Makes sense in the context of him trying to justify his contract and being without [BLEEP] he probably sees the defense as his for the first time.

I think far more troubling was his attitude towards his unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

I'm not ready to write him off yet all though I think Jack would benefit from playing Will. I can forsee a scenario down the road where we move on from Telvin and draft a true Mike.

I agree on all points. 

It won't be this year  - but I think unless Jacks lights it up at the mike spot this year  -  sliding him to will and drafting a prototypical MLB that can play the run a bit better but still cover well enough is the eventual move. 

Telvin's dead money drops from 13M in 2019 to 5.6M in 2020. 

Wouldn't shock me to see both Jack and Telvin play well enough to make them wait till 2021 to make moves, but I'd not be surprised to see a shift in 2020 if one or both struggles enough to justify it.
