Colin Jones - does the TD suspension save his job


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Yeah, I think Colin Jones is safe this season. Not sure how. I've got at least 3 guys on D I want to keep on the 53, but don't know how they'll fit.  Bryan Cox, Jermaine Carter, and Southward.

One spot opens up during TDs suspension...

I've been hearing positive things about Andre Smith too...

 

With the position so, ummm, light, I would think Jones makes the squad regardless. He's good depth and is a decent special-teamer. But, who knows? I think it's less about TD's suspension, and more about young talent at other positions that we would like to keep and protect.

Shaq can’t guard anybody...always out of position

yes I think jones makes the team 

Have u watched jones in coverage. He’s a guaranteed completion.  If I was Brees or Ryan I’d throw to whomever Colin was on every down. All U ever hear is how fast he is  and all I ever see is him trailing someone in coverage 

Some teams over think stuff keep doing it til they stop ya. 

That being said I’d rather see someone else than Jones make the team time for some new blood.

Jones is a special teamer, I do not want him playing defense at all. I'm not sure Rivera can actually use the Buffalo Nickle correctly. Allowing a LB or DE or S to line up on the opposing teams fastest WR has not served us well. Some of the guys that Shaq was asked to cover was just a bad match up and that dude is fast for a LBer.

    • Yes. Arm strength is a problem too, but his biggest problems are decision making and accuracy. 
    • His work ethic may be a question mark, but I question his ethics in general. The way that he weighed in at the combine and the left immediately while everyone else was throwing. He knew he was conning someone 
    • When did I say top 3 picks? Talking about starters who were unsuccessful or sent packing from one team to find more success on another--- Goff? Carr? Geno Smith?  Darnold? Baker?  --heck, if you take those QBs alone (5) you are talking about over 15% of the league.  But you are looking at performance and I am looking at skill set and fit.  What you did not mention is the bust rate for the rookie qbs who are drafted.  Why is that?  Fit and, in my view, opportunity to develop. I know that it is easy to say, "I saw this on TV"  or "but he has only been good for a short amount of time"  well, this process is not a lifetime achievement award.  Darnold was here for a half season--did he ever show the success he did here as he has in Minnesota?  Nope.  So what is the difference?  FIT.  My point?  If Jones is a top 7 QB over the past 3 years when throwing from a clean pocket and here, we will have a top running back room (Hubbard and Brooks), a good young WR room, a good young developing TE, and a veteran, top 5 offensive line--those are the conditions that would make him throw from clean pockets.  That is all I am saying--did I give him a gold jacket?  I said it was risky.  So is drafting a QB.  I also mentioned other ways our team could improve. But you decide to put words in my mouth and then argue against those words.  Brilliant.
