"I think the last two years, every time he starts making improvement, he's hurt," Trgovac said. "When you're a defensive lineman and you're close to a 300-pound guy and you hurt your ankle, it's hard to move a 300-pound body on a bad ankle. Hopefully, he can have a little bit of luck because Tone works hard and Tone loves this game. I think he does a lot of good things for us."

Jones has read what's been written about him and hears what's said. He's fully aware of the perception that "Datone didn't have the jump" in 2014 that you look for in second-year players. Still only 24, Jones believes there's time to live up to his draft status.

Stfu and get it done, Tone. You're Mike Neal until proven otherwise.



Sounds like he's doing what he can to stay healthy. Sounds like they're projecting him as a back up now. Behind Guion and Daniels. Maybe that will help him stay healthy.



I just feel like this dude should be a 265 pound 4-3 DE. That's how he'd have explosiveness. But we shall see.
