Jags life: Sen'Derrick Marks falls for hard count

Sen'Derrick Marks fell for it.

Every week, we see quarterbacks use a hard count to entice opponents to jump offsides in fourth-and-short situations. It's a check-the-box type thing for offensive coordinators that never works. Well, almost never works.

This is not the stuff you expect to see from a veteran team leader. And the timing is especially bad for Marks, who just last week called his decrease in playing time a slap in the face. This won't help.

Of course, these are the Jaguars, so there would be no picking up a respected teammate. The Lions chewed up most of the remaining clock time and kicked a field goal to ice the game. Delete all the Jaguars summer hype pieces before it's too late.
