[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 840364"] It's funny sometimes how people tend think about some of this stuff. Consider a Demovsky blog note from last night: [URL]https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/_/name/gb/green-bay-packers[/URL] "Maybe Ty Summers already had his spot secured, but it didn't hurt that he returned an interception 74 yards for a touchdown. OLB Markus Jones initiated the play but [sic] a hit on the QB that sent the all [sic] fluttering into Summers' hands." Not to pick on Demovsky, because this kinda falls into the category of "conventional wisdom". While the play didn't hurt Summers chances of making the team, I wouldn't buy the implication that it might have helped. If he dropped the ball, that might have hurt. But catching a ball falling in your lap and running to wide open spaces is not exactly making a play. It was more like not not making a play, if you haven't gotten my drift by now. He showed good speed but that was already known. Of course his lame Lambeau Leap raises questions about his vertical jump. Just kidding. It should have been a checkmark in Jones' plus column if anything. He made the play, not Summers. The Packer announcers were gushing about Summers' play and didn't mention Jones until after the commercial break. Really? A Tony Romo would not have let that go by until afterthoughts. This is not a critique of Summers; there is nothing to critique on that play other than to say he doesn't have stone hands. I think he makes the roster as Martinez backup even if they sign a Burks backstop. This is a critique of how some professionals commentators bend perceptions. The takeaway is the play belongs to Jones no matter what might be suggested or hinted to the contrary. (As an aside, if anybody needed an example of why QB hits should be given more value than a mere hurry or why you can't just look at sacks, this would be an example). While my observations of Jones vs. Ramsey are admittedly casual, I give the nod to Ramsey who appears to me to be a more polished and assignment-sure player. But the Jones play makes the margin that much closer. That's the note Demovsky missed. [/QUOTE]
