Jones uses a rip move to get clear of his matchup, and then demolishes the running back who attempts to block him.

Jones holds up between two blockers, splits them and then gets the run stop.

Jones does play with a high pad level, and tends to shoot straight up at the snap instead of low, or out. He’ll lose leverage and sometimes plays like this will happen as a result.

Jones has an array of moves he uses, including a rip, swim, and on this play, a spin.

Look how quickly Jones gets into the backfield on this play. He was picked up by the running back before he could get the sack, though. On a play like this, you’d like to see Jones make the running back pay for stepping up, like he did in a previous clip.
