I feel like Jones' role is one that we have quite a bit of depth for.  Kerr, Hughes, Parry are pretty good fillers.  While a very different player, Anderson getting more PT out of the injury is not a bad thing either...

I think you go with the guys you have. Anderson looked good last night when he came in for Jones and yes there will be growing pains with Anderson but I think you trust your draft pick and give him an oppturtunity while maybe opening a door for someone like Pendleton to make the roster.

I agree. The depth at DL is solid, unlike the OL. Losing Jones is not good, if only because everyone has expectations that he can be an impact player if he could ever stay healthy. But another ankle injury is a concern. Because so far as a Colt, he can't stay healthy, and therefore all those expectations are just wishful thinking. Jones has just been another guy instead of the D-line stalwart the Colts thought they were getting. Anderson; Kerr; Hughes. They can play the DT slot effectively, and ultimately, perhaps better than Jones. No need to go fishing in the free agent dung pile for Jones' replacement.

Sure we have depth. As in guys who can go on the field and play his position. But none of them are starting caliber or good enough for a team with Championship aspirations. Imo

Hopefully Anderson will turn into that type of difference maker though. He'll get his chance if Jones is out a few weeks. Kerr could possibly develop into a solid starter too IMO.

I don't know.  I was really impressed with Kerr early in the season last year.  And Parry has certainly been impressive so far.  I'm not comfortable saying neither is starter quality; though, that certainly could be true.  I would definitely rather have Jones available, but we're worrying about a much less troublesome injury situation than the team has had to deal with in recent years.  I'm actually much more worried about the Toler injury than this...

Is Ray McDonald still in trouble? Or did he get cleared, or is it taken care of? Or what's the deal there? He's the only guy that'd be worth signing IMO. But lets just hope Jones is ok. Having Jones makes a big difference in our D-Line.

McDonald is a scumbag. He was just indicted, and he's facing 8 years in prison for rape.

We have the depth at the position. It will be good to get them more experience, particularly Anderson. Hopefully Jones comes back healthy by midseason at the latest. I'm remaining optimistic. It's not the same ankle he struggled with last season, so time will tell what the recovery holds in store for him.

Ouch. Yeah I haven't seen anything about him since he got released a few months back. I didn't know if it could have been settled or maybe blown out of proportion a little. You never know with things like that.

Go with the guys we have. Henry Anderson, Keep Kelcy Quarles, and of course there is Hughes and Kerr.

That's exactly what we will do. I don't understand the grass is always greener mentality.

We have depth on the DL. The only position group that's deeper is WR. If we lost a top guy in another group it would be a bigger problem.

It sucks I loved the Langford signing and was excited about those two doing work this year. It looks like that will have to wait for a while.

well, roster cuts are coming so we should be able to fill the gap if needed. They probably will be more older players but we need that experience anyway.

You really believe that? Who do you have us cutting for this experienced D Lineman we need?

What are peoples opinions of Quarles?  I thought he did well in the first pre-season game but I haven't really noticed him since.

My thoughts are about the same. I can't say one way or the other, but I'm thinking at the least they'll keep him on the PS if anything else.

Yeah I know.  I'm almost 95 percent sure Jones has another high ankle sprain so we probably won't be seeing him for a while.

Now I know I suggested we stick with the guys we have, but I just noticed the Titans got rid of Derrick Lott.

I'm not saying he would be some kind of saviour or anything, but I'm thinking along the lines of finding a

last minute young gem(for depth) inside of some of these cuts teams are making.

 

I remember a lot of people on this forum were speaking highly of Lott before the draft as a DE or either NT prospect.

      I think I was wrong in my guess here. On later inspection, it seems like the more likely situation is that the part about his diabetes is still in this article, but it's just hidden behind a paywall..

      That could have happened. Could have been a HIPAA issue too.   But I think the fact that these other quotes existed (even if they were put in later) adds necessary context to this situation. It wasn't just AD being the victim of some smear campaign that somehow heavily influenced NFL teams...as seems to be the narrative. Instead, there were also concerns among different scouts (assuming it wasn't one scout) about other aspects, including his Combine workout.   So we know what some thought...and we know what happened. 10 teams drafted WRs before AD. Yes, 3 of those WRs were going earlier than him no matter what, but 7 other WR-needy teams opted for other WRs. And even Ballard actually traded down with him on the board. It seems fairly safe to assume that NFL teams didn't have him as a R1 WR, or top 5 at the position, for reasons beyond a couple comments from anonymous scouts.

      Cardinals need to sweep the Marlins in their 3 game series.  At minimum win 2/3.   It's a chance they cannot mess up.

      Honestly, isn't that kind of a base level journalistic integrity and ethics? I don't think he's setting up some arbitrary litmus test. I'm no journalist and have no idea what the professional standard is, but this to me seems like a pretty reasonable standard - if you are writing about someone and a source is sharing pretty disparaging information that might affect the subject to the tune of millions of dollars, the least you should probably do is to ask for comment from said subject, before you print that information.

      Kind of seems like you're setting up a litmus test for whether a reporter is "good" or not based on whether they do this thing you don't like. So maybe you could share some well-respected media in your opinion -- sports would be most relevant -- and then we could share some examples.    I agree that the best practice would be to reach out to the subject for a response. But if the subject declines or doesn't acknowledge the request, now what? Add a line saying 'subject declined to respond,' and now the unnamed sources are viewed with more legitimacy?
