We wanted Jones to be an over the top FS, and he just wasn't good at it. No feel for zone. No sense of attacking the ball or making hits as the ball comes down. Not good in run support either. Tended to get taken for a ride. Wasn't good as a corner for us either. Marinelli liked over the top zone coverage, and Byron doesn't have the knack.
But put him in man coverage underneath and trailing, and he's great. For Marinelli, that was a specialty role on TEs. For Richard, that's a starting cb.
Jones did seem to slide a little at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if teams figured him out, or that was a momentary slump.
