We all saw the hit vs. Cousins before he knocked Osborne over, but I missed D'Shawn cutting JJ in half. Was wondering why JJ made the "short" gesture after the TD catch late in the game, but I'd probably need to get some of my ego back too if I got speared like he did.

Started getting curious about where this young man came from, so I went back to Dane Brugler's draft guide and found that he was Brugler's #35 ranked CB. Below is what Brugler had:

Had no clue that the kid had return potential (might have been mentioned when he was signed initially, but I can't recall), and his background on offense was interesting too. He's undersized (which is a cardinal sin now that Bryce Young is struggling), but his aggression and athletic traits allowed him to stick to receivers in college.

Like the other rookies, it's too early to crown (or condemn) him, but he's made some splash plays. He's given up 3 catches on 5 targets so far (including JJ's TD), but could be fun to keep an eye on as the season progresses. Might even develop into a reliable back-up nickel that can also contribute on ST.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.

      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.
