"I guess it was a great lead-up to where I want to go. It was nice to kind of have a supporting role in the beginning of the season where I'm just getting in a couple plays here and there and then build up to my starting job. To be able to start 11 games in the season, I think that really helped me just get a feel for the game, for the speed. Guys are so much bigger, faster, stronger than in college."


This is lost completely upon our 'rook' defensive end...Gregory.

He's going to lose the benefit equal to two straight years of pre season development. He's under strengthed, undersized, and apparently over whelmed.

Gronk is a very tough matchup for anyone
He's big, fast and strong and that's a rare combination

He did a great job, and both of Gronk's positive plays were illegal and should'v been flagged.

Ya as a rookie that basically shut down Gronk was amazing. Hoping Jones will continue to improve and be a stud we need on defense. Was very pleased with his play all year

Well hopefully next year Jones will actually make some big game changing plays in our favor instead of being on the losing end

He did a good job on the Commanders tight end as well. I can't think of his name. He will be a handful over the next several years if not longer.

Yeah, that was awesome watching Jones get stiff armed into to the ground on a 3rd and long by Gronk. He plays like an undersized DB.

I like Jone - a lot - but I'm just trying to think if Ronnie Lott would ever utter those words about another player.

No way.
