Toledo Bill Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Oliver is getting a lot of accolades, our linebackers and ends get some well deserved praise but it seems Jones goes a little under the radar. He makes constant penetration and occupies a lot of double teams. Focus on his play and he seems to be a real force. it seems when he is out we are much more vulnerable to the run. I respect his efforts. 8 22 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuba guy Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yes I agree 100% he does get right upfield and always has 2 olineman hanging of him like he is always in beast mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th&long Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It no secret why the bengals ran all over us in the playoffs, Jones was out. He is our best run stuffer. 4 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 He’s a force. I hope we extend him if he can stay healthy and continue this level of play 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW82 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 He’s the beef. When he’s not in it can get extra lean out there. Bungles become Bengals and whatnot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 He played great all last year too. I think something (hopefully) seems unleashed in our DL this year. Whether it’s McD, slight schematic adjustments, more in synch, or whatever: they just seem to be taking it to another level 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect his efforts. Jones has been very good, but what I like about Eddie is the fire and urgency he’s playing with. It’s infectious and the defense is playing downhill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets enjoy ! Ps Thats what i watch during games , the trenches. Love it Go Bills 11 minutes ago, maddenboy said: not really, from what i remember Star was supposed to be Ted Washington Jones is a little closer to Sam Adams. (different body though, obviously) Star was here to mentor and hold the line. temporary. He did draw the double teams team though and played the correct gap. I might suggest referring to the Edmunds thread at this pint as to was he was not as recognized for doing his job as well as some might have hoped like the analogy maddenboy Those were the Days ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That run stuffer who can occupy multiple OL is a huge help to this DL and LB group. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 It’s not a coincidence that Milano and Edmunds both had their best seasons to date when Jones arrived last year 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it’s McD, slight schematic adjustments, more in synch, or whatever: they just seem to be taking it to another level I think it's McDermott's work as DC. Gone is Frazier's passive D that relied on Edmunds' size and speed to limit the damage, and waiting for bad opposing offenses to screw up. McDermott is attacking, and other teams haven't figured out how to respond. McD was an excellent DC in Carolina, and I suspect he was frustrated during Frazier's tenure. And he finally took action, easing Frazier out in the nicest way possible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect his efforts. He was our 2nd best Dlineman last year behind Von Miller. I hope we can re-sign him or get draft a similar type player that's a little younger. It's why I was calling for us to draft Keeanu Benton last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Very surprised he didn't get extended. He's getting up there in age so I wouldnt break the bank, but hopefully we can get him signed for a couple more years on a reasonable deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
