Matt Jones

Is Matt Jones the best offensive player we have right now? He is running strong and is a great pass catching RB. I hope he continue producing like he is.

Definitely the bright spot of this team!

 

[SaltGator]

He is solid, has been exceeding my expectations this year.

 

[NCOGator]

He is on track to have 1K season and that is with not having the first game of the season and not being the "Go-2" guy until late in the Kentucky game.

 

[ATXGator]

Yes.. He is running hard and great... no doubt here!

 

[TN G8tr]

Can't complain about anything he's done. Taylor gives him a spell and they complement each other. I am wondering if Taylor is 100% after the KY spear in the back?

That's a good question! He hasn't been the same since and what about the Freshman Powell? Is he back to 100% yet?

He is definitely the workhorse with how he is being used but I just don't see how a 235 pound back goes down so easy when watching the other 225+ backs in the SEC.

With Harris at QB, absolutely. He is mediocre at best when Driskel is in.

Its true - go watch the offensive plays only tape on the Bama and Tenn games - you could title it -" How a 235 pound back routinely gets tackled by much smaller safeties with no assistance form their teammates ." Other big backs in the SEC 225 plus make DBs fear tackling them and even LBs in open space with some momentum - Jones they do not fear tackling that is for sure despite his 235 lb.

I think most of us have determined that you basically don't watch the games and/or Matt Jones stole your girlfriend.

I really think you're taking Taylor's lack of production and projecting it onto Jones. Jones breaks tackles and runs with force on every down, and almost always falls forward. If you aren't going to be objective about him, there is literally no conversation to have here.

He has been a bright spot. and Taylor does seem way less effective this year.

No I do watch the games and the replays. Do I need to get the offensive plays and count the number of times Jones goes down that easy and then show you Bama's and Georgia's big back etc at the same weight crushing safeties etc when one on one ?

Taylor also seems to be missing some blocks this year. Pass protection may be the real reason he's not out there.

No, I don't need you to get anything. You're a nutswinger for Taylor, we all get it.

Why do you guys even try...he's never going to give Jones credit for anything.
