole year."
