By Hays Carlyon When I watch the Jaguars, I see more flaws than strengths. But that doesn’t matter. Because you are what your record says you are. I believe that. It’s a cliché but I believe it. The Jaguars are 7-4. That’s good, especially for a first-year and first-time coach in Liam Coen. So, I’m not going to overly critical of a team that just went on the road and […]
