K-Rhodes25 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 It sucks that Thomas Jones had such a bad game. It was %99 the o-lines fault. I think that when he broke off those 2 10 yard runs it showed what he can do every play with a little help. I think hes the real deal and if he can get some help on the line he can carry this team.

4HCrew Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 yeah I feel bad for a guy who forced is his way out of Chicago for a big pay day... I feel worse for all of the die hard fans that pay good money every year to see this team play only to come away unfulfilled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Why does Thomas Jones get the "o-line sucked" excuse whenever Kevan Barlow and Cedric Houston couldn't get it last year?Yeah, the offensive line did suck, but you aren't going to be confusing Thomas Jones and Walter Payton anytime soon.

BornJetsFan1983 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Because Barlow sucked, and sucked bad. Did you watch the games last season? Give me a break if your putting TJ and KB in the category. You got to ****ing kidding me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky Jet Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 He is a North- South runner. he needs a mauling OL in order to open holes for him. He sucked before he got to CHICAGO. Our OL leaves a lot to be desired but lets not blame TJ for a terrible Mangenius personnel decision! Eric should know and use his personnel a lot better then he does. Are we really a 3-4 team? Vilma, like TJ, is getting screwed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yes, Barlow did suck bad. And Thomas Jones is simply average. No, you are dumb. If the OL is great and our opponents are weak, then TJ will put up great numbers and therefore will be above-average. League average = 4.0ypc Thomas Jones average = 4.0ypc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gang_green03 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Almost every RB needs at least a solid line to be effective. I think people are so delusional sometimes. How good do you expect him to be? He's a good RB nothing more nothing less. Its as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMaynard Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 "Thomas Jones sucks" "It is not his fault, it was the o-line" Common guys, one game? Against the best d-line in the NFL?

League average = 4.0ypc Thomas Jones average = 4.0ypc I disagree. We played quite a few "weak" opponents last year and Jones could only muster 4 100 yard games. Jones is average regardless of the situation. Being ranked 16th in the league last year is about as average as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 you know even if he is only average that is still a huge upgrade over what we had last year. Is an average, 29 year-old RB worth $5M/year AND dropping down in the draft to the point where we missed out on the top BADLY NEEDED guard, that would do more for our running game than this mediocre RB alone? We'd have been better off with Blalock & a Chris Brown/Leon Washington backfield and another $3M/yr in cap space to make a UFA like Faneca more affordable a year later.

JetCane Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 you know even if he is only average that is still a huge upgrade over what we had last year. Yes it is, and they made this deal not knowing that Houston would retire. The RBBC we had last year was not coming back for an encore. He'll get the 4 yds per carry if the OL decides to block and open some holes. If the OL doesnt block it will be a long year anyway. The FO could have spent some $ on FA OL since they are under the cap, but they are cheap bastids (how much are they charging to park and take a bus to the stadium again?)
