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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
