AFC defensive player of the week?

[cdgacoltsfan]

JJ has been named AFC defensive player of the week?? How can this be?? This must be an error...right??? This has to be an AI thing. Our forum GMs wanted him replaced. 

[tweezy32]

He played against the Bears, that's how.

It was the Bears. Match him against literally any QB and WR of marginal skill difference, and I guarantee he isn’t even in the realm of conversation for this. 
 

With that being said: congrats to Jones.

Damn give credit when credit is due some of you guys are unbearable lol.

Some just can’t take being wrong.  JJ’s two ints were huge and dare I say it the secondary has been the strength of the defense through three games.

Olline is pretty good and maybe in the conversation as one of the better but not sure of elite status yet. JJ played a horrible Bears offense and a rookie qb. He was in the right place at the right time. Having your safety leading the league in tackles is a testament to how bad your front 7 has been playing. It is not a testament to how good Cross is. However, Cross is exceeding my expectations but he hasnt really been tested in pass coverage

If we wernt getting torched by RBs the first two games, our secondary would not be the "strength". They got torched by Caleb Williams that went for almost 400 yards on them... by far a strength.

That toe tap that Jones did on the INT was awesome

That yardage tends to happen when any NFL QB throws it like 50+ times.

Again, best in the league does not automatically equate to elite.  Not sure why you keep insisting on this.

Of the line, the linebackers, and secondary which group has played the best of the three through three games?  I am not saying they are world beaters by any means but they have been the best group of the three layers of the defense through three games.

Now if Richardson  is named offensive  player of the week versus steelers defense  they you can make a statement  like this.

Heads will explode if that happens.

Cross leading the league in tackles isn't a good thing.  Good for JJ!  Those 2 INTs were game changers (even if it was against the Bears).

 

I just wish he didn't have so many opportunities.  Let's switch that ToP number!

Its well deserved !

[PeterBowman]

It's not like the two interceptions were thrown right to him...he made two great plays on the ball too.

[AwesomeAustin]

Good for him.  He earned it. Why can’t people just be happy for someone that did well? This nonsense about if it was against anyone else.  Well, he did it against who the Colts were playing.  It’s like when someone takes away the best 2-3 plays a player makes and says their stats aren’t very good without them. Well, games come down to 2-3 plays all the time. Be happy people. 

[richard pallo]

The kid is a play maker.  He is only going to get better as he learns to read and react better.  That will come with more playing time.  That’s what Kenny and Blackmon are good at.  Read and react.  That will give us three in the secondary.  Cross is the hit man.  I think our secondary is developing nicely.

CONGRATULATIONS JAYLON JONES!!

 

A well-deserved honor after your absolutely outstanding performance in week 3!!

I did give him credit. But I’m not acting like he picked Mahomes or Rodgers off twice. He picked off a dude that had his best game against our secondary and had more yards and touchdowns in that game than the previous two combined. 
 

That’s like playing dodgeball against the kids in Billy Madison. It means nothing.

The first INT was great footwork. Jones was on that second one before Williams let it go. Like taking a home run hack at a fat curveball. 

 

It's well-deserved for JJ, but the victory lap stuff after one game seems really unnecessary. It's a long season.

 

And it's true that Williams is a rookie in his 3rd game...playing behind a terrible OL. The Colts took advantage...and that's a good thing.

 

But I was actually surprised how good he looked after only seeing bits of the first two weeks. If he can start hitting some of those passes he missed, he is going to be fun to watch. Glad he's in the NFC.

Sometimes this can be the strangest fanbase I have ever seen. Dude wins AFC Defensive Player of the Week and some are saying - It's only the Bears though. It is hard to win in the NFL no matter who you play. It seems like every time we win a game, some in here don't appreciate it. Crap is getting old. Some people are just miserable.
