    No news yet. It should either be Myles Jack or Minkah Fitzpatrick. Jack will be on the field every down so that's my guess.

    I read something that was posted here about how Jack struggled tremendously when asked to wear the green dot in Jacksonville. He got so focused on making sure everyone else was where they were supposed to be that his own play suffered.

    I read that as well. Good news is that he will be doing it with a top tier defense. Might be Minkah if not which I would be in favor of.

    Don't be shocked if it is a combination of Bush and Spillane, who have both handled it in the past.

    The really odd thing they did last year and some in the preseason was playing Bush on first and second down, then bringing in Spillane for third-and-long.

    He can't handle his own play so I hope its not him.

    I think I like the Idea of Minkah having it. We know He will be out there every play, and He seems pretty intelligent.

    Or it could make him more engaged and focused.

    That is true, Jack struggled with the green dot in Jax. It hurt his play bigtime. Prefer Bush and Spillane whoever is in there or Minkah. Let Jack do what he does best. If Bush or Spillane have the green dot your not going to loose much as neither one is dominate.

    He'll be starting to turn us all into alcoholics with his play.

    Probably put a bunch of dogs in a bag and the guy that pulls the green one wins.:cool:

    If he's not, it will be Spillane, who can handle the green dot.

    It's a major problem.
    Last few years when the Green Dot got hurt, the rest of that series fell apart.
    It took the rest of the game to get communication right again.

    It's almost like there was no one else prepared to take over.
    Like having no one that could punt, or extra point try, or even QB Hahahahahahaha!
