Can we stick a fork in Chandler Jones?

[Russ Smith]

In the postgame interview Budda, wearing what looks like a refs shirt, was asked about the run defense. He didn't name anybody but he said we all have to do our jobs and trust each other, trying to do something other than your job is leading to guys breaking big plays. I have to think he's talking about Chandler Jones giving up the edge so often?

 

[BigRedRage]

we'll see how the season shakes out.

Chandler has been a magnificent cardinal. I’m Glad he has the sack record. Time to move in at seasons end. Hopefully get a good comp pick.

+1

I remember like it was yesterday when some here wanted to throw the bank at him after Week 1.

That was me.

 

[imaCafan]

Seems odd he would start the season with a 5 sack game then fall off the map. Unless he has an unreported injury.

Not to mention all the ridicule thrown at Keim throughout the offseason for going back Golden and not extending Jones.

 

[BritCard]

For what it's worth I feel good about saying we should have traded Chandler in the offseason. Some tried to throw that back at me after game 1.

Chandler reminds me of Dwight Freeney when he got into his 30s. He was just not an option vs the run and mainly a pass rush option. That limited his snaps and you had to scheme around it when you could.

I guess I am not worried too much about Jones at this point. He can still rush the passer so he does have value. He is a liability vs the run which is ok but hurts his value. Is he a 20 mil player right now? No and I was obviously wrong about that. Is he a 14 mil per year player ala Robert Quinn or a 12.5 mil player like JPP? I think that range is arguable but JPP is a FA. And if he doesn't like that, he can test the open market which will include Von, Mercilus, Ingram, and JPP as the over 31 crowd. We will have options.

The tackle he was facing was coming off injury and very obviously wasn’t ready for live fire. The guy who replaced was a scrub. It was more about the tackle than chandler.

Not real

Not really that’s just how bad Lewan was….

“He can still rush the passer”

Well yea but not with any sustained level of success. Outside of one Outlier game against a busted up tackle. His production shows in his last 14 games that he just isn’t very good at getting to the QB much anymore.

That play that britt posted was beyond pathetic and shows a complete lack of effort on his part.

 

[Arz101]

I like Chandler Jones. If this is it so be it. He was a good Cardinal..all things come to an end.

Yes, very much agree. Guy has had a great career in Cardinal red. Now, after this season is over it is time to move on. Luckily the cardinals didnt panic and resign him. Worked out perfectly

pretty sure thats what chan and his agent were counting on.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man... would be great to have a young stud pass rusher on the team who’s not only waiting in the wings, but could already produce and be the sack master/TFL dynamo for the future on this team...

agree...did you see that Reddick kid that carolina has?? we could use a dude like that!

It just made so little sense, ESPECIALLY since there wasn’t even an intention to talk contract extension with CJ.

Devon Kennard has an 81.2 PFF grade and is lucky to get 15 snaps a game

Per Pro Football reference his rate of pressures (hurries+knockdowns+sacks) is tied with DeForest Buckner, Shaq Barrett, Brian Burns, and Clowney at 20 for the season. He has one less than Danielle Hunter who he has played one more game than. He is tied for 18th in the NFL at 31.

Reddick has 22 in 10 games. So Chandler Jones has two less pressures than Reddick despite having played 2 less games.

while Reddick also has 3.5 more sacks and 5 more TFL and we could have had both.

That's on VJ.

I’m off the re-sign Chandler movement now, but I make this proclamation.

Chandler Jones will be our MVP through the playoffs and Superbowl. He is saving himself for the postseason because he knows we are getting in. Once the postseason starts, he will play out of his mind for fame, glory, and $$$$$. I predict 12 sacks and a tipped pass deflection interception for a touchdown this postseason.

So let it be written, so let it be done!

I had the exact same thought the last couple of days. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see CJ become a holy terror during the playoffs.

If he does that and we win the Superbowl, that would be acceptable!

 

[Jetstream Green]

Can we not just yet even though his recent performance entails he might be deserving... if you want to have a shot at a Superbowl, lay off the fork and root for him
