Steve C Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Link Theres a handful of teams listed for scouts being present at his work out. I don't know, thought it was interesting and curious on everyone's thoughts. I myself feel we are pretty deep at RB and don't see this as a necessity, but I guess it can't hurt to check the guy out.
Astrobot Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 The best part is the accupuncturist that's assisting Jones: "Dr. D.S. Ping is confident things are going to work out well for Jones. The holistic-medicine practitioner and sports agent, who does not represent Jones, has been leading Jones through workouts six days a week. Ping has performed heat acupuncture on Jones' knee, worked him out in his basement gym, jiujitsu dojo and on a golf course for sprinting, shuffling and cutting and in a rec-center pool." Wonder how he would do with Lynch's pain.
Dr. Fong Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 At the risk of upsetting the Fred Jackson fan club around here Kevin Jones would be an upgrade over Fred Jackson. Also don't forget there's the Lynch situation.

Wonder how he would do with Lynch's pain. Shame is, that he was a fantastic running back. Great at grinding out the yards. Very Lynch-esque, just not as good (as of now). If Lynch goes under the Law, then I wouldn't mind one bit Kevin Jones in our backfield sharing carries with Action.
JPicc2114 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 doin Jiujitsu for rehab? maybe i read that wrong, dont wanna get put in a knee bar if you know what i mean
stinky finger Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 KJ, if healthy, is a terriffic RB and would be a welcomed addition.
VOR Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I would assume he'd automatically be the starting FB. And he's great around the goalline, averaging about 7 TD's a year.
Lv-Bills Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 At the risk of upsetting the Fred Jackson fan club around here Kevin Jones would be an upgrade over Fred Jackson. Also don't forget there's the Lynch situation. A HEALTHY Kevin Jones would be an upgrade over Jackson. I think Kevin Jones can now officially be pinned as a high risk, injury prone player. He is, however, a pretty damn good back if he can stay on the field.
ch19079 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Jones is an injured RB who, when healthy, is a very good starter. I have no problem bringing him in. If he cant run, we can cut him. If he can, we would have 2 solid RBs, which is becomming more and more common in the NFL.
nucci Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Jones is a very good back , but is coming off his 2nd serious injury in 2 years.
Billadelphia Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I'd like to know what kind of interest we have in him. My guess is that somebody just threw us in there based on the situation with Lynch. I can't see us having Lynch, Jones, Jackson, Wright, and Omen in training camp.
Stl Bills Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I'd like to know what kind of interest we have in him. My guess is that somebody just threw us in there based on the situation with Lynch. I can't see us having Lynch, Jones, Jackson, Wright, and Omen in training camp. Don't forget the Temple of Doom
sidbuff Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Bills are looking ahead in case the Lynch case goes alot further than expected. This is just a safety blanket if the go for him
apuszczalowski Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I'd like to know what kind of interest we have in him. My guess is that somebody just threw us in there based on the situation with Lynch. I can't see us having Lynch, Jones, Jackson, Wright, and Omen in training camp. Wright could be released if he still isn't comprhending things (that was the knock on him late in the year from the coaches saying he wasn't grasping the playbook), and Omen could go to the PS
jarthur31 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 At the risk of upsetting the Fred Jackson fan club around here Kevin Jones would be an upgrade over Fred Jackson. Also don't forget there's the Lynch situation. I'm sure there were many who were thinking the same thing about Ken Davis. I'll take Fred over Kevin any day.
Bmwolf21 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Wright could be released if he still isn't comprhending things (that was the knock on him late in the year from the coaches saying he wasn't grasping the playbook), and Omen could go to the PS I wonder if these guys who were supposedly "not grasping the playbook" were simply confused as to what the hell Fairchild was doing...
obie_wan Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Jones is a very good back , but is coming off his 2nd serious injury in 2 years. just like out stud DT that we gave up 2 picks for.
VOR Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 just like out stud DT that we gave up 2 picks for. McCargo suffered an injury in his rookie year to the same foot he injured in college. Last year he was healthy. Jones suffered a Lisfranc injury and then a torn ACL in each of his last 2 years in the NFL. Otherwise a great comparison.

Sisyphean Bills Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 A HEALTHY Kevin Jones would be an upgrade over Jackson. I think Kevin Jones can now officially be pinned as a high risk, injury prone player. He is, however, a pretty damn good back if he can stay on the field. But Jackson is better than Larry Fitzgerald.
