Die Planung » Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone might

JACKSONVILLE Cody Kessler Jersey , Fla. (AP) —need to update his contact list.Marrone said Monday he finally spoke to star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who is skipping voluntary workouts to stay closer to home, and seemingly cleared the air. Marrone said last week that he reached out to Ramsey and didn’t get a response.As it turned out, Marrone had the wrong number for the two-time Pro Bowl defender.It was the latest twist in a weeklong saga that included public shots from Tom Coughlin , Ramsey’s agent and the NFL Players Association.“Had a great talk,” Marrone said. “He’s training with his brother. He’s in Nashville. He’s spending time with his family. He said he’s going to come back in the best shape he’s ever been in and he’s all fired up. That was pretty much the conversation. It was a good conversation. I was concerned, obviously, because I was texting a number I thought was his and he wasn’t getting back to me.“I couldn’t figure out what was going on, so we kind of had a little laugh about it. Now I have the right number. He’s always had my number, so it’s good.”Marrone said he and retired NFL tight end Marcus Pollard, the team’s director of player development http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-nick-foles-jersey , both had the wrong number for Ramsey and didn’t realize it until after Coughlin ripped Ramsey and linebacker Telvin Smith for their absences. Marrone also said Ramsey had been in contact with his position coach, Tim Walton.Coughlin, the team’s executive vice president of football operations, criticized Ramsey and Smith during the team’s state of the franchise presentation Thursday. He said “championship teams are dominated by selfless individuals who recognize that the welfare of the team must always be paramount to any other consideration.”“Success in the NFL demands struggle,” Coughlin added. “Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish and insensitive to the real values of team. The hard work that many try to avoid is the major building block for the development of an outstanding football team.“It’s not about rights and privileges. It’s about obligations and responsibility. And the question is, can we count on you? Doing things the right way all the time, we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act, but a habit.”NFLPA President Eric Winston reacted by saying the Collective Bargaining Agreement’s definition of voluntary “is the same as the actual definition of voluntary and prohibits anyone from threatening players to participate in voluntary workouts.”Ramsey and his agent, David Mulugheta, responded on social media the following day.Coughlin backed down a bit Monday.“There’s really no need to speak any further on that one Chris Conley Jersey ,” he said. “That was an open statement about my beliefs about what the offseason programs are about. That’s enough. You’re not going to get me to answer any more on that one.”Ramsey and Smith are the team’s only players who didn’t show up for the start of the team’s offseason program. Marrone said Monday he still hasn’t heard back from Smith, adding “he’s probably busy.”Marrone made it clear he views the workouts as voluntary.“I try to keep reminding myself that, and we appreciate the players that are here,” Marrone said. “That’s what you have to do. If you treat them like they should be here, then that gets tough. The NFLPA collectively bargained that it’s a volunteer period, and those players have an option. And the ones that are here we appreciate and we’re working with them, trying to get them better.” Doug Marrone says reeling Jaguars no longer hearing messageJaguars coach Doug Marrone believes his messages to his players are not resonating. The Jaguars, who reached the AFC Championship game last season, lost their fourth consecutive game, falling 24-18 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Jacksonville dropped to 3-5 and failed to benefit from playing in England at their home away from home, Wembley Stadium. The upcoming bye week should provide everyone with an opportunity to do some soul searching — Marrone included.Who are the expendable players on the Jaguars roster?Needless to say http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-tanner-lee-jersey , the 2018 Jacksonville Jaguars season has not gone as we had expected. Currently tied with the Indianapolis Colts in the cellar of the AFC South heading into the bye week, the team is at a crucial crossroads regarding how they want to attack this roster moving forward. The front office under the thumb of football czar Tom Coughlin won’t make any major moves before tomorrow’s 4pm EST trade deadline, mainly due to the fact that doing so will admit that they were wrong and dropped the ball heading into the season. Too obstinate and prideful to make any admissions of roster malfeasance, the simple fact of the matter is the Jaguars and their fans are stuck with Blake Bortles and the current players for the remainder of the year. But how should the players on this roster be perceived moving forward?Leonard Fournette expected back by Week 10Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, who is missing his fourth straight game Sunday and has yet to complete any game this season because of hamstring injuries, is expected to return after Jacksonville’s bye week, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.And in other Jaguars news ...ESPN thinks the Jaguars should deal a late round draft pick for Tyrod Taylor.The Jaguars haven’t trusted their offensive line to run the ball recently and it’s killing the offense.Is there a disconnect between this team’s front office and coaching staff?Jaguars insist London is a financial windfall, not a future home.
