This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans whether the team should re-sign Devin Lloyd and\/or Travis Etienne.<\/p>\n
37% of fans want both players to return. The remainder of fans are fairly evenly split into three camps: those who want to bring back just Lloyd, just Etienne, or neither one.<\/p>\n
Getting the band back together after one hit song (i.e., one good season) isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. If the Jags want to keep the good vibes rolling by re-signing Lloyd and\/or Etienne, sure, go for it. They\u2019re incredible players and seem to be respected voices in the locker room. The only potential drawback would be cost. This isn\u2019t about whether either player is worth paying (they are); it\u2019s about whether the Jaguars should break open their piggy bank now or later. Other homegrown players like Travon Walker, Parker Washington, and Brenton Strange will be looking for new deals soon enough.<\/p>\n
Head coach Liam Coen made an interesting comment during the regular season when asked about Etienne\u2019s ballcarrier vision in Week 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he saw it pretty well \u2026 He\u2019s just playing pretty confidently and having a good understanding as to what we\u2019re trying to get accomplished on some of those schemes. But ultimately, backs get paid to make people miss at the second and third level and get more than what the play is expected to get. If the play is blocked to ultimately get four yards, their job is to get eight. And that\u2019s ultimately what we judge backs by.\u201d<\/p>\n
