Quote:Being part of a more talented defense certainly helps. So does having a defensive coordinator who is good enough to be a head coach candidate for five or six teams. Who would not want to be part of that?

 

At the same time,  the Jaguars had plenty of talent on Defense during much of Rashean Mathis'  time with the team.   Including DT's Marcus Stroud,  John Henderson,  LB's Mike Peterson and Daryl Smith,   and SS Donovin Darius.   Not to mention,  Mike Smith did a good enough job with the Jaguars as D/C that he became the Falcons HC.  

 

While I respect JDR as a coach and as a person,   it's attention getting that two of the Jaguars best players from the last decade came out with the comments that they did.
