Are we really about to start Colin Jones at safety?

Correct me if I am wrong but Searcy is in the protocol which means we have 3 safeties on the roster. We all know Ron loves vets so I am going out on a limb to say Jones will get the start on Sunday. I know we don’t give a flying fug about the safety position but to go into a game with only 3 healthy safeties seems crazy given our luck with injuries this year.

Am I missing something?

Crazy? or extremely predictable. 

Colin Jones has been inserted into the starting role for us every year for several seasons....  And we pretty much know the answer to what he will bring Sunday as well.   Don't know what Ron will do.  Hopefully by now he knows Jones is a special teamer and that is it.

Gaulden played 27 defensive snaps after Searcy went out and Jones only played 6 after Jones played exclusively replacing Searcy in Week 1. Gaulden may be the guy.

But let's not let facts disrupt another sky is falling thread.

That doesn't make me anymore confident.  Gaulden is not good enough to be a starting safety yet (may be later?).  They are both equally bad options as a starter.

Rivera did say that he wanted Gaulden to eventually be the Big Nickel CB and looking towards next year when(if) TD retires that means we need another safety which is at least promising that they might need to actually invest in the position since it will require 3 starter level safeties to run the formation like that.

Someone would probably have to go back and watch but I wonder what the substitution pattern was against Atlanta that led to Gaulden getting 27 snaps and Jones only getting 6 since I'm sure the plan was for them to share after Searcy went out then as well. Gaulden in pass situations and Jones in obvious run situations? It's at least promising to me that the young guy got the lion's share of the snaps after Jones got all of them the previous week.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
