Re: 2015-16 New England Patriots

Cyrus Jones needs to be cut. What does it say to the rest of the team that a total fuk up continues to get 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th chances. Not only was the "fumble" bad enough, but then he was too lazy to look down and jump on the ball at the 1 yard line even though it was still loose. Sign some guy off the street and send him packing.

Don't blame Slater as much. I'm curious how many reps he's gotten in practice returning kicks. I'm guessing not many.

I feel bad for the kid. As a 2nd round pick I don't think he's he's going anywhere just yet.

I don't. Getting paid a lot of money to field kick offs. Not sure he does anything else (he was horrible in coverage the few times he played corner). If he can't make better decisions he's going to find out what having a real job is like sooner than he thinks.

Thanks, didn't have time to review my DVR. Pretty clear he had to return it. I'm not as inclined as you are to give him slack, though. Just can't fumble there, even if it means that you're going down sooner than you need to.

I was in bed at the end of the 3rd and saw the highlights this am. Didn't even see where he caught the ball that's why I went to look it up. You're taught to keep your legs moving and that's what he was doing. Didn't think I was giving slack, it was just hat on ball and ball usually pops out.

Is that the same special teams that downed a punt on the 1, leading to a safety, and blocked a field goal?

Yeah I suppose it wasn't really special teams its was mostly Cyrus that sucked

Hester just got released by Baltimore. Pats should pick him up and put Jones on the bench until he sorts it out.

Hester has been almost as bad as Jones. Fumbled 5 times, lost one. Been shaky all year. Time for him to hang 'em up.

I believe he's worse than Jones. Hester was more responsible than anyone for the safety Monday.

What I would do is put Edelman back there, with instructions that under no circumstances is he to do anything except (a) fair catch or (b) yell "Peter"* and run away from the ball as fast as possible.

*did anyone else hear the explanation why "Peter" is used as code for "don't touch the ball"?

I watched that yesterday, I cried yesterday also. Not sure how you tell your kid he is going to die.

I'm not sure its possible to be worse than Jones. At least Hester has experience and has a better chance of straightening himself out. Besides, somebody has to return kicks. It can't be Edelman or Amendola because we need them as WR's.

If Hester would sign for a buck 50 Pats might do it but the chances of that are slim.

Chances of the Patriots showing any interest whatsoever are slimmer.

Re: 2015-16 New England Patriots

They **** well better do something. Cyrus Jones cannot be allowed to return kicks again this year, unless its the last week of the year with the #1 seed already clinched. One mistake like that in the playoffs will end your season.
