Again this is just my opinion if you don't agree...Cool

We can agree to disagree it's okay if ppl don't have the same opinion ppl..

Yeah honestly I'm surprised at the blowback here haha.  Jones is a fine special teamer, but has proven continually that he doesn't belong on the field as a safety or nickel.  Gaulden over Jones is a no brainer until proven otherwise.  Jones has already proven what he can do as a safety... and it's not good

Sure, let’s leave Julio Jones in single coverage without safety help because a rookie was playing out of position and missed his assignment. Hey, at least it will make for a good teaching opportunity!!!

Okay cool.. A rookie will make rookie mistakes..

Simple question thoe..

In 5 years when has Colin Jones proven he is consistently in the right place??

Didn't Jones fill in for one of our safeties that got hurt last season and play good? Can't remember what game it was (maybe Green Bay), but I remember jokingly saying Jones deserves the game ball for exceeding my expectations exponentially.

That being said, safety is a position that isn't important to our defense. The defense relies on the front 7 to stop the run and get pressure. If that doesn't happen, it doesn't matter who we have at safety unless we have all-pros back there.

Based on what dude hasn’t even played a full game yet? We know Jones is garbage based on real game tapes for yrs. 

Based on him not even being able to hang with other team’s practice squad roster in the preseason. 

Jones sucks 100% agree...but that’s what you get with Rivera. Thinks he can coach around awful safeties but it won’t be the case this year with this front 4 that can’t generate pressure

Normally for us that matters, but dalton's best quality is his quick dissection of plays.  He has one of the quickest snap to releases in the NFL which makes him SUPER frustrating to opposing pass rushers and nullifies a lot of the opposing pass rush.  This and the saints games are the games on our schedule that put the most pressure on our secondary specifically.
