Worilds to start over Jarvis Jones per Tomlin

No surprise there Jones will get a lot of playing time rookies don't start for Dick LeBeau. Jones will sub for both Woodley and Worilds whatever it takes to improve the pass rush over last season.

 

Do you think this lasts all season? Jones is gonna tear it up dude.

 

Tomlin was asked yesterday in the press conf. will the three OLB play in rotation for the Titans game. Tomlin answered with a Big Grin ..."Jones is going to play" One would have to be blind as how coach T has favored Jones from day one. Worilds better bring his A game each time he sets the field cause Jarvis is only a shirt tail away from the job!

 

what is more interesting is that Woodley also will
be rotated, Is that telling you something? The Steelers
are tired of not getting their money's worth

 

That's just more of Tomlin's strategy to keep the OLB's on their toes you know like musical chairs an equal opportunity!

 

Kinda like the running back by committee approach. Instead it's OLB by committee

Bman

 

I can see we won't get any pressure from the right side until Jones gets on the field.

 

Not getting all the jones love. He had zero sacks in preseason and only one move. He looked slow to me. Was he awful, no, but not the second coming of Lloyd at this point. I hope he turns out to be great, cause lord knows we need him. I was hyped we got him, but so far a little disappointed in his ability to get to the qb.

 

Totally agree dude can ball and it shows.

 

Dont get me wrong, I'll take the turnovers. But for someone who led college fb in sacks over the last two yrs, what's missing? Like I said I am hoping he turns out great.

 

More like coach T waiting / watching for one of the outsides to fail so he can start Jones he wants him in there sooner than latter! By committee :no:

 

i'm kind of stoked about the OLB by committee thing and even carter if he quits thinking and just plays, like he did when his job was on the line in the last preseason game, we could be hard to handle. I think carter just let his hair down and played football in that last game and his skills they first saw in him finally came through.

being a force with our OLB'ers again will allow other factions of the defense to preform better too. (Timmons and the DE's)

not to mention our new force at NT. we should be an even better defense this year. I've got high hope for this group.

 

Unless Worilds plays lights out, this will probably be his last start.

 

Weird that I keep seeing that article about Woodley doesn't think there will be a rotation.

I wonder about the communication inside the team.

Should be one team one voice.

 

I don't know if it will be a true rotation more of packages. I'm stoked to see the psycho package this year. Timmons, Wood, Jones, Worilds, and Carter all on the field at the same time with Vic mac the anchor could make things really interesting.

 

yeah and how did the RB by committee work out for him last year.. and they go back to it this year... guess some people never learn

HINES

 

worilds better watch his temper and stupid penalties

HINES

 

I think right now, the FO has some guys very nervous. That is what leads to these kind of comments. It has already happened more than once this year.

Woodley...I don't expect a rotation.
Tomlin......Expect to see Jones brought in on a rotation.

Redman....I don't think a running back by committee works. I want bulk of carries.
Tomlin......Until Bell comes back we will be running back by committee.


This wreaks of a leadership issue. Tomlin needs to get back control of his locker room. I can tolerate it this week, but Tomlin (who I am a fan of) needs to make sure this isn't happening as the year goes on.

As a note to the players, when you are asked a question about playing time or strategy from a reporter...here is your answer.

"You will need to ask coach. I'm just going to go out and do my job to the best of my ability and do what the coach asks me to do."

Now post that answer in your locker rooms and keep your stinkin' mouths closed.

 

Wow, not sure what it is you're expecting from a rookie in preseason and one who is trying to learn DL's schemes. I have to admit I think this is the first i've heard of someone not impressed with how Jones has looked so far. I'm excited about what he will bring to our D and think he's gonna be a big factor. He seems to have a nose for the ball as I thought he was around it an awful lot. The guy makes plays. He has definitely flashed some of the "it" factor imo.

eh, to each his own i suppose

 

you keep going back to last year for some reason. this team is very different than last years. 19 different players on this one then last year. I guess the ravens will win the SB too, they did last year.

 

Mac...you didn't know this already? All this time I thought you were a football guy! I have never understood comparing a team to the previous year. You can form some basic judgements that MIGHT hold true such as schemes, style of play, etc., however, each year they have new players added and the older guys change too (hopefully for the better). If you want another example here look no further than the Patriots. I find it odd that no one (meaning the "experts") has really questioned how good or bad they are going to be. They are a completely different team than they were last year and, if it wasn't for playing in the AFC East, might not even be a play-off team this year. Oh, well!

 

Tarheel your finally starting to realize, that the players coach is full of BS. I feel coach T does not know how to handle these ball players. Nor do they trust him, I am surprised it has taken this long for some of these players to realize this.He is all talk and NO action. You will always have problems when you let the prisoners run the asylum. They have TUNED him out. There is a serious communication problem with Coach T and his players and it shows up in TO', penalties, ST's which in turn loses games.
