I found myself dreaming about the Jaguars DL the other day. I started picturing the sacks mounting as players would rotate in and keep getting them. At one point I distinctly say Taven plant a QB to the turf, but he came out after that play. Malik replaced him and did the same.

This group truly is impressive. When you watch Ngakoue you see textbook play at RDE. We've had more menacing pass rushers like Lags, Brackens, Smeenge, Mincey and Spicer, but none of these guys had that pure pass rush with the get off and bend and everything like Yannick. I've only seen as much from one player, and that was Bobby McCray during his 10 sack season. I remember thinking "textbook" with him too, but McCray was a major liability against the run.

As for Calais, I don't think he gets enough praise. He's so good we take it for granted that we don't even need to mention it, but straight up he's just about the greatest thing since sliced bread. He's doing his job at big end to perfection but tops that off like JJ Watt does by being a sack specialist the few RTs can even hang with. I was watching his latest video and it dawned on me just how deep his knowledge of the game is, and how naturally motivating he is. After he finally hangs up his cleats, I can picture him being a great head coach in this league.

Having said all this, I'm almost most excited about the step forward I'm anticipating from Marcell Dareus. Last year it was great how we suddenly could stuff RBs cold the day he took over, but he was saying how he was figuring out the system last year. He knows the system now, and he may now be in a better situation to be the player he was always meant to be. Marcell was thought to be a bit of an underachiever in Buffalo, but I sense him coming into his own in Duval and just wreaking havoc up front. 

I cannot believe you said Yannick and the 2010 version of Bobby McCray have a better get off then Brackens.
It sounds like you are short changing TB90. Lets not loose sight of how good Brackens was.
From get off, strip sacks, and his 5 INTs as a defensive end, you would take peak career Brackens over any one of the guys you mentioned above.
