Game thread- Jacksonville @ Baltimore (Pre season)

[Pyramid Head]

This just in, Deonte Thompson is fast.

[bmorecareful]

Rainey and Thompson have looked significantly better and more explosive at returner than Jacoby Jones.

And "he's going against 3rd stringers" isn't much of an excuse... as most STs players, outside of a few core guys, are backup caliber players anyway.

[Cj34]

Thompson is flat out exciting to watch.

Curtis Painter checks in...will he get another shot somewhere else?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

There you go Streeter!

[Dade]

Streeter streaks to the endzone!

Tommy Streeter.

Nice play. I'm hoping he sticks.

[BigPlayReceiver]

"Touchdown" Tommy!!!

This just in, so is Tommy Streeter.

[wickedsolo]

That was a nice route by Streeter.

I fully agree. And I think Laquan (and Doss) look better than Jones as the #3 WR also. Obviously it is early, and obviously there is something to be said about having a lot of game experience, but I really don't see how Jones is really "needed." I know he is quality depth, but I suspect he will have the #3 WR spot handed to him (as well as the return duties), and I am not sure that is the right call.

I guess it is a good "problem" to have though, hard decisions about who gets the PT.

Streeeeettteeerrr!!

LOL at the fans screaming at Joe making him blush. I want to say its girls screaming at him...but we all know it's grown ass men.

I do agree with this sentiment, but Jacoby did have 1 kick off return where he almost broke it for a TD.

[wickedsolo]

I really like Ricky Brown.

He's another one I am kind of rooting for to make the team. Kind of a no nonsense lunch pail LB.

[RavenScallywag]

So...what's the bad or ugly for this game?

Not much there...Probably the ugly is the Jags. Period.

True. I probably need to watch it again; at first glance I had attributed most of that to the blocking, but I may be remembering it incorrectly.

And I still think Jones is probably the best returner, but not by so much as to make him invaluable. My main concern is him being the #3 WR by default. I really think Laquan deserves it, and I probably would put Tandon in ahead of Jones also.
