Jimmy Ralph

[Argo57]

Hey - if some here are good with Jimmy Ralph playing close to full-time reps at a key slotback position in the CFL and want to say it's OK that he almost is never targeted cause he ain't "good enough" or needs to "develop" or is just ok for running clearing routes mostly - that's just swell/special and to each his own opinion.

IMO- a CFL slotback targeted once a game just does not cut it for a good offence. Maybe wayyyy over-due to see what maybe Brian Jones could do instead in that spot = a big target traditional CFL slotback - like the role Sinopoli has played for Ottawa ? - 3 straight thousand yard receiving seasons; Jones is bigger & faster than Sinopoli and was a star, productive slotback in CIS ball - IF Jones has even close to the receiving skills of Sinopoli - great hands, smart route runner, tough to bring down/very good at YAC yards = he could be a huge addition to the Argo offence. But maybe Ralph has a great game coming up - with Ray and the offensive brain-trust throwing the ball to him 2 or 3 times ?

Count me in on wanting to see what Jones can do, don't understand the Argos not giving him a decent chance to sink or swim as a pro.

With Coombs, Cross and Ralph being Nationals who got playing time at WR/SB, I wouldn't be surprised if Jones goes elsewhere as a free agent since his lack of any receptions in his second year with the Argos tells him his future chances in Toronto are not great. I also thought he had some promise last year but sometimes it doesn't work out on one team: for example, Chad Owens on the Als. (Please do not reply that Jones is not Owens.)
