Twitter: Stephen Jones on bye week plan

[TheTruthIsOutThere]

Like having some quality depth on the Offensive line, I know Tyron is an elite talent but without him we are severely crippled.

Don't like his answer at all......this team needs to find a play with the same intensity EVERY week. Beating the Eagles last night won't mean dilly do if we lose to the Giants after the bye.

He means they aren’t going to be making big moves,but they are looking at what’s out there...it’s not a bad answer. I’m pretty sure they will sign someone to help at depth.

Geno Atkins

They wouldn’t bring in McCoy as a FA you think they will trade draft capital for Atkins?

I have no illusions. There is no way they are going to trade for Atkins.

But they should.

That would be my target to address. Secondary could use some help too.

Trade for a DT

Yeah a Big Ugly, who’s out there?

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Honestly our bye week couldn't have came a better time.

With the trade deadline coming up it makes sure that our FO is fully invested and leaving no stone unturned. We had what, six?, starters that were questionable for last night's game and gives them two weeks to get fully healthy. And to top it all off it gives us an extra week to prepare for our seven week slate of Vikes, @ Lions, @ Pat's, Bills, @ Bears, Rams, and @ Eagles.

I don't think what he said was meant to be the entire plan for the off week, but rather just something they plan to do. Plus it appears he was talking about possible transactions, not what will be going on in practice and in the locker room.

Vic Beasley for a 5th?

A difference maker at DT?

A safety?

 

[rags747]

If any of us are expecting a Jones family member to sound like anything other than very comfortable, it will be a long wait. They all always sound like people who know they will have millions rolling in despite the results.

It’s a great gig. In fact I recommend it if your Daddy can buy it for you.

Jealousy will get you absolutely no where...

Vic Beasley for a 5th? Too pricey. 12.8 cap hit this year, going to have to resign him next year. He’s been beyond terrible in their scheme. He will likely do better elsewhere

A difference maker at DT? I see us picking up Terrell McClain. He had his best years here and was going to sign a few years back before picking Atlanta

A safety? Would like to see what Wilson can do

Would love an upgrade for all three! Just my two cents

Actually, I’m quite happy with my life, thanks for the advice though.

 

[buybuydandavis]

his answer is on talent acquisition it sounds like, not preparation.

"something out there"

Does sound more like player acquisition than a change to scheme. Players we might get are "out there", changes to your scheme not so much.

 

[Maxmadden]

Good Lord, people. He's giving generic answers to generic questions. Stop looking so deeply.

Some of us are just not very good at reading the tea leaves.

Most of my days are spent wondering, what am I missing?
How can I gain perspective without questioning the simplicity in life? Can it really be that simple?

 

[jrumann59]

Surprised they aren’t after Terrell McClain yet

I would not call anyone that has played on the Chiefs Defense. Lets see how that defense handles Mahomes standing on the sideline.

 

[Philmonroe]

I do love that some just look at the numbers instead of what each player is actually doing down to down. A DE with no sacks may be having a bigger impact because extra blocking is devoting to him or he's causing the QB to pull the ball down or try to escape the pocket than one who ends up getting credited for a sack caused by others.

Are you surprised that the vast majority just use numbers in this new era? Many think just because they regurgitate some stats from some known stats guy off Twitter they’re smart.

Zzzzzzz.

See if Tampa wants to trade OJ Howard.
