Can't believe people are still slagging Marcus Jones after the season he had.

Who slagged Marcus Jones?? The only Jones I saw mentioned was MAC Jones..

The only way either Pop or Chism makes it: is if we intend on carrying Six WR's *somewhat unlikey*. There's only so much room in he Inn.
AJB - Doubs - Boutte - Williams and Barefoot.
IF Kyle Williams makes the jump he has a legit #2 ceiling with his Elite Speed.

I haven’t made any predictions.

I’ve said they have a talented group which includes Chism and Douglas.

I also pointed out that Boutte, Hollins and Douglas were entering a contract year… and that matters.

Mac Jones never made an All Pro team.

You love being wrong.

Mac Jones was NEVER an ALL PRO. As a rookie, he was in the Pro Bowl as an injury Sub and he received votes in the Associated Press's (AP) Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.

Yes, I misspoke. Thanks for pointing that out.

AJ Brown being traded isn't a secret. No one has a clue where he's being traded. Assuming that it's the Patriots when other teams have the capacity to trade for him is where many of the fans on this site are wrong.

I agree, nobody knows, but it’s clear the Patriots are the favorites based on Brown’s own comments and other evidence.

The only person LYING is you. Just like you're changing your story again.

YOU said he only saw offensive snaps in the TWO BLOWOUT WINS. I proved that you were wrong and stated that Chism saw Offensive snaps in every game he played. Which is FACT.

lying? changing my story?
I was pretty clear that he was inactive for 6 games and in 3 games got 2 offensive snaps.(kneel downs)
he saw some rotational snaps in the last 2 blow out games. thats it my friend
not sure what your argument is on Chism. I hope he is JE pt 2. I suspect he isn't and is a roster casualty, and leaves for another teams PS

Garbage. Antonio Gibson got hurt. There was no other injured guy.

They could have used anyone already on the team and did, they could have signed a street free agent, they could have traded for someone.

Chism made the gameday roster and kept it through the playoffs. Facts aren’t your friend.

Gibson. then Henderson. Then Chism. Then WIlliams
facts are Chism was serviceable as a KR

Serviceable as a rookie is good. Let’s assume rookies can improve.

1000% agree
I hope Chism does
but my gut says he isn't on the roster come Sept

Are we talking CB or Special Teams? At CB, he had the 2nd most targets on the team, but gave up the most yards and most TD's (7) as a slot guy. When he gets isolated is where he gets in trouble.

As a Punt Returner, he had an All Pro type season.

Unreal that it continues.

Defensive player of the month for October - along with the all-pro snub at punt returner.

Absolutely unreal the libel and slander against Marcus Jones continues, yet, here we are.

libel and slander?
it is what it is. the facts/stats do not lie. Marcus made some great plays, both defending passes and interceptions in big moments, absolutely changing the outcome of games. most here also believe he is best in game returning punts (or 2nd best)
but....he is targeted most often, gives up a ton of yards and TD's.
his passer rating against of 116 is ugly
that's not libel. that's not slander. that is fact

As a CB.

He stuck to his guy better than the vast majority of slots in the league, and the coaches obviously thought he was great, or they wouldn't have given him a nice contract.

facts?

I would rather have one of our 2026 UDFA's being our #3 or #4 KR and #6 WR. In any case, these roles shouldn't be a roster spot.

What I would really like is for our KR's be RB's and to have a #3 and/or #4 on the Practice Squad.

I think it is pretty clear that Wolf is upgrading the roster from when Bill and Mayo were here.
Players like Chism and Westover, who were on the 53, won't have as easy a path this year as last.
I have referenced it a few times on a few threads.
If Bryant, Crownover and Wallace look like they still have potential upside, they will be on the 53 man at the expense of players like Chism and Westover (and Dippre, and Lampke, and Jennings)

This. The KO seems to be more like a running play now.

No problem, kind of like when I said they sent the 31st pick for Lomu when you pointed out that it was actually 28. **** happens.
