I watched the game Thursday night (Browns vs. Broncos) and I have Sean Jones in my fantasy league, so I was paying particular attention to him during the game. It seemed to me like he was playing further back than a SS normally does and that Brodney Pool was playing closer up. Did Pool become the SS and Jones the FS? Because I thought orginally that Jones was the SS.

Sean Jones? (1 Viewer)

Looks like he might be sharing time for awhile....

Any thoughts on holding on to him??

Unless Jones is telling stories about his knee (and why would he?), what possible future good comes from rotating Mike Adams and Nick Sorenson in? Must be something more here.
I agree Jene, perhaps it has something to do with Jones contract situation. 
Jones, who's in his final year of his contract, was hoping to sign a lucrative deal in the off-season. He said during camp that his first choice was to return to the Browns, but at that time, it appeared they might not be able to afford him.
Safeties who had similar statistics to Jones over the last two years have been hitting paydirt, including former Giants safety Gibril Wilson, who signed for more than $6 million a year with the Raiders. On the first day of free agency, he inked a blockbuster six-year deal worth $39 million, including about $16 million guaranteed.
What's more, Jones, who's making $2.145 million this season, has better numbers than Wilson over the past two seasons. Jones has five interceptions and more than 100 tackles in each of his past two years as a starter, while Wilson, coming off a Super Bowl victory, had 92 tackles and four picks for the Giants last season and 100 tackles and two interceptions in 2006.

Make sure you stock up on the TUMS before the game. I've been in that situation. Pray for a pick 6 or some type of big play.

Did Jones get injured????
I know they were rotating, but he hasn't been in on the last three defensive series. What's up with that?

He apparently aggravated the knee he said wasn't bothering him at some point in the first half.Each safety was rotating out once every three series prior to that.Rick Blaine said:

Browns SS Sean Jones left with an ankle injury late in the first half.
Jones was not on the field to start the second half and there was no immediate indication if he would return. Earlier in the season Jones was sidelined with a knee injury and the Browns have been bringing up back slowly. | 11/17/2008 10:41:00 PM

I fully expected Winslow to have at least 6 or 7 receptions. Lost by 2 pts. Time to plan for next season. With Jones getting hurt again I wouldn't have enough DB to start next week if Sanders it out again.

I would say that Clev is about done w/ him to; this could be a good thing next yr.

Go Gators.My concern is more of what I saw Monday night. The safeties were playing deep a lot. The talk of the rotation seems to be gaining more steam and Jones only seemed to learn about it maybe a week ago. What is also concerning for me is neither Pool or Adams had solid stats with Jones out.Also his 8 tackles came against Denver. That's about as ideal of a matchup he'll see.

Found that a little weird/concerning also. Decided to HOLD in a couple leagues depending on Bramel/Nortons feedback on this as well.

I wouldn't have him projected to a 6-2...but I'm not the Guru.
I said Beason was over-projected a couple of weeks ago and he smashed even Norton's lofty projection. I think the injury and rotation are both serious concerns. However, if Jones is not on the injury report, he was playing two of three series last week. That should be enough for him to hold value if healthy. I think I'd be looking at other options if I had them, however.IAMCANADIAN
Footballguy
Thanks Bramel... I decided to cut bait on him after your feedback. Other options for me do seem to be pretty positive at this point, so I won't risk the injury concern... which truthfully, feels to me like a "questionable" for this weeks game anyhow.

Not questioning the "man/guru" or anything... but why aren't you him again Bramel? Personally have found your input much more up to date than norton's anyway.

Call me one of the Guru's apprentices if you like.
The differences in our FBG responsibilities make it much easier for me to look a little more up-to-date. Norton is tracking down information on every defender to attempt to accurately project them both weekly and for the rest of the season. He submits an updated file once a day. Any new information he gleans doesn't see an update for nearly 24 hours. Since I have the benefit of not having to go in hibernation to generate all those projections, I have the time to feed my unhealthy obsession with posting in the Forum.
what do you mean? 4 tackles (3 solo) and an interception is usually a pretty solid week for a fantasy DB.

Thought I saw one solo. NVM. Sadly all of them are a waste now.

can he be relied on now, with a tasty match up against the eagles?I have to decide between him or Mikell. I'm not sure how much the rotation is in affect with adams, but he seems healthy and I could use solid pts from my DB this week, however, last time i started him he burned me, the last time the browns played on monday night, by getting hurt, what to do?

I have Sean Jones too and I'm scared to start him... is he healthy now? Whats the rotation look like???
