Quote: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. 

 

  When I watch Telvin Smith,  another former FSU LB comes to mind in terms of what Smith reminds me of when he's at or near his best:   Derrick Brooks.  

 

  Once the Jaguars know what direction the team is going in for the 2017 season regarding coaching,   that would be a good time to open contract negotiations with Telvin Smith if the team brass at the time believe he's a good fit for the system.    With all of the Jags salary cap space,  if the team wants to keep Smith,   it should happen.

 

  Mike Peterson was enjoyable to watch playing LB.    Bill Polian is a HOF GM but he probably wishes that he would have found a way for the Colts to retain him.
