1. No matter what TL does it will be criticized as too little by some people just to get reactions and clicks.
  Ignore them ... if he had already somehow won the Super Bowl before the season begins they would say the point spread was too little ...
2. Atlanta is in cap hell make no mistake and are desperate to trade this 20 million dollar liability to someone. They naturally want to get something for him, but most teams know they are faced with a difficult choice. Keep Jones and run the risk of another injury shortened season (what do they really know?) and cut a a number of younger developing talent guys. They obviously want to keep the younger guys and move on from Jones. I say they are in a corner and any writer that will write articles saying any team is interested in Jones will get an atta boy and a chit to turn in for inside info later. I say call their bluff and wait and see what they have to do. Remember how crazy it seemed when we left Boselli unprotected and the Texans snatched him up? How many games did he play for them....
3. No comment on this one as I'll wait to see what the guy has inside him on the field, but yea ????
4. This is a different year as the cap lowering blindsided some teams. I look for two more waves of cuts that will provide us real opportunities to enhance our lineup.
5. see #3
6.Anyone with a middle name of "Snacks" is worth taking a flier on!
7. OH NO !! you mean those games I am watching on TV now are REPEATS! Next you'll be telling kids there is no Santa!!

1.  Kinda comes with the territory.  But I'm not sure it's people being hypercritical as much as it is the propensity for tome to react and panic, especially since we've been down for so long.  No big deal either way, especially at this stage.

2.  I'm no cap guy, but everything I've seen indicates what you said...that the Falcons are indeed in serious cap straits.  Under normal circumstances, especially since they took Pitts at 4, I would think Hurst would be a candidate for release.  But since they named Arthur Smith as their coach and he uses a lot of two TE sets, I think Hurst stays.  But I think between Ertz and Njoku, or perhaps someone lesser will become available after tomorrow that will enable the Jaguars to upgrade TE.
