That's why I got it wrong on Jones. Or at least didn't see him as a slam-dunk 1st round talent.
I saw him coast in college. DTs with motor issues scare the absolute hell out of me because so much of being successful in that position is being willing to get your ass kicked and keep coming.
Those guys just get beat up so much down there and they just have to keep going. And too many of them simply won't do it.
And that issue gets to all the rest of their game. They don't work on their technique or pad level because "Man, why bother - I'm just gonna get smoked by double teams anyway..."
That's why Jones is so special. Play after play he's out there hunting and when the double DOESN'T come or isn't as effective, he's ready to take advantage of the opportunity.
