The Future: Plan for Velus Jones
The Future: Plan for Velus Jones
Jones is expected to be a top performer in Luke Getsy's new offense. WR coach Tyke Tolbert explained that they are not wasting any time implementing him in any way they can.
«We've thrown him into the fire pretty quick, put him at two positions immediately,» Tolbert told reporters last week. «Get him to learn it now. Because we want him to learn the whole concept but, specifically, a couple of positions to get him going. The more he can do, the more, obviously, he'll have a chance to play.»
«Any situation is about opportunity,» Tolbert said. «There are a lot of good players that are out there who don't get as many opportunities as some others. And when you get the opportunity to do it, especially with the skill set he has and the talent he has, it'll show. So I think it's about the opportunities he has to display his skill set.»
Mooney may be taking the star receiver role for now and that doesn't bother anyone as the more weapons Fields has the better. Time will tell how this season works out for us, but at least we know they are putting in the work.
