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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
