On the Byron Jones quandary, I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss him.
I think we’d all agree that he is at least a very good corner who just doesn’t make many plays, right? Okay, well the Cowboys defense has called man coverage about 25% of the time, give or take. Who knows how the guy would be in a heavy man coverage role? I don’t think he’d set the world on fire with 7-10 Ints or anything, but with his coverage ability, he could definitely be in position for many more passes defensed, etc and maybe a few Ints a year. Would he actually catch them? Who knows?!?
I believe we’re in the unfortunate position of the coaching change coming in his contract year. I’d love to have one season to see how he performs in a more aggressive defense. Just playing devils advocate here.
