Maybe, but we weren't better without Jones. In fact, we were much, much worse. So how does that really translate, I ask myself? To me, it's not the DBs and their inablity to make plays on the ball. Truth is, INTs don't usually come off of spectacular plays on the ball. That's not how it works. INTs come when three things happen, typically. One, when you can prevent a Receiver from getting into position to make a catch. Two, when you can pressure the QB into making a quick or poor throw. Three, when you can fool a QB into making the wrong read in Coverage. That's where the overwhelming majority of turnovers come from. So the ability to make spectacular plays on the ball are really overrated IMO. Build a Defense that can create those three situation and you will get TOs. But that's not what this organization has done in the last several years. I feel like we are stuck on this idea that DBs need to create TOs with dynamic plays on the ball and nothing could be further from the truth. I feel like we are stuck on Deion mode. This franchise doesn't get it. There was one Deion and he's been gone for like 22 years now, figure it out guys. This is not the way to draft talent at DB. Build a defense that complements each other and works together. Stop trying to find the next Deion because guess what, that guy may never come and even if he does, the NFL rules may never allow him to be as great as Deion was in his time.
