3.Culture cannot be overstated. In the days that followed Ramsey’s childish outburst in Houston, I was told repeatedly that the Jaguars didn’t have a bad locker room as much as a bad culture. If the Ramsey saga teaches us anything it’s that character builds culture – and a few of the Jaguars best players were culture killers. Ramsey was always “me first.” Despite all the hype around linebacker Telvin Smith, he showed us he wasn’t the high-character leader that linebacker Paul Posluszny was before him. Philadelphia has a great culture; New England has a culture that always puts team before individual and Baltimore has long had a high standard in its locker room. The Jaguars have a lot of high character, good culture guys but they were drowned out at times by the flamboyant, quotable, followable, shareable antics of guys like Ramsey, Smith – and last year, running back Leonard Fournette. The removal of Ramsey and Smith – and Fournette’s apparent conversion – should help clean up a locker room that wasn’t cleaning up after itself. That’s the end goal: a locker room where the players set the standard of how Jaguars football is played.

If the players cant hold each other accountable then no one can. If no one is willing to step up to Ramsey then the EVP will, and when he does it wont be very respectful.

So if the players dont want to be disrespected, they need to regulate themselves.
