Stephen Jones very direct about RB situation

[superonyx]

Hhm.
So he's not on anyone's roster.
Okay. Thank you.

What a let down. I was hoping you actually had a point.
Oh well. Carry on.

Btw. There is this thing the kids use called Google. It can give you this information also.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Not going to start or get embroiled in that type of discussion. Just on grass.

Just saying his YPC were were not good. Don't see how he's any better that what we have.

 

[BlueStar22]

They botched the RB situation so bad.

Thought you were talking about why I didn't want to discuss the domestic issue.

I think he's an above average serviceable RB.

A trip to google might be far enough cause I'm done providing proof

Again, I'm searching and coming up with nothing outside of what you posted. I've honestly tried and have come up with nothing with locker room issues.

Again, if you have something that happened within the Titans' locker room, post the dang link. You're making it seem as though it's easy to find. Haha

Your source is claiming he was without citing incidents. That's not proof. Lead me to the proof, that should be your job.

This is what I've come up with so far: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...lanie-walkers-tweets-about-titans-locker-room

If Arians is willing to sign (CJ2K) him so should we. Better option than McFading if you ask me.

Gone are the days of happy talk and promotional babble from Stephen Jones during preseason. This guy has firmly taken the reins.

Last night, he flat threw down the gauntlet on the running backs during the broadcast.

In a nutshell, he said that every running back in the league would want to run behind this line, and that they have their eyes open for opportunities through trades and the waiver wire for a running back right now. He said that they are looking at this closely every day around the league.

After a long oration to that effect, he finally said he was confident in the guys that were here. Almost like he was catching himself mid-sentence.

I think he really is looking, but I also think he's trying to get the message across that these guys had better run like their careers are depending on it, because they are. He's telling Randle to shut up and play, McFadden to show up or else, and Dunbar that it's time to step for real.

My gut is, at least one of the three backs in Week 1 isn't here yet.

Didn't Stephen say a week or so ago it was he and his pops holding DMC off the field? To the chagrin to others in the organisation.
I specifically recall not only reading that, but sending quotes to somebody on this board from Stephen saying the same to a guy who disagreed with me.

So explain: Is he pushing DMC to get on the field, or is he and daddy holding him back?
You don't recall the quotes? I can send them and links, but I shouldn't think that to be necessary to such a studious and erudite Cowboy fan as yourself.

Wow. What a depressing position to be in to see people begging for Chris Johnson to be signed.

It's just sad but it is what it is.

Williams is never going to play a down for this team, McFadden hurt himself putting on his uniform, Gus lasted a grand total of 1 game, the other backs in the game totally suck.

We basically got the undies theif as our only legit back and all he does is talk about how the league's rushing champion left meat on the bone from his vantage point guarding the water bucket

So yea, Chris Johnson is starting to look pretty good

Oh brother. Comon' man most of that is over dramatic bs even for you. Take a step back off the ledge. At least give our guys a chance before throwing in the towel.

 

[Thefeelofcotton]

Christine Michael!!! We need to trade weeden for him or a 4th rounder

Erod doesn't know his head from a hole in the ground.

But, yes, Stephen confirmed they were holding him out against McFaddens wishes as a precautionary measure. Anybody paying any attention to this situation would know this. Some people just pretend to pay attention then make repeated fools of themselves in here.

 

[DandyDon52]

you guys may as well accept the fact that mcf or randle will start week 1,2,3, any back we sign after cuts wont play till game 4 unless those 2 get injured
enough to not be able to play.
I dont know what SJ is rambling on about, he must be getting asked about it a lot.
He didnt really say anything, that was almost jerry speak.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Put this to bed already.

The Cardinals will put free agent Chris Johnson through a workout and physical on Sunday.

The news comes from Jay Glazer, who trained with CJ?K following his early-offseason drive-by shooting. If Johnson checks all the boxes medically and physically, we suspect the Cardinals will sign him immediately.

Thank you thank you thank you Stephen. Sigh....

This made my weekend.

 

[Bleu Star]

Just get Chris Johnson already...

Right!!!!!
***udge are they waiting for?

 

[JBS]

People are panicking over our rb situation? Hahahahahaha...unbelievable

Hmm... No panic here. Panic would have been back in 2010 when it was clear we were going to continue stringing together year after year of falling short of making the playoffs.

This is reality sir. Fix it Stephen.

McFadden would be my guess to be the first one to go, then maybe Dunbar. Randle has some history to keep him around.

Nobody is throwing in the towel, but if you think the team is happy with what we got on the roster, you are very naive

You don't make comments like Stephen is making if you are totally happy with the RB situation.

I am sorry, but a McFadden and Randle tag team at RB is laughable for a team with SB aspirations. Just my honest opinion

 

[tyke1doe]

What a let down. I was hoping you actually had a point.
Oh well. Carry on.

Btw. There is this thing the kids use called Google. It can give you this information also.

I asked why isn't he on someone's roster, and you respond that he's talking with the Cardinals.
Last time I checked, talking with the Cardinals doesn't equal being on the Cardinal's roster.

I guess if we wait long enough, and he signs, then my question will be moot. But when I asked it, CJ wasn't on any roster.
And, of course, my point in asking is that there's something up with him that he's not a part of a team yet.

See how I effortlessly explained that? And you don't even have to search Google.
