You gotta' love the confidence, but it is true and we are certainly going to need him to be that player against the Rivers and Gates.
“I’m playing like the best safety in the league, actually,” Jones told the Miami Herald on Thursday. “Numbers don’t lie. If you compare my numbers to the other safeties in the league, with what I’ve done, it stacks up with the best of them.”
It’s tough to argue with the Dolphins. In three October games, Jones has totaled a team-high 24 tackles (including 22 solo), picked off a pass (which he returned 50 yards) and recorded one sack.
And, most importantly, the defense has allowed just 18 points per game since Jones’ return — down nearly a touchdown from the four games he missed.
“I think Reshad is playing as good as he’s played since we’ve been here,” Coyle said Thursday. “He’s tackling extremely well. His presence on the field and coverage is really helping the back end. I think we just have to get some production in terms of some of the deep throws down the field, which I believe we are going to get. He hasn’t had that many opportunities, but I envision he’s going to continue to make some big plays for us.”
Unlucky 13subscriberYeah, he's been lights out since he came back. He's third on the team in solo tackles for the season! We're going to need him back there. He's an impact player when the coaches let him play his way. Do you guys think that he's lined up on Gates the most this week, or the linebackers?

It's not how I would handle myself, but he's been great since he came back. If it motivates him, then its good for the team as long as he doesn't veer from pumping himself up to putting down the opposition.

In school, it took awhile every new school year for my teachers to understand that if I'm doodling on paper then I'm paying attention. If I'm looking up at them, then I'm not paying attention.
So, against conventional wisdom, they stopped trying to get me to pay attention the traditional way and let me be because it worked for me.
Moral of the story is, if what he's doing works for him but is different than what works for you.......then be thankful he's doing something that works.

Ya' see in the REAL world, If this happened to most of us working folk. We would be out of a job and worried about feeding our family.
BUT, if given a second chance we would look at it as a new beginning with renewed vigor. You know, like a second chance.
Most would work exceptionally harder to try and keep their your job, right? LOL, just putting it out there....
So anyway, he's looked good since he came back. Hope he continues to do so.
Rocky RaccoonmoderatorHe looks like 2012 Reshad Jones and it's fun to watch. He's not wrong. I hope he can keep it up.

You're right of course. In the real world, IF you're given a second chance, then you either wise up or you're done. Maybe even unemployable. The NFL is far from the real world though.

Instant impact.
If he keeps this up the rest of the year, he was the catalyst this defense needed to go from very good to elite.
Maybe. While I like the confidence I'd trade him for Weddle, Chancellor, or Thomas in a heartbeat. His presence is an upgrade though over his replacements.

KeyFinforum_veteranWhile I appreciate his contributions, I can't help wonder about anyone who would make that kind of comment for self-praise. That reminds me of the Brandon Marshall diva stuff we had to deal with a few years ago. Next thing you know, he's going to be demanding a max contract and nudie pictures of Tannehill's wife.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

In my real world i would never get busted because they don't drug test.

He takes his time but he gets it done!
Really and now Dion Sims has Toe problems..we need to put an extra lineman in to take Sims place so it does not effect our run game...can any of them catch? Dion Jordan would be an option possibly but does he know or could he learn the offense?
Reshad is playing some great ball..I am hoping he keeps it up..I was very happy that we drafted him out of Georgia and it is great to see him playing up to his potential.

never existed. A large amount of athletes in every sport talks trash during/after/before play.
thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.
