Freeney versus rookie Euguene Monroe? Can anyone say ‘mismatch’?
“Dwight Freeney against a lot of people is a mismatch,” Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said. “He’s a great player.”
Even Freeney suggested Monroe could have his hands full Sunday.
“There’s always an intimidation factor,” Freeney said. “I think for me, I’ve built a certain reputation across the league. So I know I do have a reputation out there of being one of the best defensive ends. I’m sure there will be some sort of, I don’t know if fear factor is what you want to call it, but more or less a respect factor — understanding that you know I’m going to go out there and they better have their A-game up or it’s going to be a long night.”
