Opinions on art jones

[Jdubu]

what have you all seen good or lacking in his play since his return? I never noticed him yesterday and it would seem that I should being he was our big FA pick up. We need more of a difference maker to step up the game along the line when we play the elite teams. Has he stood out to anyone?

[ColtsLegacy]

Disappointed. I don't think he did much yesterday (or on the season) that Zach Kerr couldn't have done.

[Track Guy]

Well holding the opponents to 80 rushing yards is a good thing. Yes it's the Jaguars, and yes he only had 2 tackles, but our YPC this season has been much better with Jones on the field. 

[Flash7]

I think it's unrealistic to expect a great game from him coming back from injury, after missing quite a few games.

 

He should get back into the rotation and I am sure we will start to see him making plays. I just hope he get's into a groove come playoffs.

[Dark Superman]

Didn't he have a forced fumble yesterday?

[TKnight24]

Didn't he have a forced fumble yesterday?

We had a forced fumble??!! Wow, thought the Jags were making all the noise on defense the way our offense looked in that first half smh

[HtownColt]

He got credited for it, but Studebaker really forced it

[Ja'Crispy]

I would give him and INC grade so far. I like what I see when he's on the field, but he's been out so much this season.

Yeah apart from the pick and forced fumbles our D got.... Pretty quiet I guess..

[PeterBowman]

I know the sample size isnt great but the Colts D hasnt given up a rushing TD when he plays....so that has account for something

[masterlock]

I don;t think Art Jones has done much when he's been on he field, at least not enough to warrant the contract he got. Hopefully he stays healthy, and has a chance to prove otherwise.

[The Old Crow]

I think Art is a very good player, but has definitely been hampered by injuries. He was very good for the Ravens, and I would give him until the end of next year, where hopefully he plays healthy all year. Redding has played well, so you generally can't go wrong with ex- Raven defensive players. He is a hard-nosed guy.

[Superman]

And the three points, and 3/12 on third down, and 3.6 yards/play, and four sacks, etc. 

 

I'm not thrilled with the defensive performance, as it was a weak opponent, but the defense played a good game. Too many missed tackles, and a sloppy scrape/exchange on the read option, that's about all I can complain about, defensively.

[NewColtsFan]

For the people who seem to keep saying over and over that they're disappointed that Jones has done more.....

 

He hasn't played much.    In fact, he's barely played at all.

 

-- He played the opening game against Denver.

 

-- He played one quarter against Philly and got hurt early in the 2nd Q

 

-- He played a quarter or two against Pittsburgh and then took himself out because he was still hurt and admitted he shouldn't have played.

 

-- He played 4 quarters yesterday.

 

That's barely 10 quarters of football the entire season.

 

The rest of the time,  he's been hurt with the bad high ankle sprain.

[BlueCollarColts]

Art Jones has been a good player for us when healthy. 

[texascolt]

Hasn't he only played 2 1/2 games so far? I don't think that is enough time to judge him.

Let him get a couple more games under his belt before judging.

What you're missing is the fact that, because he got hurt playing football when another 300 pound man landed on his ankle, he's soft and we shouldn't have signed him.

 

You're also missing the very obvious connection, that we lost the three games that Jones had played in, prior to yesterday. So that means he's bad and we shouldn't have signed him. 

 

I hope that helps...

[Indycrazy1287]

And it's not like he plays a super flashy position either...I think he does his job pretty well when he's in there. I'm glad we rested him with our depth on defensive line. High ankle sprains are rough

Thanks.....   I needed that!             

 

I especially liked the last line....      serves me right!         (I hope you notice, I never use that anymore!)

[bap1331]

Did he play against New England? I just hear mixed injury reports and dont even know when hes playing....

[mattceinicram]

I haven't seen enough of him to make a judgment

[Jason_]

I haven't seen enough of him to make a judgment

None of us have. Anyone who says otherwise has an agenda

[conklincolt]

As discussed in a previous post . grade 6.5-7     good  player upper mid level  better than what we had B4  but not  super top ten.

[krunk]

^{I think jones is a pretty good player, just hasn't played much due to the ankle injury.  As long as he remains healthy from here on out his value will be shown.}

^{We certainly need his contribution, but as a whole we need the defense to dig deeper and play their techniques, tackling, and run fits on a higher level to get}

^{where we want to be.} 

[jbaron04]

He suck he always hurt or when he play u never noticed

It's his first game back after an injury that sidelined him for a substantial amount of time. Prior to the injury and please review the tape he is an Anchor of this difference believe it or not. He is a huge part of the reason we were so effective in stopping the run in the beginning of the season.

I brought up the question for those who really pay attention to certain positions and techniques. I have no opinion either way really except for the fact I just hadn't seen his name stand out. I supported the acquisition of him and hope the injury is isolated and doesn't linger in the contract.

Im hoping that once he gets back into Game shape that he will return to the form he played at earlier in the season. That loss to NE still left a sour taste in my mouth.
