I feel like we don't need him that bad vs. Titans except for depth. He's not great against the run and especially minding his gap. Opening up those big holes on HB dives are their bread and butter.

Of course once we get a lead and Tanny has to throw - then it would be nice to have him.

But if it's a chance of re-aggravating or saving for the SB I vote the latter.

Mike Mayock is somewhere in Oakland stroking it to the thought of Chris Jones

Specifically Chris Jones junk which flopped out at the combine and sparked Mayocks love interest

I hate to say it but I just think it’s going to be really tough for Jones to play Sunday if he couldn’t push off of it just this past Sunday... I hope I’m wrong here but part of me thinks it’s best for us to just expect him to be out.

First practice report is tomorrow?

This could work... Tom Jones singing "What's new Pussycat" could annoy and confuse the offensive line of the Tits so our linebackers can make plays...

No idea but saw an advertisement for the conference championship press conferences taking place tomorrow.

we don't need him

this team couldn't stop our offense in Tennessee, they damn sure won't stop it in arrowhead

it doesn't matter what Henry does in this game, Mahomes will burn him right down

only Aaron Rodgers can stop this team

James Palmer said that he talked to Jones and Jones says he expects to play Sunday

That’s great, I’ll just believe it when I see it...

I don’t see how he could have any idea if he ‘couldn’t push off’ just two days ago...

Link or GTFO.

Or something like that.

It’s on this page: http://www.nfl.com/videos/kansas-city-chiefs

Turns out he told Palmer that after the game Sunday, so it seems more like hope on Jones’ end than anything. Fingers crossed.

Aaron’s gay porn stache doesn’t want it enough

What the **** do you think he'd say, "my calf's pretty sore and I can't push off so I might be back if we get to the SB"

I've never even heard of calf injuries until the last 2 weeks.

Seem he will be ready he was jumping up and down when Chiefs scored.

That makes me feel better... certainly not something that Mark Ingram would have been doing a couple days after his injury.

What's the verdict on Jones vs the run? He seemed to be a liability most of his career vs the run.

I think he’s a good run player at this point. He’s been splitting doubles pretty frequently. He can be moved when a good double is put on him but overall, good I’d say.

And he’d be nice to have this week cause he could knife through the line and cause Henry to have to move more laterally, which is obviously not what he’s looking to do.

Is this still the locker room basketball injury??

I think the knock on Jones against the run has been based more out of scheme discipline than physicality or an ability to tackle. In other words, he gets lazy and take shortcuts to the least path of resistance instead of continuing to work to fill his gap assignment and do his job, so that others can make plays.

I had a calf get injured once, it never did recover, so I had to turn it into veal.

He better not have a Hagland's Calf.

Jokes aside, calf injuries are precursors to a potential Achilles tear. As pissed off as this development has made me, it would be terrible if Jones rushed back to action only to have his Achilles snap because he wasn’t rehabbed properly.

When you have a calf injury its best to put it down and make veal out of it.

Show me some plays where he was lazy or stop talking out of your ass. Chris Jones is double teamed more than most every other d lineman in the league. The "he's a liability against the run" is a bunch of bullshit that a few reeruns on here spew because they don't want to resign him and he's so good at rushing the passer they had to make something up. ****ing idiots

Yeah, no. You can shelf your tough guy routine.

Guys like Nick Jacobs and Seth Keysor have broken down a ton of film over the past couple of seasons that highlight both good and bad plays by all phases of this Chiefs team. There is evidence of Jones cheating his assignment to try to make a big splash play with gap penetration, when he should be gap squeezing to force ball carriers to his help but instead he creates vertical seams for running backs to cut back through. No player is perfect, but I watch film and have coached long enough to tell you that Brendan Daly was the best thing to happen to Chris Jones, in getting him to buy in and be a better “team” player on the D line.

Heh. I laughed harder than I should have.

Chris Jones is replaceable. I would not pay him. He's a great player, but dollars spent would be more valuable going elsewhere. At this point, coverage is money ball. Pay some safeties & hybrid LBs, great CBs and call it a day.

The guy is our best defensive player for several years, but the first time he picks up an injury a bunch of CPers who look like the nutri-system ‘before’ pictures decide that he’s just a wimp

Hmmm... you could argue that all of the remaining teams are very stout at the LOS defensively. And they all have solid or better secondaries too...

You need it all to some degree to make it this far. Unless you have an all time elite offense like KC posted last year.

According to our former rehab man, this is not true:

This is exactly what I was thinking.

If he cant push off or hold his ground, then he's a liability. He should do what is best for the team.

