Good for him!

That's what I like to see! A potential diamond in the rough that we can keep an eye on. At 6' 3" with 4.5 speed he could have some potential so it'll be fun to see how he develops.

Great news. Introducing new WR's late in the season with no film always gives defenses problems.

Maybe selling beer.

Andy Tanner is indeed on IR, and I can't see a player having been cut close to 20 times finally making an impact on any team...

I had a feeling Jones would get the call. With all of the dropped passes last week, he can't do any worse if given the opportunity.

Change is good and potentially a diamond in the rough.

I like his name...rhymes with Kickalicious...

Looks like Payton is going back to his original formula for success. Now who takes KV spot.

SaintFanQ 12-11-2014 03:26 PM

Re: Saints Promote WR Seantavius Jones from Practice Squad
 
Glad Jones is to be given a chance! . . . . That puts out a message to the rest of the team that even in this late stage in the season, Payton is willing to give some new blood a try and that no ones guaranteed a playing spot if they don't perform.

Colston and the rest of the gang better make sure they don't drop the passes on Monday or we may see even more new names on the field for the next game!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Maybe we could IR a couple of guys and raid another teams PS and get reinforcements from there. Surely, we've been keeping an eye for good players on other teams PS's in case our back ups go down like this year.

From what SP said today, no one.

I didn't hear the interview, but comments I read say he's going to have a different role.
Sounds like he's gonna go back to the big nickel role in three safety sets which he excelled at last year. So it's technically not a benching, but it sounds like he's not gonna be the SS in two safety sets anymore.

Speaking of dropped passes, who's taking Graham's spot at TE this week?

Re: Saints Promote WR Seantavius Jones from Practice Squad
 
If Graham's shoulder is truly as injured as they say then someone needs to take his place. He's good but a one armed TE is a liability in all phases.

Yeah...

Not much "change" has been talked about, even with the KV 'benching' we all know he will be playing in the game and not much has changed. The cutting of Morgan was news but how that will fix this D is puzzling, third best offense and we cut WRs...

I am interested to see the Bears game, I want to see what changes have actually been made.

Re: Saints Promote WR Seantavius Jones from Practice Squad
 
The only change will be better effort from players. You can't make players play significantly better if talent isn't there. Yes, few players can be better/smarter on defense (Galette, Vaccaro) but most of the guys are playing at their talent level ( slow LBs, soft D-linemen, below average CBs...)

On offense solid O-line protection and reduced number of drops would be nice.

So how do you explain last year? Someone with better talent sneaked into their jerseys and played for them? :rolleyes:

brees84 12-12-2014 12:08 PM

Re: Saints Promote WR Seantavius Jones from Practice Squad
 
D-line made most of the guys look better than they actually are. Now they are just out of shape and soft. Other guys exposed...

Who will be the 4th on Monday night? Meachem or Jones?

I think Jones would be more versatile...

I'd be more comfortable with Meachem. He's been there.

5 catches total this year doesn't show it... He's been there, but can't get back there apparently... :rofl:

I think it's time for new blood. The kid is young and hungry.
Let's see what Jones can do.

There are many on this forum that keep stressing the youth movement and I tend to agree.

Yeah, and we're pulling scrubs off the street.

We knew Jean-Bustiste was a project, but I think just about all of us thought he'd get some quality playing time in the 2nd half of the season.

I just hope the problem is that he was simply much more raw than we thought, and can contribute next season.

His a$$ has to be raw from riding the pine. Are we ever going to see this guy? Secret weapon maybe? Althyough Gallette was raw? If SBJ is a 1 trick pony, I hope it's man to man.

One of the best ways to develop defensive talent is with special teams play, which is why its so puzzling to see SJB inactive. Then the one game you put him in for it's on a extremely important play at the end of the game and with some zone coverage (that he sucks in). I truly don't know if this organization knows how to develop talent.

Bottom line; we need to see SJB get some decent playing time as the #2 CB. At the very least he should be activated on game day to get special team reps.

At this point of the season SJB could be developing slower than coaches initially anticipated, his attitude or the kid's football IQ simply isn't that good.
