Yes, Beast. That’s what I mean. Teams will scheme against Jones, and having WRs and TEs that can make a defense scared to scheme against Jones, because they have to honor the rest of the offense, is SOOO important.
Jones is also really good at blitz pickup, too. That is really important in keeping our QB from getting killed.

First off, Aaron Jones has been injured numerous times, almost all the times have been while pass blocking... I don't give two darns how good at it he is, he gets killed while doing it, don't have him do it!
Second off, this scheme is largely about maximuming the RBs ability to be a weapon, getting the defense to focus more on him (not less)... to take pressure off the passing game.
Third, (to go with one and two), this scheme mostly ask RBs to be receivers a lot more often than blockers, as this maximize their ability to make plays happen in open field and to create an easy check down, while this means the QB has one less blocker, you can often get a RB one on one with a LBer (and Jones doesn't have to block).
Forth, if say a defense refuses to focus more on the RB... THEN Plan B is to do what you are suggesting and get them over forced on the pass game and run the ball, as we saw that in the last Packers vs 49ers game. But that's not plan A....
