Ugh - this is heartbreaking.

No word on what happened yet.

Horrible. I hope it wasn't the frustration watching bad line play.

Really sad. Just saw this. Just 38 years old.

Cherish every day, friends.
Hug your loved ones.
Go to the doctor once a year.
Sad that life didn't have more to offer Uche. He could have become a coach or a commentator at a higher level.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

Good player. Gregarious personality if you ever saw his show on the web. Glad he was a Jaguar. Sad he has passed.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

38 is way too young to go. May you rest in peace big fella.
Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.  

Learn from the great collapse of 2023.

This is just heartbreaking. So sad and so young. Genuinely seemed to love being a Jag.

RIP
