yeah i share the same sentiments regarding Riveras decision to start Harper.however I hope Jones starts at SS this upcoming season and talent supersedes fear and loyalty.

I felt like there were times when Jones seemed lost out there. Surely he's fast and can cover ground but I'm thinking of quite a few impressions where he seemed all turned around. But maybe study and reps can change that.

I thought of this before and believe it would be worth a try. Of course I did believe we should try to see what Godfrey could do at CB and we all know how that worked out. I would honestly rather have Lester than White at safety but crazier things have worked out.

I don't get why he didn't start opposite Norman with Bene in the slot last year. I forget the timing of it all but I remember after Cason was cut it was Norman and Bene on the outside and Jones at nickel with Mel only coming in on ST or when a guy was hurt, like Norman was I believe at the end of a game late in the year. I thought our secondary as a whole would be stronger with Bene at nickel (upgrade over Jones there) and Mel outside (downgrade from Bene, but worth it with Bene being a bigger upgrade at nickel). I honestly don't really like when guys change positions unless they weren't at their natural position to begin with, but I guess with a guy like Mel it wouldn't hurt too much to try. If it were me though I'd just keep him as backup CB or let him compete for a starting outside position with Bene. He doesn't really fit at nickel, or know that position well.

melvin white is an athlete that can be used. he's played well before under the right circumstances. as far as switching to safety, he obviously has skills that translate but he seems to have lost his confidence. probably a better idea to get that back before switching his position and asking him to play meaningful snaps

Jones has excellent range and can quickly change direction.so,I believe he would do really well covering TEs. and then on top of that he possesses the idealistic combination of having the ability to lay the big hit (alot of big hitters are not good tacklers) and still be a reliable tackler.also, he does a good job in finding the right hole in run support,and has excellent recovery speed.so,I see Jones as a real possibility at SS whenever combining his skill set with his size.

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
