YES!!! Jones is terrible! I didn't see yesterdays game, but I remember
the Green Bay - he got burned , above all twice in THE final drive...
Corner is definitely THE week spot of the BEngals.

But - hey, Klingler making his NFL debut in HOUSTON (!!!)- that would actually
be a good move! (If he plays well - I know, it's too early...)
I think they might even cheer him - it's his home field from the Cougar-days.
