Proof That You Don\'t Need A Brain - Part II

The anonymous quotes from NFL Scouts, coaches and personnel people over at Pro Football Weekly are always worth their weight in gold, if only to remind me that I too could one day work for an NFL team. No, really, how hard could it be when they employ people who will say this:

Look at James Jones. He’s a ‘Z’ (receiver) in that West Coast system. A lot of times, he’s catching underneath the coverage. (Opponents) are covering (Donald) Driver and (Greg) Jennings and (Jones) comes slithering underneath and has a lot of room to work with. You put Jones in a system where he has to beat coverages, and I’m not sure he can do it. But for what he is being asked to do, he is playing good.”

Now, on the first part, he's absolutely correct. They are running him underneath on a lot of clear-out stuff. Fair enough. But I seem to recall him toasting Mr. Champ "Best Corner In the NFL" Bailey for a 70-something yard touchdown on national television. I think he beat some pretty damn good coverage right there Mr. Scout/Coach/Personnel Man.
