Seahawks RB Jones Out To Beat An Aging Defense

Posted Oct 15, 2008 by Roy Cummings

Updated Oct 15, 2008 at 06:11 PM

TAMPA - Seahawks RB Julius Jones has a lot of respect for what the Bucs defense is doing this year, but he sees a flaw that he believes can be exploited.

“They’re smart players and what you have to do with those guys is kind of beat them athletically,’’ Jones said. “I know a couple guys are up there in age and that’s how we’re going to try to get around those guys - beat them athletically.’’

Isn’t that another way of calling the Bucs defense old? Sure seems like it. Wonder if DeAngelo Williams thinks the Bucs are old. Kinda doubt it.

Williams was having a pretty nice season until he ran up against the Bucs last week. Then he just became the latest in a long line of running backs to fail to gain 100 yards or score a touchdown against Tampa Bay.

If Jones can break the 100-yard barrier against the Bucs he’ll be the first back this year to do that. No back has scored a touchdown against the Bucs either. That will never get old.

I LOVE IT!! I was thinking motivation would be a problem for the Bucs, considering Seattle is 1-4.  Just pin that up in the locker room and the defense will be ready to play.

Julius Jones can say all its want too. But remember Julius Jones thinks its the same when he played for the cowboys. Well Mr. Jones, He didn’t see the statis of last week gave vs Carolina. And the seahawks are wounded at QB and other position. I believe that Qb Jeff Garcia will explore the defected Seahawks Defense. What are the 2 records! Seattle 1 and 4, and Tampa 4&2. And Next week Tampa Tackle another RB, and the following week Tampa travels to KC. GO Bucs.

Note to Julius Jones:  Uhhh Dude! You were so athletic, that the Cowboys got rid of you and kept Marion Barber. K? Oh and one more thing: you just gave the Bucs some Locker Room material. Good Luck
Sunday. You’ll be sucking wind by the 2nd quarter.

Yea right, that was a brilliant comment. We have three old farts (football-wise) of the 16 guys that play all the time on defense. Everyone else is young and very athletic. Let’s see how he feels in that dark green uniform in the third quarter at Ray J. Go Bucs!

well I know which quote will be in every defensive players locker room before I end this post….Go Bucs

read his entire statement. he also said they (the Bucs defence) were smart players and that they (the Seahawks) would TRY to beat them athletically not that they would but that they would TRY. that basically says the bucs Defence is a great defence and they MAY have one flaw and the Seahawks will TRY to exploit it.

that statement is NOT bulliten board material.

Por (Brandon Short) on October 15, 2008 (Suggest removal)

No, Clayton, Jones’s statement is not bulletin board material, but your statement is material I can take into my classroom to teach my kids about editing.  Ouch!

On a realistic note, what is Jones supposed to say?  They’re really good, we have no QB and no WR’s… we’re going to get killed.

To Julius Jones:
Let me intorduce you to Mr. Phillips & Mr. Jackson which are going to beat you up like a redheaded stepchild!!! You’ve just lit up a match in a kerosene swimming pool. I will be in the stands watching you suck wind.
Have a nice day!!!!!

ok, i have to clear this up right now. it is spelled DEFENSE, not defence. every post there is at least one person who incorrectly spells one of the most used words in the nfl. defense is played in american football, defence is european football. it is spelled differently here than it is across the pond. i guess all the signs in the crowd that have a D followed by a fence are misleading. p.s. its ruuuuuuuuude to incorrectly spell Ruud. lol. your welcome for the grammar lessons.

Por (tatmanfish) on October 16, 2008 (Suggest removal)

also,calling a team or player old implies that they are no longer fast enough to make the plays they once did. they are going to try and beat this D by running around them? this further implies that these guy have lost a step. how is that not bulletin board material? i hope jones gets smacked in the mouth by #55 or gets ran down by #20, that way he knows how much they havent lost.

phhhhht…whatever, Julius…
keep living in your brother’s shadow and worry about your crappy team and retarded quarterback. why don’t you go buy your wideouts some ‘get well soon’ cards instead of talking smack….mr. brooks will still throw you on his lap and give you a spanking…and we can just hope that barber can stay on his feet…

To Tatmanfish;  You are correct is scolding the person for misspelling DEFENSE, but you show your ignorance by not using a capitol “I” when referring to yourself!  People that are ignorant should not tell others that they are ignorant!!!!!  Go and get yourself a GED !!!!!!!!!!!

ay ah tatmanfish lol WOW! what a name anyhow why are you wasting your time on grammar lessons get a life. please shut down your computer back away from it and go play outside or at least go do something worth while DON’T BE A LOSER

OK, I’ll pile on tatmanfish too.

It’s “you’re welcome” not “your welcome”

And too keep this on topic, I hope old man 55 takes him down in the back field a few times.

This moron actually thinks our defense isnt athletic and to say our defense is up in age is crazy. Brooks Rhonde and Carter are the only older defenders.Greg White plays more DE than Carter. Brooks and Barbers roles have lessened. Everyone else on our defense are real Young aka T. Jack, Gaines, Greg White, Jovan, Ruud, Talib, Sabby or in their prime,Hovan, Cato, Phillips and Allen. Jones is crazy if he thinks he can beat us Athletically. just ask Carolina how athletic we are. We have the most athletic defense in the league, with DEs that return INTs for TDs and doing backflips and DTs doing Cartwheels and you never see teams beating us around the corner. Julius have fun with 50 yds on 20 carries against us and getting blown out.
