Jones and Atkins?

[gregcook68]

Just curious, anyone hear what the scuttle butt was between Jones and Atkins during the game?

Dunno the topic of discussion but I will day this: no one - NO ONE - on this 2014 team busted his ass more than Pacman. He was flying around on defense and he got beat like a Timex (keeps on ticking!) watch at a sledgehammer convention on returns. If he thought Geno needed to be called out, that's fine by me. He earned the right this year.

It looked like that's what was going on, just curious as to the details. Usually those kind of things come out in the local news. I know you're not local but thought some that are may have heard something.

I saw that as well and now you have Guenther calling Atkins "Just a guy" and saying he needs to regain form or they need to find an interior pass rusher. I personally like that kind of talk. Here's Geno coming off of an ACL, which I give him some room for error on, who had signed a new extension and was widely considered one of the best DT's in the game. He has an off season and they call him out. Maybe it's along those lines that him and Jones were going at it.

Add me to the camp that has no problem with Jones calling anyone out. He was very solid this season !!!

I know you are local Army so I'm assuming there hasn't been any further elaboration there by the media?

I'm usually not a big TV kind of guy, so I don't really know.

I catch bits and pieces of things simply because someone else is watching something on TV in the house.

My mother in law or kids are the usual culprits. From Fox News to Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

God help me !!!

You still have young kids AND a mother in law living at home? I will pray for you Army!

Don't know what I would do without either. My boys and wife are my life and my mother in law treats me better than her own sons.

I'm a blessed man my friend. BLESSED.

Geno didn't play particularly hard after he signed his contract last year. It was just a few games before he got hurt, but he didn't look the same to me.

this year, the thought was that he'd come around the further his injury was put behind him. he did not.

I thought that Guenther did a terrific job this year. His best defender was just a guy, second best was also not right and then got hurt, and Michael Johnson was never really replaced. I suppose you could blame him for not lighting a fire under Geno and for Margus Hunt not learning to play football. Bengals should have held their Johnson instead of letting someone else play with it.

I'd draft a DE/DT in first and third round, and an OL in second.

Been there done that. I was hoping it was like that for you. I only have one child, a son 21, my mother and father in law have passed but not before celebrating their 73rd wedding anniversary!

My in laws were amazing and my parents have been amazing in laws for my wife!

It sure does help a marriage to click along when you have that kind of thing working for you!
