Jaguars position preview: New look for team's linebackers

Was it just a year ago the Jaguars were relying on Dekoda Watson and Geno Hayes to be their outside linebackers?

Yep, that was the Jaguars’ Plan A heading into training camp 2014.

Watson didn’t pan out and was cut last November.

Hayes professionally gutted out the season in a reduced role and wasn’t re-signed.

When the Jaguars report to camp Thursday, their linebacker corps will have a new look.

A pleasant surprise last year, Telvin Smith is now an every-down player at the weak-side spot.

Out the last 10 games because of a torn chest muscle, Paul Posluszny returns to start in the middle.
