I'm talking about the leadership aspect. Poz was getting less reps, that is cool but to have him as the locker room guy and pretty much as a coach on the field for leadership, work ethic and how to be professional which could have probably kept things from getting how they were. Last 2 year we were very undisciplined 

Same thing with Mercedes it was the leadership aspect of it. The players have people to model after, did you not watch the pride and dedication that Lewis had on his interviews, being one of the only Jaguars to be there from when were in the playoffs in 2008 to going on a drought to finally being good again. All that stuff is needed for young players.

I don't think these intangibles can be over-emphasized, especially with on roster of younger players.  Championship caliber teams are professional, disciplined and conduct themselves accordingly, both on and off the field.  The stupid personal foul penalties, Jalen's mouth, the arrests in London...……...these are all the product of an immature group without leadership.
