AJ Bouye: I didn’t know how to deal with everything that went wrong in Jacksonville

Cornerback AJ Bouye joined the stream of veteran players who have left the Jaguars since the team’s loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game in January 2018 when he was traded to the Broncos during the off season and he said on SiriusXM NFL Radio that a Jacksonville ticket was “Definitely something I wanted.”

Bouye was asked in the interview what was wrong with the Jaguars after they nearly knocked New England out in this game and couldn’t say something like why they couldn’t maintain that success. He said it seemed like everything “could happen” had happened, including ego-driven players, a lack of innovation in the game plan and what he called “the Tom Coughlin thing” With reference to the former director’s acrimonious relationship with certain players. .

“I was never part of anything like this,” said Bouye. “Being in Houston before that and even seeing how the Denver guys gelled with the chemistry between the players and the coaches. It was just something different and I didn’t know how to handle it. . . . It was so much. Fighting in the locker room and disagreements with people who want to disappear, I’ve never seen this before. “

Bouye no longer has to worry about why things went wrong with the Jaguars and can devote his attention to trying to put the Broncos on the right track after three consecutive seasons of defeat.
