Jones believes the 4-3 defense should help him play more free, more reactionary football.
“I feel like it’s more of an attack front — and when I say attack front, I feel like everybody has a smaller responsibility,” Jones told Bickley & Marotta on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station. “You have one gap and go straight forward. When you’re in a 3-4 defense, a lot of guys on the front line on the defensive line are two-gap, which you have a lot more responsibility.
“It makes it go that much faster. Like Robert Nkemdiche, he’s so explosive off the ball, and I felt like a lot of times last year … he was thinking too much. He was two-gapping. He’ll tell you himself, he’s not a two-gap player. I’m excited for him.”
The truth will bear itself out on the field.
