The only thing he doesn't really give you is turnovers. But he still has the 1st Rd talent to hold his own. I think it's foolish to close the door on him even if his #s have gone up some. Especially going into a year when your gonna have a lot of new faces in the secondary and Awuzie coming back from injury. I don't really understand people getting so upset about the trash talk either. I was a little put off after the playoff buffalo game but those were special circumstances. 

I also agree that I would 100% prefer Apple over Jones even if the #s are higher and I'm sure they would be.

I would take Apple over Jones as well, but it is fairly close. The big question is, would you take Apple over Jones if it meant, say, we couldn't get a Wilson extension done or did not have the money to sign a TE/IOL if one comes available. 

And though that transaction sounded pretty final, remember we turned down Wilcox's option earlier this year as well. We may be a no at one number, a maybe at a lower number, and a yes still lower. But I woukd think something would have to happen to bring one back. 

If Adomitis got hurt, I bet Harris' phone rings pronto.
