Matt Jones benched for Hankton? (1 Viewer)

I would say that Wilford will end up being the best from here on in. Garrard seems to look for Wilford.

So it's your opinion that this is Garrard's job for the rest of the season?

The latest word on Leftwich is that he went to see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion about his ankle. Leftwich hasn't even dressed the last 2 weeks. No word on if he's going to schedule surgery or just rest.
JMO, I don't think he's an option for at least the next couple of weeks.

I didn't see the game but your comments are interesting as I believe that Del Rio had Jones watch tons of film of Randy Moss during the offseason. :(

Matt Jones sucks!! It's a shame he's pullin' a paycheck with that pathetic performance he had this past weekend. I mean, here's a guy who was considered a breakout type of player and he's been an absolute disappointment...
wrong tape
that would be my guess... there seems to be something deeper & del rio doesn't seem to like leftwich... maybe del rio felt lefty lied about extent of injury and it is trust factor... there is some history with del rio getting burned by putting leftwich in playoffs last season after long layoff & predictable rust...but if leftwich gives team best chance to win, he could be cutting off his nose to spite his face...PFT speculated that if jags don't make playoffs del rio's job may not be as secure as it seems to some now... don't know about that... i like/d del rio, but i don't think he has handled this well... i'm biased, though, as i think leftwich is superior to garrard...there does seem to be bad blood between the two... leftwich has gone out of his way to contradict HC in press at every opportunity lately... if del rio stays, it is as if he is trying to grease rails to his departure... can't blame him for wanting out if he thinks he isn't viewed as starter anymore, but not sure if he is handling it the right way... imo he could make his point (if it is start me or trade me) just as effectively behind closed doors...

I think Leftwich and JDR were already on the outs, but I think it really went south when Del Rio publcly said on a Tuesday "I'm not going to announce my starter to keep the other team guessing" and then Leftwich went to the press 2 days later and said "I haven't taken any snaps in practice. It's going to be Garrard for sure".
That's pretty much a surefire way to tick off the coach.

As a Colts fan and an impartial observer, here is my take:
Matt Jones- overrated. Terrific size, average skills, nice speed. Not tough enough to handle a weekly beating. Especially if Lefty is the QB. With Lefty's long, slow delivery of the ball, it gives the Safety time to load up on the Jags WRs.
Reggie Williams- Most physically talented, talks too much! He gets going so much with his mouth, I think he really puts himself out of games. Route running has been suspect to me. I think he is more of the Randy Moss type of WR. Just less talented.
Ernest Wilford- Most consistent WR of them all. If not in the stats, certainly in what he gives you every week. He is like a Keyshawn to me.
For these reasons, I think Wilford is the one to keep here. I would think the Jags move one of the other 2 in the offseason. Try to pick up a proven leader at WR via FA.
Garrard is better than Lefty IMHO. Lefty needs to fix his mechanical flaw to move his game to the NFL success level.
Just my $0.02

Just a quick bump to keep your eyes on Hankton as a possible sleeper this week, depending on the Wilford ankle injury situation. (Wilford was having a great night before the injury.) Hankton had a couple of catches after Wilford left the game.
Jones had another uneven performance last night.

Yes he did. But the crowd was getting on him for dropping another catchable pass and for jumping offsides.

Jones remains untapped potential. I figured we'd see more TDs (a lot more), but the inconsistancy is expected at this point in his career. Might, just might, be a great buy-low in dynasty right now, if his owner needs help now.

"One" being the important factor here.

I did not expect this level of inconsistency in his second year. I don't know that anybody did (anybody who drafted him anyway).
