Right....

He ****ing better be.

About damn time. And let's hope he plays Defensive Tackle.

He’s not good against the run as a DT or DE. Let him rest another week.

Fingers crossed he's back on the inside. Would love to see his stats at DT vs. DE. In addition to pressures, sacks and tackles... seems like Jones was tipping a pass at least once in most games while at DT. Not sure he's had one at DE.

SR, can you DM Spags and have him end the experiment?

Hate to inconvenience him.

Is Mike Pennel starting?

Sigh. We miss that guy way more than is recognized.

The source that relayed the Thornhill news last week is now telling me Jones is going back to DT.

Per Bob Fescoe…

Jones against the most sacked QB in the NFL

I LIKE IT

LMAO

I hope so. I sure do hope so.

Our pass rush

If the Defense is “fixed” from benching Sorensen for Thornhill and moving Jones back inside, it’s really going to be hard for me to make the “coaches know better than the fans” argument again.

I always assume there is something the coaches see that we don’t to justify some of these odd decisions. These two moves seem pretty obvious given the early returns of the season.

Last week WFT had three sacks on Mahomes, Chiefs had ZERO. No Big Mac for you!!! BTW: I noticed I haven't seen the Chris Jones Big Mac commercial on TV lately. Guess they're re-shooting it with Mike Danna...

It’s simple.

They absolutely never saw us adding Jarran Reed at DT and when they did, it made the most sense to move a DT to DE to balance the line. Similar to what Andy talks about with the OL putting “the best 5 guys on the field” philosophy.

It was absolutely worth taking a swing at it and it’s a shame Jones at DE didn’t work both times they tried (brief stint in 2018) but it’s gonna be nice having his disruptive talents back where they are most effective. Let’s just hope the days of “selling out for a sack, leaving wide open running lanes” are over and he is a smarter DL. If not, Derrick Henry is about to have a career game.

Yes we do.

It's interesting to me that they're already pulling the plug on the DE experiment.

Jones must have hated it as much as I originally did.

It was a dumb ****ing idea to start out with...


Rams - “let’s move arron Donald to DE”

That sounds just as reeruned as what we did

His spirit doesn’t like Derrick Henry so doubtful he will be back.

At least we aren't waiting until the end of the season to attempt change like that pillowbiter Sutton in 2018.

Back or not, it won't make any difference if he lines up at DE.

Is your source Burt Vreech!?!?

It's probably Marty. And no, he doesn't actually have insider info.

its gonna be a boom fest against Henry with Gay and Bolton

Like lots of things in life, you can be too close to the situation to see the big picture. I think everyone, even good coaches are guilty of this.

Incorrect.

We are signing Mercilus, so Jones has to go back inside.

I was lowkey upset we couldn't keep him. Made such a difference in the run game.

Last time you tried this gimmick it failed miserably.

Do not care about Chri$ Jone$ anymore.

This would be only the second game this season that BOTH Chris Jones and Frank Clark have played in.

This is gonna age like milk...

All it would tell you is the coaches expected a better result and saw the same thing we did. Not sure it validates or invalidates anything.

While I get your point and think it's the most bizarre thing in the world that Sorenson wasn't benched for Thornhill earlier, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that most times the coaches know a lot better than the fans. This situation is the exception, not the rule.

Is there anyone you care about in a positive manner on this team anymore, Tex?

He can't like his results playing outside, all must know it's not working.

I honestly expected us to be a little disappointed with the change. I figured there had to be SOMETHING significant the coaches were seeing that we weren’t.

If that move works out well, I’ll never quite understand why the staff seemed reluctant to make the move.

And yes, the coaches know better than us the majority of the time. This one is still a head scratcher though.

LMAO This was good

BlackOp theory time: Spags played Jones at DT too much for his liking in the Philly game. Jones is saying fine, then I’m not playing until I’m 100% healthy.

Jones basically said he was making a business decision in a tweet. Andy said it was a distraction. We know how bad Jones wanted to play DE full time.

He did?

Maybe they felt like Thornhill had motivation problems, or there was that weird comment from Reid about Sorenson not missing tackles because he’s soft. I’m almost sure that was some kind of message to Thornhill. Maybe they thought he was shying away from tackles.

Yeah he said he has to protect what pays him. Which you could take multiple ways.

I’m on my phone but it’s on his Twitter unless he deleted it.

What a bitch!!

Lets hope that Jones has it in his "Spirit" to play and give 100%.

I'm not sure where he's best against the run, but he is definitely better at rushing the passer at DT.

