Since these stats started in 1970 for corners that played at least 70 games, Jones only has two interceptions. Two folks! Next on the list has 5 in that span. He hasn’t had an int in two years as well. Mind boggling.

Jeff Heath is our playmaker in the secondary and this forum hates him lol.
We absolutely know that defensive scheme is a huge reason why INT totals are low. No CBs get picks when they a) play press-man or b) are in a scheme where the opposing QB knows where everyone is going to be.
They've sacrificed turnovers for preventing the big play. A conservative staple under JG.This has been going on for so long too. Before Byron.
They don't value it b/c it's not a valuable position.LOL, 8 ints in 7 years and that's our "playmaker" ! He's a special teamer being forced to start on a team that does not value the position for some unknown reason..
and that is why this defense is hot garbage, sad state of affairs when he is remotely considered a playmakerJeff Heath is our playmaker in the secondary and this forum hates him lol.

That's all Marinelli. That bend but don't break crap.They've sacrificed turnovers for preventing the big play. A conservative staple under JG.
Dude this is literally his most effective scheme lol. He’s a bump and run corner who excels in press man coverage. All we ask him to do is be physical and run with a guy, BJ is a great athlete so he can do that in his sleep.I can only imagine how much more effective Jones would be in a different scheme.
The Cowboys defense (since Jones was drafted) is designed to not give up the big play. The CBs have also not received a lot of help from the safety position in some time.
I understand Jones and his lack of turnovers is low on the priority list, but I would love to see him under a different scheme (other than the Kiffin/Marinelli's) and see how he performs. He may not get the chance. Oh well, we'll see.
And none of us know is it the result of the defensive scheme, coaching or him not aggressive enough to get an int. He is still rated by the NFL as a top five cornerback so pretty obvious that we fans do not know everything. Dallas would be smart to sign Dak and Amari before March 10th and franchise Jones then if some team is willing to part with 2 1st round pick, you take it.
Out of curiosity, did you support the Zeke contract?I don’t care what they get paid, I’m a fan. But if it cost me Amari or a stud DT/Safety FA no thanks. I want to win and getting TO’s helps that.

Wait, you are a member of the Jeff Heath club?
No, it's Jason Garrett.That's all Marinelli. That bend but don't break crap.
Of course I wanted our best player signed. He’s what makes this whole thing go.
No, it's Jason Garrett.

From 2011-2014, Sean Lee and Bruce Carter combined for 14 INTs. INTs from DBs have been completely foreign under Garrett, over the course of 3 different coordinators. He is terrified of giving up a big play from the offense, so he sacrifices the big play for the defense. As more and more of JG's guys have come in the, the number has consistently dropped.
This list is also illustrative of how much variance of in turnovers there is from year-to-year. They could roll out the same group and scheme next year and double their INT total.
