Could we deactivate M. Jones?

I know that this is not very likely but could we be deactivating Jones for the playoffs? He is useless in the offense and we could have both Jarrett and Hackett active and give us more offensive weapons. Smith could handle punt returns, don't forget he returned one last game for what Fox said was practice. Stewart could return the kickoffs like he did earlier this year. Don't get me wrong Jones has done a nice job but do we really want him out on the field when we are trying to come back or if one of the other guys gets hurt. Smith has said that he doesn't do returns anymore because it's too much for his body to take during the regular season but the playoffs are one game and your done and we need our best players playing. What do you guys think?

um did you forget the packers game? dude has been very good, no he hasnt shown that he is gona break one for a td, but he has been getting us great FP all year. he has earned a playoff spot without doubt.

as for stewie at returns, he could do it, but rather keep him healthy and fresh for the offense.

Mark Jones has had some nice games.

We don't throw enough to warrant Hackett and Jarrett being active. If we do have an extra player, it would probably be a dlineman.

Its been a long time since Steve had a decent punt return. Despite his natural talent, its probably something that even he needs to work at a little bit. And if he got injured doing it, some here would be howling for Fox's head on a platter.

I understand but what if we are down by 14+ in the 4th, who would you rather have out there making catches Jones or Jarrett/Hackett. Again I'm not saying that we should do it but rather that it is a good option to think about. Also I'm not trying to take anything away from Jones but I think that both Smith and Stewart could replace him and do just as well as he does. They also posses a home run threat which he doesn't.

Ok...who returns for us then?? So you say Stewart.....you wanna risk one of our dynamic duo in our running game, to get 4 receivers out there.

We aren't that deep at RB nimrod!

Jesus H. Christopher........I know I didn't just read that ignorant suggestion.

no way Foxy deactives Jones imo. Jones has played solid in area we have lacked in for years now. Fox imo doesn't have much faith in either Hackett or Jarrett at this point. Based on what Fox said on Sirius NFL radio this past week......I fully expect Hackett to be our #3 WR w/ Jarrett being deactivated.

Your hypothetical is really invalid. It's all well "what if" scenario's. You can't assume we'll be down by 14 and activate players accordingly, not very good coaching strategy if you ask me. Why mix things up in big games? He's had more time back there than anyone else on the roster.

You have to play your best players in playoff games. I know that it's a hypothetical situation but what if it does happen as a coach you have to be prepared for it. What you are saying is that it can't happen so we shouldn't be prepared for it, real smart. Yes Stewart could get hurt nut I trust Williams to carry the ball without any help. At the same time Smith could get hurt playing WR and you would be happy only having two Wr to throw to, again very smart. You need to look at all angles because we can't afford to not be prepared for all situations because if we are not we will be sitting at home the following week.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
