Count me among those who love Paul Posluszny. He’s the kind of old-school thumper middle linebacker that embody the heart and soul of a defense. He is the prototypical general for a defense when he steps onto the field.
While Poz has not always had the best abilities as a player, he has been reliable and a rock for a team that desperately needed stalwart players to build around.
Building a better defense clearly began in earnest in 2016 for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Posluszny responded immediately. After being surrounded by mostly mediocre talent for half a decade, Posluszny was able to excel in his role with the team as the talent level increased.
