That "business decision" made Deion proud.

hmmmm...did he really avoid making a tackle or did he think Pollard was on his way down already?
I ask because he's bigger than Pollard, so, why would he hesitate to make the tackle?

#26 Chris Jones made zero effort to make a tackle. Opened the door for Pollard. Sure brought me out of my chair!

"I'm probably not as wowed as others because I see it all the time ... very special."
What does that, "very special" mean?

That whole right side (McGovern, Zack, Shultz) blocked it up, plus the crack block by Brown made it easy for Pollard.

I think Jones thought Pollard was going to cut outside. Instead, Pollard did the opposite.
Pollard juked Jones out of play.

I don't think Jones was intensional trying to avoid making a play. He just got juked.

I would go with this, Jones thought one thing and when it happened he was flat footed.

Exactly.

Yeah sometimes your brain forgets to tell your feet what to do. I think that's what happened to Jones there. He was indecisive about which way to go so he ended up going nowhere.

Mike Jenkins came out of retirement.....sure of it.

I think he thought Pollard was possibly going to try to bounce it outside of him and he had no help toward the sideline. So he tried to break down to keep Pollard inside, but didn't know until it was too late that Dallas had the inside walled off.

Should have read this before posting my response. Jones definitely appeared to be trying to keep his containment responsibilities. The worst thing for a corner is to get sucked inside (where there is supposed to be help) and end up giving up the sideline. The problem for him is that Dallas has walled off the lane so well that Pollard didn't have to slow down, make a cut or anything. By the times Jones knew that, it was far too late.

Jones looked like former cowboy cb mike jenkins.

Looks like Schultz got away with a hold.

Glad that we're getting McGovern on the field. He's played ok and may turn out to be good. I hope they give him a legitimate chance to compete for C and LG next year.

Twitter lingo? It’s regular everyday English.

He was talking about Thielan's one handed catch. Saying he's a special player.

 

[AbeBeta]

you dont get a run like that without a great WR block. Brown is pretty elite in that area

 

[MWH1967]

Jones needs to give back his game check....You practice all week for that one opportunity.
