Opinions...will they break down and sign a decent safety

It looks like he was able to get the personnel to shore up the O-line and Obada seemed to put some life into the D-line... CBs are looking as good as they have in a couple of years. TD is almost back on the field (and we obviously need him). TEs are looking like better than I thought with Olsen out. Kicking game is solid. Running backs are just great. QB looks like Superman again.

Yeah, I'd say Marty has the luxury right now to address the safety spot during the bye week.

Yet Collin Jones playing important minutes....

According to Rivera's presser this morning, he put no blame on Jones but rather he had time to throw. The entire second half he keyed in on Jones. Jones doesn't look for the ball at all. Granted i thought he came up with the interception on that one play. He shouldn't be back there at all.

It'd be nice. Searcy was done before he got here and Gaulden just switched positions this offseason. Quinten Demps (33), Mike Mitchell (31), Ron Parker (31), Steven Terrell (27), Jairus Byrd (31), Eddie Pleasant (29), Chris Prosinski (31), Darius Butler (32), Nate Allen (30), Colt Anderson (32), Robert Golden (28), Keith McGill (29), Antone Exum (27), and a few more are the only FAs available per Walter Football. So it's basically "pick your poison" along with whether or not the player fits the scheme.

In this case, I'm 90% on Rivera's side.

The 10% is, yes, Jones is not a good player.

The 90% is even Josh Norman can't cover a receiver when the QB is given 6-7 seconds to throw the ball.

    • That’s a nice litt,e argument you have constructed there. I counter with a simple one. Have you watched the way the games were called for Dalton? By two different staffs. 
    • Damn, am I really going to watch Steelers-Bengals on Amazon in a few minutes? Unfortunately, yes, at least for a little bit.
    • That falls entirely into the chicken-and-egg of why is he not attempting those throws more frequently: is it because he can't make those throws, or because he isn't asked to make those throws? If the latter, is he  not being asked to make those throws because the coaching staff doesn't believe he can be successful with them, or because they don't believe those types of throws fit their scheme anyways? We can eliminate option A because he clearly can physically push the ball 40+ yards, successfully or not, or there would be zero attempts of that nature. We have no way of determining which of the two factors are the reason for option B because we don't know what the coaching staff's ultimate assessment of both his abilities and of their own conviction about the value of those throws irregardless of player would be. Again, you will be hard-pressed to find many coaches that will value a play that has an 83% or higher failure rate just to "keep the defense honest" when they have more valuable and consistent options at their disposal. But the core of my argument is that it's not like it's an impossibility for Bryce to push the ball downfield, it's simply that it's not the amazing cure-all that some seem to imagine it to be even for elite QBs.
