To me, the Arrelios Benn special teams penalty yesterday sums up the Gus Bradley era.
Jags punt the ball down to the Vikings 33 yard line.
2 Jag players are standing around the ball waiting for it to stop rolling
1 Vikings player stands approximately 5 yards away clearly avoiding any potential of making contact with the ball.
All of the sudden some Jag dude #17 (Arrelious Benn) comes out of nowhere and picks up the ball and starts running toward the endzone as if the Viking player touched the ball.
Jags get flagged because Benn had earlier run out of bounds and was the 1st player to make contact with the ball.
Jags re-punt and the Vikings return it to the 50
Essentially, the senseless action by Benn cost the Jags 17 yards which resulted in a Vikings field goal.
How [BLEEP] stupid does one have to be to not understand the rules when that is the only responsibility one has on this team.
