    He's BACK! Brad Jones Is Your Starting Dime LB

    http://gnb.scout.com/story/1484643-j...f3aHkM.twitter

    Back in the lineup was veteran Brad Jones, who played 13 snaps in place of A.J. Hawk as the lone inside linebacker in the dime package. Jones started and played every snap against Seattle but hadn’t seen any other significant action, other than 34 snaps in Week 6 against Miami for injured Jamari Lattimore.
    Now you have no reason to fear AJ Hawks partially torn (probably) hamstring/quad leg injury.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Would you rather see Hawk?

    Insert Richardson as the "Mike" in the dime. Problem solved, I think.

    He played early and often versus the Vikes.

    Not as afraid of a Matthews/Jones inside combo.

    Well now TEs will only have 1-2 yards of separation instead of 4-5. That's something!

    I don't hate this if it's dime only but why was Clay on the sidelines on a few third downs? Is it because he tried really hard on the play before?

    Can't complain about not rushing the passer if you're taking yourself off the field in passing situations.

    He was on a snap count due to the aggravated groin. He didn't pull himself. (Not sure that sounds right....)

    Maybe an equipment problem with Burnett or Dix then because I saw him three times on the screen at the beginning of the game for the D.

    Brad Jones is the communication helmet guy if Hawk can't go. So one or both of them will be in for every play.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Why can't Burnett be that guy? He plays every down, doesn't he?

    Cut Hawk and Jones for all I care.

    Again, lol... good God again...

    The solution is the 3-3 with Matthews roving. The 3 LB's should be Matthews, Neal, and Peppers.

    Jones and Hawk have no business being on the field ever, but since we're stuck with them and Barrington/Lattimore - I'd rather see Barrington get the occasional look.

    Given that the Pats usually throw a ton of short stuff, and run a lot out of 3 wides, I'd run a lot of 3-3 against them, cheat the safeties up, and double Gronk. I don't fear Edleman or Lefell - let them both have their 6-8 catches, but shut down the run game, make quick tackles on the short throws, and contain Gronk.

    If they did that, we'd have a chance... but I don't think dunderdummy will do any of those things. I fully expect us to get outcoached, and to be lit up big time by Brady.

    Geezus, here we go again - Hawk - the indispensable communication man. And Jones is the backup? What about Burnett, who is out there every damn play?

    Hasn't Jones always been the best coverage guy among the linebackers?

    Why don't we go to flash cards ala Chip Kelly? Better yet, why not just play the 3-3 as Wist suggests ALL THE TIME. Let the players play.
