Jalen Ramsey not as talkative amid Jaguars’ struggles on defenseThe Jaguars defense has struggled in recent weeks and according to ESPN’s Mike DiRocco it has caused the most talkative member of the team to tone down his press conferences and throw a little less heat in his post-practice sound bytes. “Ramsey’s longest answer Thursday was in response to a query about his thoughts regarding this weekend’s matchup with Houston Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins at TIAA Bank Field Youth Jalen Ramsey Jersey ,” writes DiRocco.Doug Marrone: Will take hard work to fix problems; there’s no ‘magic pill’When Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone was asked about the Jaguars’ recent struggles, he was quick to hold himself accountable for the mistakes but also just as quick to remind us that the road back to consistent success on the field is not one that can be finished overnight. “There is no magic pill or magic moment that you can just snap your fingers and go,” Marrone said. “The only way to start playing better is you have to work your ass off. You have to work hard. You have to go back there. You have to coach better. We have to play better. I have to do a better job.

It’s not official just yet, but I’d be surprised if he missed that much. Jaguars have been NFL’s most disappointing teamInjuries have decimated the offense. Running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) has missed six games, the Jaguars are on their third-string left tackle (who is a guard), and tight ends Austin Seferian-Jenkins (core muscle) and Niles Paul (knee) are on injured reserve.
