I haven't heard much about him latley. Will he be back for our playoff game? I know he hasn't done much this year but having him and Tolbert on the field at the same time may help open up the screen game. That is if Shula actually calls some RB screens.

 

I'd like to see him and Smitty back because any extra offensive weapons will be more than welcome.

Practicing for the Tour De France....I do agree we need to call more screens because Deangelo keeps breaking them for big gains and we need big plays wherever we can get them

Didn't Williams have a 50 yard screen (with a fumble)?

 

I am assuming Stewart is out for the year

 

Yes which is why I am hoping for more RB screens as it was probably our most effective offensive play. History has shown Stewart and Tolbert are our two best receivers out of the backfield.

 

I want this team to be 100% Healthy in 2 weeks.

He's listening to his body, shhhh. He may not be able to hear it with all this chatter of "healthy". In all seriousness, we need him. I don't care what anyone says but Stew and Dwill both being healthy make us a better team. There are several tackles Stew would run through that Dwill can't and there are several draw type plays we use Tolbert for that Stew could run.

Hopefully Stew returns so we can use him on those inside runs to set Tolbert up on some FB screens. That element of surprise from a true FB position cannot be understated.

Dwill is averaging 12.8 ypc... He's been pretty good out of the backfield.  This year, anyway, Dwill has been more effective as a receiving option out of the backfield.  he's been really good on screens.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      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.
