James Jones thinks the Packers Could have Three 1,000 Yard Receivers... and He's Right!

James Jones was able to focus his efforts into his best season as a pro last year by, in part, talking to himself.  Well, it appears he's got some things he wants to say to the rest of us.  From NFL.com:

"I think a 100-catch receiver is gone out of our offense just because Aaron (Rodgers) spreads the ball around so much. If anybody had a shot to get 100 catches, I'd probably say Randall because he's in the slot and he'll probably get a lot more targets.  I can see me, Jordy and Randall getting about 80 catches a piece. I can see us all having over 1,000 yards."  -James Jones

That's right, Mr. Jones sees the departure of veterans Donald Driver and Greg Jennings as opportunities for Nelson, Cobb and himself.  He thinks there will be enough opportunities for all three to be productive.  What he's really saying is that defenses can pick their poison.

If this is the type of thinking that propelled James Jones to the season he had last year, then I hope it's contagious.  Replacing the production of Greg Jennings and the leadership of Donald Driver won't be easy, but the new and matured James Jones seems like a guy at least capable of making an effort.
