I wish the fact that he hasn't shown a ton as a pass rusher made us less likely to take him.
It just doesn't. Or at least it hasn't.
Maybe as Jones ages (and we all agree he declined a bit last year, right?) they'll get away from using our DEs like Romeo did when we were 2-gapping. He uses the DEs to occupy blockers and space to free up Jones. Maybe when Jones isn't the game to game force that he was at his peak, we'll get away from that a bit.
But if we're gonna, the time to do it is now. Don't wait until Jones is on fumes -- do it now. Do it when it's starting to look like he has to pick his spots a little more than he did in the past. Do it in a way that ALLOWS him to pick spots and get some breaks now and again.
Don't wait until we've used him up.
