M. Jones-Drew called himself the second-highest paid "decoy" in the league, behind New Orleans running back Reggie Bush. (1 Viewer)

I wonder if Bush will respond to such a public insult.

That decoy is the 5th ranked fantasy player in my league!!!! Don't say anything stupid MJD!!!!!

 

[Deuuuuce]

MJD is a good player but strikes me as a Me first kind of guy. If you dont like the way your team is playing, step up and be a leader. Do something about it, dont cry and start bringing negative attention to the team.

I wonder if the jags would trade him for bush?

I don't mind Reggie being called a decoy. To be a successful decoy, defenses have to somewhat fear what you might do should you get the ball. If Reggie's decoy ability on the field opens the door for an extra second for Drew to find an open WR, or for Pierre or Bell to gain more yards, then it's worth it. Kind of like a good offensive linemen... not often heralded, but what they do is give their QB more time, and their RBs more room. They make good money too, but if it leads to points and wins, it's money well spent.

Dude needs to let it go and play football.

I personally, cant stand him.

I wonder if Bush will respond to such a public insult.

If Bush is mentally mature, he'll keep his mouth shut, like Jones-Drew should have done. Also, it doesn't seem Bush has the self-confidence issues Jones-Drew seems to have.

Personally how can you blame him for acting like that after that kind of blow-out. The guy should be getting more carries especially in a supposedly run first offense like Jax.

He's a man, he should act like one.

Why does his team getting blown out allow him to rip players on other teams? that's just a strange comment. If he wants to rip people, rip your team.....you know the guys that are failing to help you win.

It has a lot to do with being drafted behind Reggie. Go see the MJD interveiw last Sunday explaining the meaning of his jersey number.

Sour grapes from a guy on a losing team who was not drafted where he thought he should be.

Classic "little man" syndrome

Reggie wasnt the only RB who he was drafted behind, Deangelo Williams, Addai, Mauroney & Lendale White were all drafted before him. All players use whatever they can as a chip to motivate them. And the chip he has is warranted, IMO. His numbers in college were awesome, he slipped in the draft because of his height, and Im sure alot of teams would love to have him.

Was that press conference right after the game? If so, MJD was still smarting, and yea, he's going to be emotional. When you're emotional, you strike out at everything you think is wrong.

Coaches should never allow players to have press conferences the same day they had a loss. It's a soap opera waiting to happen.

I wonder if they would trade him for P.T

 

[Galbreath34]

All this time I thought Del Rio was the decoy.

 

[UpHere]

MJD is a better back by a mile.

no... mjd is a different back by a mile

 

[pork pork pork]

Immature statement by MJD.

I think MJD just did us Saints fans a huge favor. Reggie may not need any extra motivation, but now he has it.

My guess is Reggie comes out on fire Sunday thinking about being called out as a "decoy".
