allknowing Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 its bad enough he got pushed back all night but the least you can expect is a center that can SNAP THE BALL. im not even talking about the fumble cause **** happens, but every other snap ryan had to catch the ball high, low, or off to the side screwing up the timing of every playthis guy needs to be gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkOffFalcohol Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Stone is hot garbage. He has been all through training camp and especially preseason. No he will not get better. He got man handled all day and hurt this team beyond repair. Temove him from this roster...PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonezy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I think Stone is more than serviceable as a backup. Let's keep things in perspective here, with how late this line was put together the starters barely got time to practice together, so I can imagine the backups. Even with a backup, we rushed for over 150 yds and we were hitting receivers comfortably. We lost because of turnovers and miscues in the red zone.Now I'm definitely not a Stone fan, but he held sufficiently for a backup IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Not to defend Stone, but on the butt-fumble he thought Ryan was under center on that play. Stone obviously didnt know the play, or recognize that there was not 2 hands between his legs during the snap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest facelessman07 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 C'mon man. Saw him at Krispy Kreme. We had a great chat before I had to call in the crane to pick him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Stone had the game I was terrified that Person was going to have the first 4 weeks. Stone blocked okay, I blame the preparation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper72 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I still don't understand how both of our lines looked overpowered last night. What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Cutting Stone because he botched one fumble is the absolute wrong thing to do and is nothing more than an emotional reaction. Do ya'll really think cutting Stone for botching a snap will stop a player form botching a snap again? All it will cause is players starting to play tight and afraid to make mistake. The snaps need to be cleaned up no doubt but I do not see how cutting Stone will stop that from happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJoe Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Saying Stone has played OK or only had one bad snap is simply reedonkolulesxness X 100!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 No he couldn't even block ok. Ever since Person got hurt we haven't been able to run up the middle. We were running up the gut fantastically with Person. Also Stone's pass blocking hurt us too. Chester looked worse next to Stone. Chester was awful, and I didn't by any means think Stone was good. There were so many players playing so bad, I can't place any blame but on the coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Stones new name is Butt fumble....There's a thing on NFL.com called Butt Fumble 2.0....Embarassing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker42 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I shall hereforth refer to James Stone as "Gangnam Style". Go watch the video of the botched snap again. It looks like he's trying to snap the ball while doing the Gangnam Style dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 1. He actually botched several snaps last night. He snapped over Ryan's head a few times.2. His blocking sucked too. He's just not good or even serviceable, period. We are a worse team with him out there.Stone wasnt the only one on tbe o-line that played ***** last night... you guys always try to put more blame on the players you dont like. If you want to cut Stone for playing bad then you also must want to cut about 10 other players too. Stop acting like one player is the blame for everything. A whole lot of stuff went wrong.

DonDaLuvMaker Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I still don't understand how both of our lines looked overpowered last night.

Leggggggo Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Stone doesn't belong on the roster.If Person can't go vs TEN then prep Gino to start. That's what he was brought here for right? Gino is a vet and I'm sure he at least knows how to snap the ball. Or another crazy idea... Matthews actually knows how to play center. Until Person gets back put Matthews at center and Long at LT. Crazy idea I know but it could work. That said just plugging Gino in is the preferred option as Matthews has been playing well at LT. So in an offensive line that has been playing lights out for being put together between the preseason and first game, you want to then move a up and coming star at LT to center, and put a back up tackle in at starting LT? So you want both positions to be played at substandard levels? That makes no sense at all.Stone is not a starter. He didn't play like a starter. He doesn't get paid like a starter. He's a back up and played like a back up. Not every person on the 53 is going to be starter quality, esp on the Oline, there just aren't enough capable bodies in the league nor enough money under the cap to have 53 starters on a team.

insight Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I have heard so many excuses, it's Roddy's fault he shouldn't have opened he mouth, it's Stone's fault he was terrible, Worrilow is garbage blah blah blah, The run game was our bread and butter with the hottest running back in the NFL and we decided to rely of the passing game.Poor game plan from Shan and poor execution from Ryan. We became so predictable it was ridiculous. They would load the box we would try to take advantage of singlel coverage with deep routes which had no time to develop. If we would have stayed with the run which was working even when they loaded the box things would have eventually opened up.

Mega Man Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Stone was pi$$ poor, but Chester may have been worse! He was getting his fudge packed all night. Every replay where there was a lot of pressure on Ryan he was either getting drove back or pretty much whiffing.

The snaps need to be cleaned up no doubt but I do not see how cutting Stone will stop that from happening again.ONE? did you actually watch the game last week and last night? every other snap Matt had to reach up, down or sideways, or lunge or jump just to GET the ball. This was way more than just the ONE snap he snapped into his own cods, he's been pathetic in blocking AND snapping, we have a game and a half worth of film to show that.he sucked at guard when they tried him there, and that obviously made him forget how to snap the ball now that he's back at center.I would have been ok with it if they'd cut him at halftime. Now that I've said all that, you can't blame the play last week or last night on him, he didn't cause the coleman fumble or make matt hit dimarco's shoulder turning and fumble. I certainly do blame the drop off in pass protection and running up the middle on his poor blocking though. Last year, he had Aso and Blaylock beside him to help cover his weaknesses, he doesn't have that luxury this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
