[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 664344"] First of all, you worry too much. Of the all contingencies you have to plan for, going 6 deep into the receiver rotation should not be high on the list. If that happens, you might lose some football games as last season, but it is the kind of calculated risk that teams must make. It's more likely you'll have to go 2 deep at quarterback which we know will cost games. If you're concerned that a guy like Jones would be necessary under an injury scenario, you should be more worried that the Packers have not gone in for a vet backup as many teams do. So what do you do with Jones in training camp? Play him with the second team, taking those reps against better completion from a guy now demoted to the camp body group? How about preseason? Who gets those second team snaps? Don't you want to give developmental players the opportunity to, well, develop. There's not substitute for game play. The other alternative is you bring Jones to camp and stick him with the third stingers/camp bodies, saying in essence, just hang around in case you're needed, but if we don't lose 2 guys for the season by week 1 we'll put you on the roster? I don't think that's going to work, for a variety of reason. [/QUOTE]
