The problem is that he appears to be average at best in run defense. I don't know if thst is because he is freelancing, or he just isn't good at it.
Buffalo has one of the best Ds this year. If you look at the stats of their DTs, they look atrocious. Their job is to occupy blockers and let the LBs make plays. Not glamorous, but very effective. I'm not sure if Jones is willing to sacrifice himself like that for the betterment of the run D if needed. |

But none of that matters until we get a good d coordinator and change the culture of the defense. Draft replacements. New England seems to do it year in year out. When they want the fat contract, trade. Only keep bonifide allpros. |
The situation is complicated by the fact that Veach has not earned anybody’s trust in the draft. Even if the Chiefs received fair compensation for Jones, does anybody believe Veach will maximize that compensation? I don’t.

**** each and every last mother ****er that has been a part of the defense for the last 2 1/2 years.
Draft guys that will be disciplined and do their ****ing job. |

I've been a bit rough on Chris Jones this season. However, after looking at the big picture, I think the Chiefs should give him a real opportunity to improve over the next two or three years. I think if Spags could have him for a couple years, Chris might become a real Pro-Bowl all-around DT.
The reason I think that has to do with how he handled his hold-out situation. He could've held out, but he reported to camp like a team player. That shows some part of him wants to be on the team and that he respects his teammates. We want guys like that on the team. Further, he's the best DT we have from a physicality and athletic standpoint. He just needs to be molded into something better against the run. And he's young; this is just his third year in the league. He still has a lot to learn and he hasn't reached his prime years yet. Even if he's a slow learner, he's going to be a lot better in just two years. |

The fastest path to a QB is straight at him and Jones has an undeniable gift there. Don't get so caught up in trying to find the perfect player that you miss the exceptional one. |

And I'm not saying, nor have I ever said, that Jones needs to turn himself into a best run defender on the team. I just think his overall game will be better if he at least plays his gap assignments correctly 90% of the time. And it'll help the team. So if he plays the run better, we win more games, or we should mathematically speaking. |

And for as much love as Aaron Donald gets, the Rams boasted a 5.1 YPC Rush defense last season, good enough for dead last in the league. But i'm sure the Rams are just kicking themselves for re-signing Donald. |
