You may be right about that.

But I haven't seen much evidence of that in the NFL thus far.  Granted there are teams I follow far less closely than the Jaguars, and they may be utilizing players in ways I don't know.

I think if you give a guy too many assignments...too much responsibility, they spend a lot of time thinking about what to do instead of just playing.  They never really master any one skill.  I think that makes players far less effective.  Simmons has the athletic ability to be an excellent player, but at least for his rookie year, if they have given him the Jack of all trades responsibilities, it has stunted his development, IMO.

The closest I could come to seeing JOK fit with us in the way you describe is like an in the box safety like LeRoy Butler was with Green Bay.
