Jones makes it look easy, using a pull-rip to get by the offensive lineman, but then fails to come up with the sack. This is the second time in this game where Jones had an easy sack but didn’t convert.

Great play recognition by Jones as he disrupts the QB’s throwing lane to the flats, forcing him to hang onto the ball instead.

Jones gets stuck and uses no counter moves to try to get free, and then gives a poor effort to finish.

Nothing spectacular; just Jones doing his job. He anchors well and is difficult to move off his spot, and then he gets the run stop.

One last play to show how ridiculous his burst is. This is a 6’6″, 310 lb. human being.
