Datone Jones believes he was good in 2013

I thought I did really good. I was able to really help out a lot on third down. In the pass department, I was second on our defensive line in sacks; and we have a big veteran group. So I thought I played pretty well this year and I got better every week.

I’m just saying it right now, next year I’ll be a whole other player. I won’t look the same, my body won’t look the same, I’ll be bigger, stronger, faster. That mental next step, I’ll have it. I’m excited. I know I’m going to have a good year next year. Nothing’s going to slow me down.

I was the smartest kid in my family. Did I mention that we grew up under powerlines and licked a lot of lead paint as kids? Oh, I recall us all being dropped on our heads a lot too. I'm the smartest of them, though!

Hope so.

He looked great in TC until the ankle.

Give me a player who is All Pro who says he is not happy with his performance and is going to work the whole off season getting better.

First reaction: Good grief.
Second reaction: You've got to be kidding.
Third reaction: Why can't he play for the Lions or the 49ers or someone else?

Not necessarily what I want to hear, but at the end of the day I don't care what the guy says; I care what the guy does. If he puts in the work, gets better and tears the league apart next season he can tell us he pisses rainbows and shits roses for all I care. If he doesn't, that's another story.

Seriously? What's the big deal?

A players says he thought he did good... weather it's true or not that's kind of part of their unofficial job... teams want them to stay positive and say good things weather they're true or not...

It's just like Rodgers saying the team overcame adversity for them to win the division... it's lie to make a puff piece for the media and sounds a lot better than the truth that the Lions completely and totally choked, while the Bears got to comfortable, the Vikings then beat the Bears... Vikings then embarrassed the Eagles and decided to embarrass the next team they met, which just happen to be the Bears, giving the Packers the chance at winning, and with the help of a random free play where the players on the field thought the ball was dead... Packers sneak in 7 points which happens to be the difference in who won and who lost.

Players setting the media up with nice fluff pieces is just part of the job.... even if the fluff pieces aren't the best thing out there it's good PR for the team and players which is what they want out there.

Don't think what he said is very far off. Gets bigger and stronger coming back next season at 295-300lbs and we may have something. He was pretty limited because of his ankle injury and his size. Not going to get many run down snaps when you are going against Raji, Pickett, Jolly, Daniels, Wilson and Boyd who all have that size on him.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I don't get what the big deal is...

Is he not allowed to be pleased with how he played as a rookie in the NFL? Everyone always gets their panties in a bunch whenever a player doesn't use the cliche responses to answer reporters' questions.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
