How does this differ from Fournette, Jack, or any of the other younger guys on the squad?  They play with emotion, and they need to learn how to keep it under control.

The learning is a process, and we were very fortunate that these guys have teammates who are able to talk them down, and avoid the silly fouls. We're seeing that growth and maturation gradually.

At one point Jack got tackled, for lack of better words, by an offensive player, drew the foul, and was going to get in the guys' face about it, and immediately several other teammates walked him back. He drew the flag, the offense was in a bind, and that makes the D's job easier.

Teams that win consistently don't let that emotion put them in a hole with silly penalties. I'm looking forward to being the team that forces the other team into those dumb fouls.

I do NOT miss the days of the Gene Smith Choir Boys, but holy [BLEEP] , this team has drafted a lot of angry and somewhat immature dudes these past few years
