Quote:Fred Taylor addressed Julius Thomas' play in the post game show.

 

He said that though he isn't getting a lot of catches, he is commanding enough attention from defenses to draw coverage away from the outside, which is enabling Hurns and Robinson to be more effective.

 

He was saying as long as he is doing that, he is okay with the lack of statistical productivity.

 

Now I haven't seen any coaches film to be able to say this is true or not or to elaborate upon what FT said, but if FT is correct and JT is taking coverage from the outside, then I can't be too hard on him at this point.

 

I thought the same thing defended JT until yesterdays game.

 
Can't believe we paid that many millions for a fat distraction for other teams.

 

It only takes a little while before opposing teams figure out a dude like him is no longer a threat and quit paying attention to him. If he's hurt, IR him, get him off the field and get him back in shape. If he doesn't look better for 2016... cut him.

 

I'm so tired of the Jags being a FA vacation spot. I hope in the future we put together contracts that require production or reduced pay.
