PFF: Byron Jones best player on roster; 4th best safety in league; no better safety in coverage

I don't see it. I hope he is as good as everyone says but I don't see the big plays.

PFF 9/26: Byron P. Jones - Overrall: 88.2 - Coverage: 88.9 - Run Support: 86.8 (4th best safety (not FS, S!) in the league; best cover safety in the league; best player on Cowboys roster)

It's very early, but I'm getting really excited. The kid is a stud and has a chance to be special. Based on his game, and thus, role, he's not going to get the picks that he would as a traditional center-fielder. But that doesn't mean the impact isn't there. The kid can fly, is a sure and solid tackler, and has the length to match up against the increasingly utilized TE, which is a mismatch for most teams.

Don't let the two TDs to Miller last night fool you. Jones played a great, great game. You can't reasonably ask him to be in better position than he was on either of the two TDs. The first was simply a 50/50 play, despite his great coverage. He knocked the first attempt away but the couldn't get to the second one. Still great coverage. The second TD was a well designed and executed play by the Bears and Miller. They used the LB as a screen and Byron was still able to maintain his position while avoiding it and recovering. Again, just run to perfection - and as we know, perfect offense beats perfect defense.

Again, I'm really excited about the guy. He's a true foundation piece and outside of Lee, we haven't had one of those for quite some time.

#31 is balling...

Really tough to judge him and any other DB in the league when you have a pass rush that seizes to exist.

Him and Dak are the best looking athletes on the team, his recovery speed is poetry... Beautiful to watch
