Jack Jones was beaten in coverage by Amon-Ra St. Brown and views the experience as a catalyst for improvement. Jones is transitioning from preferring off coverage to being pressed at the line of scrimmage and is learning new techniques and hand usage. The Dolphins changed his role to a more physical, press-man style that requires different tricks to achieve proper positioning. Jones entered the league as a 2022 fourth-round pick and has played for New England and Las Vegas. An injury to Ethan Bonner created increased playing opportunity while coaches aim to expand Jones's defensive toolbox.
I would like to consider myself an off corner," Jones said, "but coming here, they just pretty much changed it all around and I'm pressed all the time. I've got to get up in a guy's face, you know, just learning different techniques, different tricks to, to help me get myself in the right position.
The one thing I love about Jack is some of the things we're asking him to do are kind of foreign to him, are really just aren't in his wheelhouse. We know what he does best, we're just asking him to trust us in trying to build and add some tools to his toolbox.
But I got better from that and I'm learning the technique that I'm not used to doing. So he made me better. So if anything, I'd rather be him than anyone else.
