I am sure he is just saying it to not light a fire under him for this weeks game. At least i hope he is not serious.

 

[Thruthefog]

Hope he’s ok.

Put him on IR.

Good heads up for an excuse when Trubisky looks like Tom Brady against our defense on Sunday.

MP is one sly and tricky rocket scientist pretending to be a Head Coach of an NFL team.

We damn well better A gap blitz this QB especially when Snacks is in. Getting sick of having 2 guys on defense just standing around in the middle of nowhere.

I hope the Vikings hire him.

I expect Mitch to perform somewhere between Carr last week and Darnold last year.



Should be enough to get him to the Pro Bowl for a second straight season.

Put him on IR.

By his statements on many issues and more importantly related to him wanting LB Jones extended, here is his reasons why he thought this was a good idea (also why I believe you're correct he should go on IR).

Why the Lions gave a 2-year extension to linebacker Christian Jones

“I think he is a guy that just continually gets better with coaching,”
BB_72: you're full of shit MP, what fucking coaching are you talking about ?

“He understands more of what we’re trying to do every single day.
BB_72: really coach. Have you seen his play on the field ? Where exactly does your assessment correlate with what we the fans see ?

His numbers are up this year, with 40 tackles, two sacks, four passes defended and one fumble recovery through the first half of the season. He also has three quarterback hits, one off his total from last year.
BB_72: So are Jordan Hicks numbers who you didn't sign as a FA this past spring.

Jones ranks 72nd among the 82 linebackers who have played enough snaps to qualify, according to ProFootballFocus.

He’s a big guy,” Patricia said. "He’s a big linebacker, he can do a couple of different things really well.
BB_72: so, all a player has to have to be on your team is do a couple different things well ? He doesn't do anything well at all in case you haven't noticed which you haven't, couldn't and won't.

"I think he just gives the offense another guy they have to deal with, from that aspect of it. He’s a guy that we can put in multiple different situations and he handles that at a high level week in, week out.
BB_72: you are one dumbass, mofo, who cannot see what true talent is in an NFL player nor coach a talented player properly when you get such. Jones' only talent is suckering you into giving him an extension.

Back to the Future

The What if's ? before signing the Bearded one

Lions sign John Harbaugh

Hires Bevell and Don Brown (sticks it to little ole Jimmy, Again)

What are the Lions' 5 biggest needs heading into the offseason?

And speaking of bad Florida prospects, the Lions unsurprisingly need a new three-down ‘backer because Jarrad Davis has been an absolute nightmare. Unfortunately, Quinn has a weird fetish for dinosaurs that are maladapted to the modern game. Christian Jones was recently given a two-year extension that will pay him roughly $2.3M in 2020, which is perfectly reasonable considering it’s late ‘90s money for a late ‘90s backer. The guarantees are low, though, so the Lions are by no means married to him and could easily part ways with him if something better comes along or if he voices his opinions.

Jahlani Tavai is the only linebacker who should figure into the long-term plans and it remains to be seen if the team figures him for a Will or Mike. Wherever they slot him, they desperately need a competent player at the opposite spot. The problem is that the linebacking draft pool seems shallow and that few quality free agents are hitting the market this offseason, which seems like a great excuse to keep making excuses for Davis.

He is a better DC than HC.

^^^^

I was worried Quinn gave Jones the Levy treatment/contract similar Mayhew's mistake.

Reads like it fairly easy to get out of but the contract isn't for public consumption on OTC or SpoTrac

That's highly debatable and not worthy of debating all at the same time.
