JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Things are a little different in Year 2 of the Jacksonville Jaguars' rebuild.

Year 1 was about general manager David Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley purging the roster, establishing the culture, installing the offensive and defensive systems and starting to find players who fit. Now, it's about expecting the players to perform.

That's why safety Winston Guy and right tackle Cameron Bradfield are gone. Neither starter got the job done and they're both searching for new teams. The Jaguars waived Guy on Monday, one day after he committed yet another mistake in coverage that resulted in a long touchdown. That came 13 days after the team waived Bradfield, who was primarily responsible for at least three of the 10 sacks the Jaguars allowed against the Washington Redskins.

"We don't like to do that," Bradley said. "We're at the point now where we're building trust and that means consistent level of play.

"If it's not consistent then I think they're on alert. It's not 'I missed a tackle here or there' but it's consistently over games. They understand that [getting released] can take place."

That happened just once last season when the team waived defensive end Jeremy Mincey in December after he was late for two team meetings. He wasn't playing well but the main reason for his release was his issues with accountability. That was the only starter the team waived during the season. They've already done it twice in the first four weeks.

That isn't to say that the players' performance didn't matter in 2013. It certainly did, but the more important task was to establish the foundation of the Caldwell/Bradley regime and begin upgrading one of the least talented rosters in the NFL. That's why the team made 164 roster moves from training camp through the regular season.

Now it's about progress, and since there hasn't been as much as had been anticipated in certain areas there have been repercussions. Bradfield had started 27 games since joining the team in 2011 as an undrafted free agent, including the first two games of 2014 in place of Austin Pasztor (broken right hand), but he struggled in the first two weeks.

The Jaguars claimed Guy off waivers from Seattle last September and he eventually worked into a rotation with starting free safety Josh Evans by the end of the season. With Evans missing OTAs and minicamp with a foot injury Guy won the starting job this season, but he consistently made mistakes in coverage in the first three games before getting benched for last Sunday's game at San Diego.

He got on the field against the Chargers for one snap and got burned by receiver Eddie Royal on an out-and-up move that resulted in a touchdown.

"The NFL is a production-based league so you've got to produce to even be here," defensive end Tyson Alualu said. "You can't really look at it as being scared of you might not be here anymore. You've just got to come in every day and just really take of care things that you can control. Just let it play out how it will.

"I love the environment here with what's being built. Definitely want to get some wins under our belt, make all the hard work that we've put in pay off. We still are trusting and believing in the process and just working."
