He's going against there best WR. The Cowboys traveled from a long Training Camp, The Broncos are not. I'm not surprised that the Cowboys, Jones, is not as sharp as he might be. I think a great deal of the problem here is that a great many fans believed that Jones was the second coming of Deion. When Jones was in Tennessee, he was a top 10 CB IMO. He was not the best CB in the league. He's a year removed, with no playing time, from that player. Newman is our Shutdown CB. Henry is our other starter. Jones is probably our third CB. We have Jenkins, Scandrick, Olg and Ball, all young players, getting valuable experience. We still have the best set of CBs in the league, IMO. It's different when the real bullets start flying. When Denver starts trying to pass block with a rookie vs Demarcus and Ellis is matched up on the other side with Ratliff and Tank coming hard off the DL, lets see how many deep developing routes Denver comes up with. Lets see how that pass rush effects Denvers ability to throw the ball. I'm not blind and i don't believe that all Cowboy lspickets flow with hot and cold running Hersey Syrup but it's also not the end of the world. Jones is still about the best darn 3rd CB in the league. He will only improve as he gets more time on the field. San Diego is a much better defense then Denver. Our starting O humiliated them. When we are right, we are very right. The sky is not falling and we will continue to improve as time goes on.
Maybe Jones isn't the CB many may have thought he was but he's still a very good DB who is going to get better. We will be fine. We just need to get back to work. That's all.