A) Jones is a great player.
B)We need all hands on deck, especially on the defensive line rotation.
C)Henry is a ****ing load.
D)Ain't no next week if we don't take care of business.
E)If Jones wants to get paid, he's gonna have to show up.

LOL.

Sounds like they aren't expecting him to practice much this week. I'm gonna guess that he doesn't play.

https://www.arrowheadpride.com/platf...afc-title-game

He better rape the world in the Superbowl if he want to play here next year.

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Nailed It !!

He probably won't. Calf injuries are a bugger boo PERIOD. He doesn't play this W/E and might be on a pitch count in the SB 'at best' and a good chance he doesn't even make it through the pitch count IMHO.:shrug:

That would be 5 weeks worth of rest. He would play in the SB.

If this injury is because of what's rumored he's done with the Chiefs.

Goodbye. He’s good, but a non factor when we need our horses the most.

If he does play I think the Tits run right at him and without being fully healthy he’s a liability...

Agreed. Reid knows the truth (whatever that is).

If he really is going to miss the AFC playoffs because he ****ed around playing basketball after practice, then tag and trade. Get as much as you can from some shit NFC team. Let them pay him.

It was already debatable whether or not we should pay him. An argument could be made for either.

How Reid/Veach handle this will tell us plenty.

I'll just leave this here:

ROFL.., Yeah.. that’s were I got the idea..

So it sure doesn’t sound like he’s playing based on the Carrington tweet.

I never expected him too. He couldn't push off last week. That's not a leap you generally make in a week.

I missed it. What’s the Twitter handle?

I mean it isn't like Derrick Henry is coming to town or anything.


:facepalm:

Chris Jones did NOT practice today.

He wouldn't even be useful on a pitch count on Sunday if we're running a different front. No time to practice it.

He really shouldn’t.

Good lord people

I already told you guys he isn't playing. Trust me on this.

He no good.

No, he good?

I thought this had already been put to rest and he was hurt in practice, did I miss something or are people still making shit up?

You don't let an interior pass rusher that consistently gets pressure go because of a freak accident playing Nerf basketball (debatable if it went down that way).

Pay him, draft a cover Linebacker and the Defense will be just fine under Spags.

Its possible its not made up and that the practice story is for optics and not having to deal with a huge ongoing distraction during the playoffs.

Anything is possible but that would mean this is a lie from Mellinger -

And not a single credible source has disputed it and literally NOBODY in national media is covering it.

Petro never said he was for sure hurt during bball and even he doesn't believe it happened in the game anymore

That tweet makes no sense. Is it a further injury risk or a play to a certain ability thing?

I say shoot him up with horse cocaine and put a helmet on him. We need to win. :D

The way they're talking I'll be shocked if he plays Sunday.

Yeah, he backed away from that yesterday and said he accepts that it happened in the next-to-last snap in practice. He also said that Nate Taylor has a different recollection -- he remembers the game continuing after Jones went down, while Petro thinks it never resumed.

Out of curiosity where can I find horse cocaine

0Those calf injuries can take some time to heal. Especially when you need that calf to push off 300 lb men.

Maybe if there’s risk of worse injury if he plays, maybe they shelve him to don’t hurt trade value?

Veech should have a good idea right now if he really wants to keep Jones or tag and trade. If he really wants to tag and trade him, and there’s risk of reinjury, then he’s done for year

Lol wut?

The Chiefs aren’t going to hold Chris Jones out of the SB because of “risk of reinjury”. The injury won’t even be a factor by the time the tag and trade could occur. Wtf?

**** that.

If they don’t win the Super Bowl, then what’s the point? As long as he can help then win, he needs to play.

Easily on of the dumbest takes I’ve seen on CP

LMAO

Damn calfs are tricky Ingraham wasnt the same in the playoffs. Say we win this weekend though he would have had about 3 weeks to recover since injuring it...

I’m not saying hold him out. If he can play, it’s helps his stock and the teams. But if he’s not 100%, you don’t think both parties involved will make a business decision? No different than Trevor Lawrence possibly sitting out next season

I don’t think this one is quite like Ingram. He couldn’t walk when his happened, it looked like he’d blown an Achilles.

Jones’ was called a ‘tweak’ — and he was jumping around on it just a couple days after it happened. Idk what Palmer means when he says that pain isn’t a problem, but yeah. I get this feeling that they’re planning on not having him this week. Sucks.

One you PS wizards needs to whip up a shot of Chris Jones in the Bacta tank from Empire...

Looks like everything worked out okay.
