I'll never forget when the chargers knocked Jones' helmet off in the endzone and cut him but good. total cheap shot. Im glad the guy recovered from that it was nasty. (home opener 2 years ago) 1
Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 1 minute ago, GunnerBill said: Smith and Jones are staying. And so they should Disagree, Lee Smith is a complete liability every time he touches the field. And Jones is a classic no impact journeyman running back who of course plays Special Teams. Better hope we don’t need a cornerback.

Rc2catch Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 4 minutes ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: Like Lee Smith, he’s another one of those fringe NFL players who stays around because he has this one great skill. Lee Smith is supposed to be this great blocker, he’s a complete liability on the field. And Jones is just taking a roster spot from someone more capable. Shades of Joe Webb with those two choices. Puke. Jones is taking a roster spot from who that’s more capable? How many third string running backs you think can play special teams and even return in a pinch? Let’s also remember if he is forced to play he can catch too.

I'm sure there will be more player moves in the next couple of days. I agree I doubt he is done making deals. He'll pull at least one off and find a gem for a decent price . It's what he does. 1

Yeah, it's unbelievable the depth we keep at o-line for players who will never play all season, while going into each week praying about the cornerback position. I do not get it.

And special teams matter. How can someone who has been in a division with New England for the last 20 years not realise that?

MJS Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Surprised by Dean Marlowe and Andre Roberts. Does that make McKenzie our returner?

Interesting to see how they work him on the field over Beasley brown and diggs. 3 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I don't think they plan to work him on the field over Beasley Brown and Diggs or return instead of Roberts. Diggs can run reverses and jet sweeps. But if one of those guys goes down, they want a guy who can fill in. Bit of everything - I don't think he sees as much time as he did last year. Though I see him being primarily deployed on run plays with pre-snap motions and the occasional sweep. He still provides a dynamic aspect to the offense that defenses have to scheme for in that regard, and can otherwise plug-in on most routes as needed. 1

With all due respect to your vast experience and unquestioned skills in building an NFL roster, I think I might prefer to trust the professionals here. 1 1 1

Big Turk Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Normally I would say these fringe players shouldn't get too comfortable but with no preseason they might be safer than they normally would be with no real game tape on players released from other teams 1
