Jay Glazer: “Jalen Ramsey’s issue isn’t with Doug Marrone. After that game [Week 2 versus Houston] he had a meeting with Tom Coughlin and THAT went south and after that he was like ‘There’s no respect here, I’m OUT.’” (Full Audio at Bottom of Page)
Listen to NFL insider Jay Glazer explain to Jason Smith and Mike Harmon what caused the disconnect with superstar cornerback Jalen Ramsey and a once upstart Jacksonville Jaguars franchise that came a few minutes from reaching the Super Bowl just a couple years ago.
Ramsey had already nearly came to blows with Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone during Week 2, and demanded a trade out of Jacksonville shortly thereafter. Glazer, however, says the beef isn't with Marrone, it's with Jaguars VP of Football Operations Tom Coughlin, who historically has been known as a stern disciplinarian, who sometimes even borders on stickler.
Despite Jacksonville's dominant Week 3 victory versus the Tennessee Titans last week on Thursday Night Football, Ramsey still has insisted he wants out.
Ramsey has missed practice all week with excuses many believed are choreographed to try and 'Antonio Brown' his way out of Jacksonville.
Ramsey used a mysterious 'flu-like' illness to miss practice on Monday and Tuesday this week, was out Wednesday with a previously unknown back injury, then was absent Thursday and Friday because of paternity leave.
