Quote:  There might be many issues in play here.   The following come to mind as some possibilities:

 

  1.   There's not enough accountability from the Head Coach.

  2.   The players don't have enough confidence in the coaching.

  3.   There's not enough veteran leadership,  especially from winning organizations.

  4.   The players sense that a major shakeup is coming beyond the OC being fired.

 

A veteran from a winning team joined the Jaguars, but he did not take on a leadership role in Denver. Malik Jackson's problem is not being on a losing team like this before.

 

It will not be long before we start calling Jalen Ramsey a leader on the defense if people listen to his trash talk and he backs it up. But first he needs to cut down on penalties.

 

One thing that really bothered me today was seeing less emotion from guys wearing teal. After the pick six, Bortles made a half smile while walking casually to the sideline has if nothing happened. Part of football I love to watch is the body language when something really good or bad happens. When players seem to be going through the motions and not trying their best to get the job done it is clear the coaches lost them.
