Mark Jones cut from Titans

[cgarsmoker]

He was cut by Tennessee - with all the fumbles in the preseason should we look into bringing him back?

I don't think we can afford him.

<adjusts monocle>

maybe no room for a dedicated returner or cap room as mentioned

too much potential in goodson, capt'n and moore. plus $ issue.

i'm telling you, without the wedge he's not going to be as effective as he was last year.

we have to have faster and fancier returners. if you aren't (which he isn't) you won't last.

plus he was having fumble problems of his own and hamstring problems which has bugged him for much of the preseason.

no thanks.

I didn't consider this. Very very good point.

ahhhhh yes

<re-adjusts monocle)

the wedge is no more.... probably led to the Titans decision

very astute theory rayzor. I remember you mentioning this before on another thread.

[PrimeTyme]

nope.. we will look forward

the young guys we have can do the job

Gotta spread some around but that was a rule I forgot about this year. That dose very much change the KR game.

Rayzor's point may well filter in to all return struggles. The formation of the wedge is a vantage point and a comfort zone that returners use or at least keep in the back of their mind jsut after looking the ball in. I have seen muffed kicks a lot in pre-season across the league and Mark Jones is not the only person that is returning kicks without the comfort zone of a forming wedge for the first time this season.

just a thought

yes but do you think the captain, moore, or goodson(especially goodson) would get run out of bounds by the kicker?

he was a good returner he just wasn't very dynamic, and this isn't so much a problem as it is growing pains(and danny crossman:mad:). Mark Jones would just be a small band-aid and even worse he would require us to cut moore or jarrett(even though jarrett looks pretty "cutable" by now).

Try here. It's a start.

Honestly i really don't care to have Mark Jones back as a PR. Moore, Goodson, and Captain are capable of being just as good as Jones was last yr. I appreciate what he did for us last season but he couldn't even outrun a kicker lol.