Is this true?

Does he have any actual tackles? has he gotten close enough to a ball carrier to even miss them? Inquiring minds want to know.

I think they just thought they had something more in Jarran Reed. He's been a huge disappointment. Should've just used that money to sign an actual DE and kept Jones inside.

I mean he has only 7 tackles this year. He hasn't really played and when he does play, he takes himself out of position to make a tackle.

he got two sacks in the opener dipshiit

Haven’t looked at his Twitter in a while. Looks like he’s becomes a holy roller. NTTIAWWT.

I was ****ing joking, dude.

What? Last time Thornhill moved back to starter and we balled out.

Eat shit ****.

Plenty. Just not CJ, CEH, HB, Hitchens, Neiman and our stupid Punter...I don't mean to be negative, it's more like I'm indifferent and just don't care anymore. That leaves about 47 players that I do support in a positive manner. And if you remember, I always supported Tyreek, even when the shit got bad.

Jones made the comment on more than one occasion that he alwyas wanted to play DE. I'm not sure if he thought he could get more of Clark's cash that way, but it really hasn't paid off.

Why are you angry babe?

It doesn't even make sense having Jones at DE. Having a disruptive DT that can pressure the QB does so much more for you than an edge rusher. DTs can get to the QB faster as they are closer and they don't allow the QB to step into the pocket, so they help the edge rushers get more pressure.

Move him back Spugs. I refuse to call him Spags anymore, although I will occasionally call him Spaghetti.

I do recall that.

You just seem to have become awfully negative this year in a Red Dawg-ish sort of way and I hadn't remembered that sort of pessimism in the past from you.

And does the above imply that you're supportive of Sorenson and our special teams specialist Lammons who has 3 penalties? Because I would think you could spread some of your negativity in their direction to ease the load on more productive players like CJ.

Dont start using me and posting things I didn't say to make a point...

Remember when I said..."watch for KC to "magically" get their defense back in order"...well, they just pitched a shut out in the 2nd half the following game.

It really pisses you guys off...it's amusing as I dont take the NFL for more than entertainment. It's fun escapism embedded in me from a young age...like watching a movie. You can get involved in it..even though you know it isn't entirely real. The actors are invested in it ..at that moment.

I get pissed as the game is happening...but that usually ends when it's over...too many times watching Clete destroy my fantasy.

The Chiefs sucking for the first 5-6 weeks was good for the health of the NFL and their new 17 game season.

If you can allow yourself to be honest...this season is much more entertaining than last year. KC coasted the entire year...was almost boring. They are actually better on offense this year than in Mahomes career. Like I told another poster...get back to me around week 10. He was saying they wouldn't even make the post-season.

Funny that you should bring up Sorenson, because he was at a different level of not caring about than anyone on my list. So much so that I forgot to even mention him! Lol! And regarding CJ, maybe some clarification is in order - I stopped caring about him playing DE. It was such a dumb idea to begin with and such a complete failure IMO. Add that to the fact that he's missed 1/3 of the games played so far, that it was too frustrating to keep getting upset over, so I just stopped caring. So, he'll stay on my list until he gets moved back to DT and can be counted on for making significant contributions. Like I said, there's a far superior amount of players that I do care about in a positive way. One such player is Mecole Hardman, who many here can't stand. Do I get any positive caring points for him?

I saw on a FB page that they said Jones will be back AND back at DT.

So who is the NFL rigging the Superbowl for this year?

Hopefully us.

Lol remember Ragland + 3rd for Fitzpatrick? Lolololololol

Edit: LMAO you ****ing dork, you posted your supposed "insider info" crap about Thornhill starting over Sorenson Saturday afternoon. Like we didn't have an entire weeks worth of practice reports that made it painfully obvious. ROFL

Didn't he lose weight to play DE? Meaning he needs to gain again to play DT?

Nothing says you don't care about specific players anymore than bitching about them incessantly.

Not really he may have slimmed down a bit but not much, that's the reason he is bad at DE, he is fast for NT but too big and slow to play DE all the time.


He was an all pro tackle because he was closer to the QB in the middle of the line and could get there faster. I think they just fell too much in love with what he did on limited snaps outside on obvious passing downs last year.

He'll let you know as soon as the conference championship games are over.

Hopefully Frank Clark has been taking his Immodium every day so he can play Sunday.

I never said that deal was happening.

I do have a good source that feeds me info. Not Marty. Marty has been wrong.

You sucking Bob Fescoe's dick for insider info?
