salparadise 1 Posted August 6, 2010 Kevin Walter Fighting Off Jacoby Jones For WR#2 There's a battle underway for the Texans' No. 2 wide receiver spot between Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones. Walter, who was re-signed as an unrestricted free agent this offseason, is the incumbent starter. Jones, a talented playmaker entering his fourth season out of Lane College, is nipping at his heels. "Kevin and Jacoby are going head to head," Kubiak said. "That's the bottom line. Kevin's the starter; he's earned that right. We've got a heck of a player (Jones) pushing to be a starter in this league. We're putting them right down the middle. It's very competitive." Source: Nick Scurfield, houstontexans.com It sounds like Kubiak is torn between starting the cagey vet Walter vs. the younger and more explosive playmaker in Jones. Right now it is too early to tell, but our money is on Jones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROYALWITCHEESE 0 Posted August 6, 2010 I hope it's Jones. I snagged him off the waiver wire in my Dynasty in week 13 last year anticipating this battle. Now comes the pay-off baby! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yostevo 0 Posted August 7, 2010 I think Walter, when healthy, is a fine #2. Jones coud be special though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
