Not a good sign, but not indicative of a coach losing the locker room either. I think this defense has finally had it with an offense that can't make it past the first four downs.

Now, if Marrone goes right back to Bortles, then we'll see what it really looks like when a team quits on the coach.

According to an article posted in another thread, the fighting had nothing to do with the offense but rather the defense is fighting among itself.

Think about it. it doesn't make much sense for the defense to be angry at the other struggling side of the ball when they know they have been decimated by injuries while their healthy pro bowl laden side of the ball hasn't shown up for 3 weeks.

Here is a telling quote from Jackson earlier in the week, "Guys were trying to do too much," Jackson said. "Guys with a lot of accolades in the past, and they don't have the stats this year they want, they're out there trying to do too much and are stressing other guys out at other positions."

It sounds like some guys on the defense are getting frustrated with some of the perceived selfishness within their group.

Based on Jackson's comment about the problem being with guys with lots of accolades and Campbell holding Ngakoue back, unless Ngakoue was defending Campbell from other angry team mates, it makes me think their may be a rift between the DL and the secondary because Campbell and the CBs are the only players with lots of past accolades.
