Maybe the Jones, got these two correct. Jones allowed 10.6 yards per target and 17.6 yards per completion, both worst among starting cornerbacks in 2020. Ouch.The best move the Boys made was letting Garrett walk.
:clap:

Wow. I didn’t think Byron did that poorly in Miami. Guess that’s a win for us?

We still get 3rd compensation right ??

4.5 targets a game means he's giving up 47.7 yards per game to the oppositions #1 though right? I didn't watch him, but also didn't hear he was stinking up the joint either.

Diggs had 3 INTS his rookie season. Jones has 4 INTS his entire career.

Have to love Diggs long term outlook. Although I wish we had Jones beside him and either Zeke or Jaylon gone.

@CATCH17 Just had to tag you in this. Wrong again on player analysis. And I like Byron Jones.

We signed both of these guys to ridiculous long term extensions, right? I read it here on CZ that we always do that and never make good decisions ... ever

Correct.

Comp picks are based off average salary per year (APY), snap count and postseason awards. Jones and Quinn will net us high comp picks based off snaps and contract

Well I never thought Jones was as all world as some others here so it’s apparent the dolphins got hosed a bit
That said I’d still rather have jones than zeke

Vanilla2 · Feb 20, 2021

I’m Just gonna pretend I wouldn’t be having a fit over Joneses pay because we are paying someone else whose pay I am currently complaining about.

dsturgeon · Feb 20, 2021

I didn't watch miami games this year, so not sure how he played, but it doesn't matter. Qb's didnt throw at him here. I would have rather have Byrons contract over Zekes. Byron Diggs and Cheeto sound really good in hindsight

He wasn’t terrible. He just wasn’t worth the contract. He was a similar player to what he was here.

Playing opposite of Howard made him seem worse. Howard had 10 picks to Jones 2

Parcells4Life · Feb 20, 2021

Jones was hurt at least the first part of the year. Don’t know how his health was the whole year. That probably contributed. Also he has a good CB on the other side that’s much better than Chido so QBs have to throw at him sometimes.

Every time the Cowboys missed a FG we had people pining for Dan Bailey like it was still 2015. :muttley:

it was nice for that period of time to be able to assume every FG was going in. Hard to let go of that

John813 · Feb 20, 2021

Byron Jones did a good job imo. Once he came back Flores ran a lot of cover 0 blitzes leaving Jones and Howard in one on one coverages.

He got beat a few times deep time to Kirk and Algohor to name a few players but it wasn't till he came back from injury to when that defense started to shine.

If they didn't have Jones and had to trot out Needham and Igho they wouldn't of had so many positive defensive showings.

Hes over paid but is a positive asset to Miami. They had cap to burn

He’s wrong on just about every player he says something about.

baltcowboy · Feb 20, 2021

Byron is the type of cornerback you let go sign elsewhere because of his limited ball skills. The problem is you can say the same for Tank at defensive end, limited sack numbers. Zeke at running back, lacks breakaway ability. The Cowboys kept two mistakes even though Tank does play a premium position. Extending Zeke made no logical sense.

Can’t explain why the Cowboys extended Jaylon???

aria · Feb 20, 2021

So glad we let Jones walk and signed zeke and Jaylon instead, great move by Jerrah

TwoCentPlain · Feb 20, 2021

Yet, I'm guessing teams are chomping at the bit to sign Awuzie to $10M+ and Lewis to $7M+ contracts. Announcers just love saying ex-Cowboy and NFL fans are all ears hearing anything 'Cowboy.'

I guess Miami paid market price for Byron Jones. We learned Byron Jones' lack of INTs was not because of scheme, not because of coaching, but solely due to Jones' technique, lack of ball skills, and not even looking for the ball.

Vikings just extended Bailey and now he is fighting for his job in Minnesota. Probably be a cut and the Vikes will eat dead cap money.
