The Packers' run defense was actually better without Jones than with him.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Packers gave up 4.93 yards per rush, including 3.15 yards before contact with Jones in the lineup. Without Jones, opponents averaged 4.74 yards per rush, but their yards before contact was only 2.47.

Sadly still more of a pass rusher than anything at this point.

That's kinda a curious chart. For example, how is Neal so bad in pass rush when observation seems to say he has been decent? And Daniels has been OK, but THAT good? I suspect this is something like shortstops in baseball - some have high fielding percentages and few errors because they have limited range while others go after more, make a few mistakes along with a lot of good plays. Datone is right there with Clay Matthews; I don't see the badness in that. Also, it would seem like who the opponents were might also affect things.

The only reason I don't post their findings on a game to game is that I is simply came across these rankings on another football forum. The person who posted these rankings didn't post the game to game results.
