Opinions...will they break down and sign a decent safety

It looks like he was able to get the personnel to shore up the O-line and Obada seemed to put some life into the D-line... CBs are looking as good as they have in a couple of years. TD is almost back on the field (and we obviously need him). TEs are looking like better than I thought with Olsen out. Kicking game is solid. Running backs are just great. QB looks like Superman again.

Yeah, I'd say Marty has the luxury right now to address the safety spot during the bye week.

Yet Collin Jones playing important minutes....

According to Rivera's presser this morning, he put no blame on Jones but rather he had time to throw. The entire second half he keyed in on Jones. Jones doesn't look for the ball at all. Granted i thought he came up with the interception on that one play. He shouldn't be back there at all.

It'd be nice. Searcy was done before he got here and Gaulden just switched positions this offseason. Quinten Demps (33), Mike Mitchell (31), Ron Parker (31), Steven Terrell (27), Jairus Byrd (31), Eddie Pleasant (29), Chris Prosinski (31), Darius Butler (32), Nate Allen (30), Colt Anderson (32), Robert Golden (28), Keith McGill (29), Antone Exum (27), and a few more are the only FAs available per Walter Football. So it's basically "pick your poison" along with whether or not the player fits the scheme.

In this case, I'm 90% on Rivera's side.

The 10% is, yes, Jones is not a good player.

The 90% is even Josh Norman can't cover a receiver when the QB is given 6-7 seconds to throw the ball.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
