Was it Denver's Oline being shitty? Was it the Chiefs just deciding to play harder? Was it better scheme play because Jones wasn't ****ing it up? We'll see. |

Actually I agree with PnD19 and D-9; there's not enough evidence to say definitively that the run defense is better without Jones. It was only one game, against what appeared to be one of the worst OLs in the NFL. And it was obvious that our defense, particularly our front-7 came out and played at a completely different level of intensity than they have all season.
But saying that our run defense is now a solid unit after just one game isn't clear and obvious. We need to see them play against some better OLs. The games against the Packers and the Vikings will be much more telling, IMO. If he comes back sometime in the next two weeks, particularly against either the Vikings or the Packers, and the run D is dramatically better or worse will be a lot more telling about his effect. And that's assuming the front-7 plays similarly to how they played Thursday night. And it's a fact that Jones is the most capable and athletic of our DTs. At the end of the day, we really need him to be playing well for us going forward. |

This is my hope. Maybe the system is coming together and team leadership is bringing a different attitude. Jones comes back and takes it up another notch.

There was a similar conversation a couple of years ago when Peters had his one game suspension. Peters freelanced a bunch and left his teammates hanging out to dry. Peters got his one game suspension. Defense had it's best performance of the season that day.
Just sayin' Jones did say before the season he wasn't sure about this new defense. Paraphrasing of course. |

Veach should "Dee Ford" the whole Jones contract situation. Franchise tag him and trade him for a 2nd rounder. Get an IML at the draft with that pick.

I love Chris Jones but I recently wondered what Bill Bellicheat would do with Jones. He’s be sidelined for ****ing up run plays until they needed him to rush the passer, and probably tagged and traded.

I always hate the theory that a coach saves his best stuff for the end of the season. But I still really wonder if that was the case here. Our D was uncharacteristically vanilla to start the season.

This stupid ass Jones goes rogue is just some over blown saying that was initially used as an excuse by people to defend Frank Clark. "Chris Jones is only rushing the passer so well because he goes rogue and Frank Clark holds his edge", Its ****ing reeruned.

No it actually started before that. CP really does hate Jones. It’s weird as ****.

Wasn't Chris Jones out for the previous 1.5 games when they gave up 16,000 rushing yards to Indianapolis and Houston?
The defense was better because they played the horrendous Broncos instead of Indy or Houston. |

But, since you bring it up, perhaps your whole "Chris Jones freelances too much and maybe the D is better without him" thing is kind of similar to the Pats and Jamie Collins. When they had him, he was an occasionally great player who freelanced once too often and got sent packing to (at the time) football Siberia (Cleveland). He figured it out and started to become more disciplined and has become a better player this second time around with the Pats. |
