If Sercy can't finish games and Colin is his back up?? Then the excuse that Gauldin is only learning Adam's position isn't going to work..

I get it that this team doesn't care about the safety position but having Colin Jones back there with alot of playing time.. Is Malpractice..

I thought during TC Gauldin was learning both positions  back there?? If Sercy is going to be a injury prone problem.. Its time to get Gauldin back there..

Jones played a good game, was in position and got in there for a solo tackle and an assist in limited action. The guy is also a special teams captain.

Why all the hate for a second string safety on a team that performed lights out defensively and had good special teams play (except for that one extra point attempt -- not a Colin Jones play)?

I wouldn't say good.. I'd say the front 7 was able to hide him.. My point still remains.. If Sercy is going to be injury prone.. I'd rather see the rookie who has a chance to be a better player.

Maybe Gauldin can go out and get some work when we're up by 24 or so. If the game's within two TDs and we have to go to a back-up safety, I'm choosing Jones and his experience. Plus, he is nowhere near as bad as you're making him out to be. He's been a solid second stringer and role player.

Reason doesn't go far here.

The huddle knows the roster better than our coaches do.

Gaulden would be a bigger liability.  Not sure if you could make a case to change anyone’s mind. 

Galuden is way better coverage player than Jones at anytime.. So the only thing Jones has going for him is experience which can easily be negated with playing time..

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
