And it's a *two week* sliver of the season. It's a hair early to go into panic mode over it.

How does "not sustaining drives" favor Jones? Wouldn't it be just the opposite? If you're having trouble moving the chains, it's even more imperative to give the ball to your best back early so that he can help the offense get in rhythm.
