Le Tigre Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Dude just seems to get open, and nobody is going to out-muscle him for the ball. I'm good with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think that what 1181 means is that Jones will become a part of the platoon at the #2 position with Sanu, depending on down, distance, situation, etc. But I really liked what I have seen from Sanu so I hope they continue to use him more often. The knock I keep seeing on him here is that he doesn't get great separation, but dude is physical as hell so it likely doesn't always matter. I think Sanu could be our new Housh. TJ was never a speedster either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticx682000 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I hope like hell he is our number 2, but i have seen this many times as a bengals fan, would just like to see him do it a few game in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Me too but it's incumbent upon the coaches to actually PLAY him two games in a row. We have seen too many examples of young talent being kept on the sidelines, perhaps because they don't fit the practice mold the Bengals coaches look for, only to be studly in games. The Bengals under Marvin seem to do a great job of identifying talent but not necessarily finding ways for that talent to be successful, whether it's getting into the games at all (Dunlap, Simpson, Sanu, Jones) or utilizing them in a way that plays to their strengths (Gresham, Scott). It's a little mystifying to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden said Jones was going to be the #2 in the Pittsburgh game before he got hurt, so it stands to reason that when he comes back they are going to be competing with each other for the spot.

mongo Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 As great as it is to see Sanu just ripping balls out of the air, it seemed Jones was getting separation and catching balls. If Sanu can get away from defenders a bit, he's the #2. If he can't, I think the job is still open for Jones... Separation means YAC, and it means the QB doesn't have to thread the needle on every target. I also think Jones is more of a deep threat, and that Sanu isn't. In a perfect world, I think Green and Jones rock the outside, and Hawkins and Sanu trade off in the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its 3rd and 3 and I need a tough 3 yards either running or a quick pass, I'm going Sanu. If its a down where I'm looking to go downfield, I'm going Jones. And I don't see a battle as a bad thing. They're both hungry rookies who want playing time and are also good friends. A little competition in practice is a healthy thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishBengal Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I think Jones and Sanu are better than Tate and Binns. Tate and Binns may have equal or better measurables than Jones and Sanu. But Jones and Sanu have already shown they are better better football players than those two imo. An ideal starting lineup would be Jones and Green on the outside an Sanu in the slot. And have Hawkins on screens and reverses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrlnutz Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sanu's skill set leads me to believe he'll have the 2nd highest percentage of snaps played for WRs going forward. They won't all be at the #2 spot, but I think he brings more to the table than Jones, in terms of versatility, who I see mostly as a deep threat.
