Paul Posluszny asked be more vocal leader
Paul Posluszny is already considered the heart of the Jacksonville Jaguars' defense, but head coach Gus Bradley is challenging the middle linebacker to do more than just lead by example.
According to ESPN's Mike DiRocco, Bradley has challenged Posluszny to be more vocal this season and the linebacker has responded. He says he's not there to yell at his teammates, but rather to offer advice.
"Just having more conversations, making sure I’m available to guys," Posluszny said, via DiRocco. "Say, ‘Hey, you know you can ask me anything if there’s anything I can help you with.’ That’s the way I’d like to do it, more on a one-on-one basis, just so they know I’ll be there for them to help them with anything they need.
"Show them everything I’ve learned. How to do things, how to approach the game, how to take care of your body."
The former Pro Bowler, who is coming back from a season-ending pectoral injury suffered last year, could prove to be a valuable resource for his young teammates, just like his coach envisioned.
