I understand the fear that this will happen, but I believe Chris can maintain his weight, size, and speed to stay on the edge. No use worrying unless they allow him to get to 330.Quote:

Yeah -- watch the video of turner's yesterday. He literally called him an athletic freak.
Has anyone seen a report saying he's lost a step? I sure haven't...
I hope he doesn't move inside too but the leverage argument that everyone is trying to make isn't always valid. See Tommy Kelley the once highest paid DL in the NFL.Quote:

well, the Raiders are idiots- but Tommy is 6'6- still not as tall as Jones...there are some exceptions- Tennessee's DT this year is 6'7....it's just something coaches prefer not to have.Quote:

Chris Jones is going to be a monster 300 pound DE in a 3-4 for an NFL team.
agreed. I think he will be the best 3-4 DE in the NFL in 6 years.Quote:

You don't have to be a tweeter to be involved on twitter. Just sign up, follow Bob, and you'll soon find other stuff to follow. Lots of good scoop on twitter. Oh and follow Mike Bonner too.
I hope you're right, but he hasn't played one snap in the sec yet much less the nfl.Quote:

To succeed in the nfl you need more than just talent. I do like hearing jones is a hard worker and willing to be taught. I can certainly see your prediction coming true and I hope it does.Quote:
