The Matt Jones Thread

[Gator Fever]

LOL, dude you're so on Taylor's junk it's not even funny. Tell me something about Jones, but to pretend that Taylor would have done better is just stupid. Taylor didn't do better because he couldn't do better. Taylor did almost nothing tonight, because he couldn't. Taylor couldn't run it up the middle against UK tonight, Jones did, end of story!
Not only did Jones make things happen in tight space, he did it ALL NIGHT LONG!

No I just don't think Jones is that good based on observation.

We don't win tonight if we don't have Matt Jones fever. I think you need to give it up. Maybe avoid this conversation as much as you can dude

Give up what - I don't think he is a good instinctive runner. Maybe he will surprise me when we play the better defenses coming up and does good when we haven't Jumbo packaged them into submission.

We ran out of the shotgun all damn day for God's sakes!

I am talking about the 2012 FSU game

Yep when you can drive a truck through the hole he is deadly.

Kid rushed for 150 tonight. Sorry, but I didn't see all of those truck-sized holes on every carry. Glad to have him on that last OT possession. Agree...your agenda(s) are poorly disguised.

I was knocking Jones prior to UK too....but will gladly admit I was WRONG. Dude was beastly last night. Major props to him, he looked like a lesser version of Marshawn Lynch! While I love KT, I had no issue riding with Jones at all. Hats off to him!

 

[URGatorBait]

Yes I watch them and that is where it stuck out on the offensive plays only videos - he needs a clear hole usually or space to kick it outside while Taylor will make things happen in tight space. He did run over KY some late in the middle but he runs light for a big back. Georgias and Bamas RBs would have still been running on many of his runs against KY late.

Navet, if the word is not blocked by the system, then I have no reason to assume there is an issue with it. That said, I have no problem with you changing it to junk. :wink:

First off they stopped running Taylor because of his back after the spear. Secondly Fever if you can't admit that Jones ran fast and hard last night I don't know what to say. He made his own holes and pushed the pile time after time.Time to give the BS a rest man.

Matt had a very, very good game last night. I'm confident with Jones or Taylor running the ball, they're both terrific choices.

Agreed Cover2, I didn't see them either. He made most of them himself.

 

[itsgr82bag8r]

Good start against a totally outmatched team. Temper your excitement is what my wife told me.

Call everyone and brag.

 

[itsgr82bag8r]

Jones doesn't have good moves in tight fits but he did run over them some late but not that great for a 235 pounder. He runs light for his size.

 

[WobbleGator]

So has Fever admitted that he is wrong about Jones yet?

 

[G8RNGA]

I saw something from Jones Saturday night that I for one hadn't noticed as much - a leader. He has had the talent, but he cast a leadership shadow on that field to his teammates that won't be forgotten easily. The 1-2 combo of Jones and Taylor this year is going to be fun to watch.

I want to like him more, but I just don't like his running style. That being said, it's good to have him as a 1a or 1b.

I believe it's not good to have RB's that are all alike. You want them to have different attributes. Jones isn't the fastest guy on the field, but he has decent speed, and seemingly great power. He falls forward most of the time, and he's constantly moving the pile. He's not the most shifty of backs, but he can move a little when needed. Taylor has good speed, and is more shifty. He is powerful, but not as powerful as Jones. I think they complement each other nicely, and it's just plain stupid to shoot either one of them down.

 

[NavetG8r]

I'm going to say Matt Jones looks more like the real deal this year. He's running with power I hadn't seen in the past and showing more vision too. Can you imagine a Matt Jones with Kelvin's natural running ability? Oh my, that would be an unstoppable force.

dude you are fighting a losing battle and only making yourself look worse with each comment. Jones ran like a beast against UK. Right up the middle every time and they knew it was coming. They stacked the box and he just plowed right into them and ran over and through them. Taylor was dancing way too much against UK and Jones plowed right through them. Without Jones we don't win that game. End of story.
