Just add more for the rookie to learn. Hey, he now will know all 3 linebacker positions! What is next?
It is tweets like this that are just frustrating. On one hand, yeah Jack may start seeing the field more. On the other, why wasn't this done in training camp? You spent months teaching the kid MLB. Let him play MLB and move Poz to SLB and let Poz call the defense. He is a rookie for crying out loud.

Haha exactly, nothing
speeds up the learning process for a rookie by learning all 3 linebacker positions!

We'll see, I'd be only happy for that to happen. (although I still think the OTTO position is a sort of non-sense).

Jack to take snaps at QB next week.
Quote:"otto", "leo" etc..., it's what bad coaches do, conform and peg players to their systems as opposed to the opposite. I can't wait until we get a creative innovative defensive coach, just think of how creative we can be on defense with 3 swiss army knives in Jack, Ramsey, Fowler.
I never heard of all this otto, leo, bluto, smuto stuff until the clown show showed up.
We had some decent defenses in the past....that is BEFORE we started with what gus has been losing so consistently with...
In fact its a good name for it.
The Loser Defense.
It's like observing an arboreal primate engage in coitus with an oblong object made of synthetic leather.
I wish they would have put Jack at OTTO/SLB from day 1.
Quote:Loving this doozy of a tweet from Oehser: Jaguars DC Todd Wash said team teaching LB Myles Jack other roles than WLB and MLB. Said team needs to find way to "get him on the grass."

I just, cant... The ineptitude. The contradictory quotes on Jack and learning 2 positions, needing time to learn them.. So we are adding a 3rd position and we are playing him at the newest spot he is learning THIS WEEK? Sounds like this staff is desperate and just wishing/hoping. He should have been seeing a decent amount of time from the start.

John: Brown replaced Skuta last week because Skuta plays Otto linebacker. Brown is the backup Otto linebacker and Myles Jack is not. That’s not going to be a satisfying answer for many fans, but that’s the correct answer.

Go [BLEEP] yourself John
Yeah, not sure if coach talk but Gus and Wash were both asked about Jack in the pressors today. They both said jack is learning different positions to get him ready. Wash was asked specifically if it was top secret and he said no, but didn't really say much except it wont be a major positional change. Gus was asked specifically about moving him to otto and he said something on the lines of "Yeah he got some reps because right now Skuta is a bit hurt so its really a depth thing because we have Arthur Brown there, but we may need him incase of injuries."
Could just be coach speak trying to keep it quiet. Probably not though.
Quote:JACK WORKS AT OTTO
Rookie linebacker Myles Jack got work at the team’s strong-side “Otto” linebacker position on Wednesday, Bradley said. Jack has been backing up the weak- and middle-linebacker roles and his only defensive playing time this season came at middle linebacker in the fourth quarter against San Diego. “He’s getting better and we’re putting a lot on his plate,” Bradley said. “I’d say the last two weeks he really has grown as far as being in shape and handling all the duties we’re asking of him.”

Does anybody else think that it might be because Bradley and Caldwell are being cautious about Jack's knee? it seems to me like if they were sure he was 100% they would already have him out there on the field right now.

Or did he just grow desperate?
Boselli eluded to the fact that Jack is out of shape and over weight on the last Jaguars Monday. Gus quotes today specifically about him having grown about being in shape.

I have wondered that as well. If that was the case I dont think they would say that in the media so its possible. But after seeing him everyday in practice I think they feel it is time
