If we keep him, fine. But Reggie White comparisons? Come on man!
Looked up the defensive stats this morning. 1 assist on a tackle. 3 passes defended.
Jones 3 deflections were MVP worthy.
Kittle was wide open on the first. If the 49ers extend that drive, we could have lost the Super Bowl on that play alone. His next two deflections were critical in getting the 49ers to turn it over on downs and allowing us to clinch the Super Bowl.
Jones also caused the interception in the 2nd quarter. I understand that critiquing Jones performance softens the blow if he leaves - but the dude put together a defensive MVP worthy game and it’ll be tough to lose him. Seriously, with respect to Williams, I don’t think we beat the 49ers with our D against the Texans without that turnover or deflections. It’s okay, though. Reid and Veach have earned the trust to continue reloading our squad to be championship caliber. [Reply]

Bill has always loved Cam. So there’s that. [Reply]

They'd really have to revamp that scheme to make him fit, but it'd certainly be interesting to see
Yeah, it would require a Joe Flacco to Lamar Jackson like makeover of their offense. The good news for them is their offense is so bad that now is not the worst time for that kind of turnover. I think Cam is also undefeated against Bill, which is probably part of the reason why Bill respects him so much. [Reply]
