Quote: The worst part of what you mentioned from a Jaguars standpoint is the team's performance was probably even more pronounced in a negative way than the 36-8 score.  

 

 Regarding Telvin Smith,  I saw the thread you started on him.   Though he missed a couple of tackles in the game,   in the last 2 games he's the Jaguars player that looked like the team's top playmaker.   As long as the team's situation doesn't derail Smith and he remains relatively healthy,   I think he's one of the keys to a winning solution for the Jaguars.   Especially,  if they remain a 4-3 base team or become a hybrid Defensive team like the Cardinals and Rams are.  

 

Yeah the only play I saw him before and after my sleep was when he I guess assumed Mariota was going out of bounds or took the wrong angle and Mariota ended up getting the first down, but in all honesty as many plays as he makes when others on the team DON'T, I don't think you can really fault the guy. He's seriously playing like a man on a mission (kinda scares me like is he trying to prove his point to get a big pay day and leave Jax?). We got another year on him so I hope to god next year counts because I think he could be on the way to being the best LB ever for us, and I loooooovvveed Mike Peterson.
