i saw recently that we got a compensatory pick for letting Mark Jones go. He signed with the Titans last year and lost his job early. He was the best returner for the Panthers since Smitty. We have been looking for a good returner for so long, found one, and let him go...Why? Anyway i'm pretty sure he's available and if so i think we should def get him...thoughts

rule changes would have made him less effective. ask yourself why the titans let him go? he's been let go from 3 teams in 3 years. you have to wonder why.

we can do better and they are looking at legit options this year to improve special teams.

mark jones is gone and should be gone. move forward. quit looking at a mediocre past and longing for it.

This is true... however, he was a journeyman long before the rules changes.. so I have to think maybe that wasn't the only issue, if the issue at all..

I may be "mis-remembering", but wasn't the reason due to a failed physical?

We passed up a solid return guy.... for a guy who got cut and was the next coming of Steve Smith.. (or so many huddle fans seemed to think)

If he had of been a step or two faster he would have had numerous touchdowns for us. He always made the right decision and hit the right hole, only to eventually be tackled from behind. I don't know if I've ever seen a returner with as good of field vision and decision-making as Mark Jones. If only he had the wheels.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Icege · Posted

      At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
