Fully agree. Loved Reeder’s amazing game against TB sacking Brady 3 times. That was years ago and there’s no freaking way he’s faster than Jones of making 145 tackles this year. When I downgraded the LB group I don’t consider Hoecht, Young or even Verse as more than Edge rushers. Good ones, hopefully great but where are our cover LBs? Other than Hummel we have none. TEs and RBs are going to kill us and I don’t see a trade happening.

Speights was supposedly very good in coverage working in space at LSU.

Reeder is very fast for an ILB. I would assume as fast or close to Jones. Rose boom is likely the ILB who is on the field in nickel. And obviously him and reader (says MCV) in Base. They will also pull all ILBs in dime and some big nickel packages, depending on the offense they are facing.

Exactly. The Knee was the Key!

You should post the whole convo, with Big Whit owning YT great Jake lmao.

But like I said it seems the knee and Jones overall play was the reason.

I’ll be curious to see if the Titans do anything with his contract by the end of the season or if he walks.

If he does end up walking it’ll be interesting to see what he gets on the open market.

This stuff never ceases to amaze me, how people can have such strong opinions about stuff they can't know.

None of us have seen Jones play this year. Shula, McVay, Snead, they have. Maybe their evaluation is more informed than internet fans (not to mention more expert)?

I get the gig is drawing attention to yourself with hot takes about stuff you can't know but, man, i'm really not the target audience for that stuff...

That’s not my perception. My lasting memory of Reeder is Shanahan repeatedly getting him isolated in coverage or taking advantage of the fact that he couldn’t get to the sideline. Jones is not the fastest guy either, but he reads and anticipates well enough to cover for it.

I dunno, I just don’t feel like we’re hearing the story, and like Alec Ogletree, Akers, etc we probably never will. You can’t tell me there’s a world where Jones isn’t better than any of the 5 guys they kept—I don’t care what defense they play. And injured guys don’t usually get traded. I guess we’ll know if he fails the physical.

Fair take, probably arent hearing everything. But the talent drop must not be as bad as it appears. Shula defense may have changed the math.
