KingdomBankcard Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Matt Jones can fill needs immediately at receiver, tight end, 3rd string quarter back, long snapper not mention kick returner but we need that with Moss, Brown. He would save us 6 million in cap room being able to atleast back two of those positions and create more roster space for other player. Enventually becoming the starting quarter back in three years. Go Gibbs.:gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnyderShrugged Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I was thinking, and this may be way out there in theory, but what would the cap implications be to package Brunell, Gardner, and the #25 pick for Miami's #2 and #69? I noticed Brunell has been left out of the trade scenarios, so I assume it's a cap hit reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Punani2 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I think Jones is the target at 25. Gibbs can have him start at the TE spot. He could move to WR for some plays as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Gibbs.:gaintsuck I'm actually going to go ahead and agree here. I think they absolutely could be thinking about Matt Jones with 25, and by working out Campbell, they're making teams that would want him trade up to get him, thus removing a team that might otherwise take Jones. It might not be Jones (I hope it is), but that's definately what I believe is going on, whoever it is they're targeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingdomBankcard Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 You can go to three or four receiver sets with Portis, Moss, Patten, Cooley and Jones that would be four receivers with sub 4.4. speed against the traditional defensive alignments of two corner backs without having to substitute a receiver. I wouldn't want to defend that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I would do a dance in my living room if the Skins selected Matt Jones. My god, that would be great!!!!! Not only would it push a REAL player down to the Eagles at 31 but I could hate the hype machine more than I already do now. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mookie0720 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Someone PLEASE explain to me why Matt Jones is a TE? He has 0 experience blocking, and his previous position was QB He's got a 40 inch vert and runs a 4.37 40. Why is he a TE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Williams Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 what a goof.... IF we do take jones @ #25 it will be a risk BUT figuring only 9 players drafted 1st remain on the same team since 1999 who cares.... jones & jones 2005 nfl draft.....

KingdomBankcard Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 The speed we would have on offense would be amazing, he's also a great long snapper. Good bye Ethan Albright. Good bye Hassleback, goodbye Fifth receiver and good third tightend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, to have Jones bulk up to play TE would seem like a waste of his talent. Jones has even said as much himself in Mort's previous article (that read like an absolute love letter to Matt Jones, btw). From the article: " Some NFL teams have tried to peg him as a tight end or H-back because of his size. Jones has been truthful with NFL teams that have spoken with him. He's reluctant to play tight end. "You know, it's funny," one AFC head coach told me last week. "We asked [Jones] about putting on some weight and playing tight end, and he made it clear that he thought it was foolish. He said, 'So you want me to put on 20 pounds and be a 4.57 guy instead of a 4.37 guy?' When you put that into context, you have to admit he makes sense. Match up a 6-6 guy who is that fast and athletic with great hands on any corner – even the tall ones – and how do you stop him?" http://proxy.espn.go.com/nfl/draft05/columns/story?columnist=mortensen_chris&id=2025109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie0720 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Exactly, it's so stupid to turn him into a TE. It's a much more natural transistion from QB to WR than it is from QB to TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Originally posted by fpickering Also, someone tell me why he will succeed as a NFL WR for that matter? Natural athletic ability. Great Hands Good Speed and size. Understands the passing game, and HAS played WR in college as a freshman and some last season on certain plays. Position not completely forgein to him as many like to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Originally posted by fpickering Also, someone tell me why he will succeed as a NFL WR for that matter? EXACTLY. Being a physical freak doesn't guarantee success. Anyone remember Rickey Dudley, the TE out of Ohio State? In 1996, he moved up a bunch of spots because he was 6'6", chiseled, and fast. He's been nothing more than an average TE in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Montana Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Another good quote from the Mort piece linked above.... Georgia coach Mark Richt called Jones the most deceptively fast player he had ever seen."On any given day, he could be the most dangerous player on the field, " Richt said. "You try to take good angles on the guy, and he's still past you." Sports Euphemisms 101: "deceptively fast" = white guy :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
