I don't know why they did this.

I thought Jones was playing ok.


Odds are...he's gonna be wearing another uniform soon.

Just wondering Guy, Do you have any picts of the Henry INT any one of the two. You know they are available. Just thought you'd like to know TROLL!

This move just brings back into question why in the world would we cut Aaron Glenn instead of Jones. I never got that one anyway.

That was a stupid move. Jones is not even good enough to worry about losing and we cut Aaron Glenn:confused:

If you want to play 4th corner in this league -- and that's what Glenn would have been doing since Reeves took his 3rd corner job from him, you have to contribute on ST -- Glenn would have had 5 or so plays a game as the 4th corner in the regular D. Yes, Newman is hurt - but clearly the staff felt they could get by for the games Newman would miss with what they had. So far they were right.

BTW -- your boy Glenn can't get on the field in Jax either.

Lets see, do I want a cover corner or a special teams player?

hum.... how many yards passing have we given up in the first 2 games again? 600?

I don't know. I'll have to go look.

Here's what I found.

Since Henry didn't have any interceptions in 21 of the 24 past regular season games, it was really easy to find.

I decided that the 60 yard TD he gave up to Eli-Plax on the 3rd play of the season was better.

Sorry.

let's see, do you want a 4th corner who gets 5 or so plays MAYBE in a game -- or someone can cover maybe a bit worse as the 4th corner but also is solid on kickoff and punt return coverage?

And how many passing yards of those were on Jones? Of course, it is more than Glenn has given up this year since he hasn't played a snap for Jax.

Your not that dense abersonc - don't play stupid. Glenn should have been playing instead of Reeves IMO. If Jones is a youngster worth cutting the experienced Vet over then why do you put him out on the waiver wire.

The only excuse for letting Glenn go was for promising youth, so promising in fact that we left him open to all takers!:rolleyes:

Glenn was done. He just couldn't take a hit anymore.

We are better off without him.

Reeves is going to improve. He's faster than Henry and he's smart.

You simply don't keep someone around to play 5 plays on D a game and nothing else.

Reeves TOOK Glenn's job away -- you sir, can't be so dense to not recognize that.

Nate Jones DOES NOT have to clear waivers which is why he was released.


Nate Jones?
Jones cleared waivers. We’ll see about resigning. We’ll have a dime back (on Sunday), I don’t have an answer right now. There is a probability we’ll resign him.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
