A lot of passes to Hopkins were uncontested, and sometimes Jones was spinning away, fearing a double move upfield. I don't know if he just doesn't trust his speed or Hopkins (properly, WRs on the Bengals) waited for Jones to flip his hips before breaking off his route. 13 receptions is a hell of a lot.
From the limited action I have seen with WJIII, I think he should be starting over Jones. He is longer, faster, and has shown he belongs.
Thoughts?
Paul Guenther put them in that situation to begin with. That was a terrible defensive scheme, and the smart penalty saved the TD.
A lot of passes were uncontested because Shawn Williams took out his own teammate's elbow and Adam was forced to play one-armed with no help against easily a top-10 WR who would probably be a top-5 WR if he ever had a semi-competent QB in his career.
Also where did you get the 13 receptions bit? Hopkins had 7 catches.
