I'm sure that their attitudes and demeanor likely did piss a lot of people off in the locker room, as most of those Alpha types will get in the face of their teammates and challenge their manhood when times aren't going well. So when they departed, I'm sure that the atmosphere became a lot more peaceful, and it showed on the field, as well.
Ummmm, I don't see how Iloka was a "fierce competitor" nor a "winner." Jones was indeed a fierce competitor, but it's also a stretch to call him a "winner." I mean he was a key reason we lost a certain very important game. And even a year or two prior to that, he got torched by Andre Johnson that lost us a playoff game against Houston.
The sudden nostalgia for those two guys is surprising me a bit.
