Brackens is still by far the best defensive player in team history. Also he was a 2nd round pick out of Texas so we got crazy value in the drafting aspect.

Tony Brackens had a good tactic that I picked up on when I was about 12 years old. I used to watch just him on defense because I wanted to understand how he is always blowing plays up. He used to pick up on the cadence better than anybody.

There were tons of plays where I thought he was offside. But he wasn't, he just timed the play perfectly.

He would always put his hand on the QB to sack him and then swing downwards with his right hand and force a fumble.

I remember vividly against the Ravens during a night game where he has a sack, a strip, and forced fumble, an interception, and a touchdown all in 1 game. In was in the year of 2000. He dominated that game.

I think he has 55 sacks but he was injured and never played much after that. Almost 18 years ago and his sack record held up at 12 until Calias had 14.5 in 2017

And his 55 career sacks still stand to this day.

Yannick is a fantastic defensive player, but he has a lot of sacks to go before he is in the same league as Brackens. He has the tools to get there.

I love talking about our four fathers and Jaguar football of the 90s. I watched every game and I can recall hundreds of plays and outcomes.

Off topic, but if you wanna see some cool stuff research Jimmy Smith's catch on the 1 centimeter line as time expired and we almost beat New England. I think it was 1996.

We went to overtime and lost but I think it's on YouTube. You might have to watch the entire game though.
