EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This isn’t going away, idt. Best thing they could do for him. They should rest him and make sure he is 💯 before activating him. These soft tissue injuries tend to linger, especially for fast twitch type athletes. Hopefully they lose a few games along this stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This was the risk in signing him. I am surprised he has played as much as he has. If I were the titans, i would bubble wrap Him until the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they gave up much, but they certainly haven't gotten anything either. They guy has already missed 3 games in half a season now 3 more. He's caught 21 passes. Last season he missed 5 of the last 6 and 7 overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I routinely see an old movie or listen to a song that was great just yesterday when I suddenly realize that was thirty or forty years ago. Also, there's a strange old man looking at me every time I stare in the mirror. Really creepy the way he mimicks everything I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has one big game and the rest he was good for 30-40 yards. Gets a couple of looks a game on one of the worst passing teams in the league (to this point, worse than they were last year without him). That's not commanding.

So when he lines up, they say "well, the Titans were 11-5 last year without him so we don't have to worry about him?" LOL, no. He commands attention which allowed more freedom for Henry, which in turn helped the passing game. Which is why I said losing both is a big blow.

Titans were #2 rushing team (Henry 126 ypg) without Jones last year. #4 and Henry 117 ypg this year. He has "helped the passing game" to fewer ypg than last season.

And the Titans are 7-2 after 9 games instead of 6-3 last year, and would have won that Jets game if they had Jones in the lineup. Look, there's no disputing that Jones is a difference-maker when he's on the field. And I stand by what I said about losing both as being a big blow to the offense.

They lost because Tannehill was getting destroyed--7 sacks (yet they still put up 15 4th Q points to tie the game into OT) and the D couldn't stop the great Zach "Mr. 4thQ" Wilson. But, because you say so, Jones and his 3 catches for 40 yards would have changed the outcome. Sure doc. You keep saying he's a difference maker yet you can't point to an actual difference he has made for the majority of the season. He's contributed 13 1st downs (on 31 targets) out of a team total of 201 and zero TDs. Neither their running game nor their passing game is better this year because of him. That's not a difference maker, unless you are redefining the term.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again for reasons that go beyond just his individual statistics. It’s the reason you add a guy like him and expect/hope for him to stay healthy all season for you.

To a place that can't be known or articulated, other than a bunch of people who might, like you, simply decide it's true? There's no reason to believe he would been the difference in that game. And no one is arguing about WHY they wanted him and what they EXPECTED and HOPED for. I'm saying it's overwhelmingly clear they didn't get that.

Yeah they didn’t get it because he’s been injured for a third of their games so far and now it will be more. I think at the very least we can argue that if he’s not playing he can’t help the team.
