    When did you see that? There isn't a Left tackle who Jones has been able to over match since he came into the league.

      You do know "sets the edge" means vs. the run right? JJ has certainly done that better than people thought he would.

        He does set the edge well and is generally well regarded as a run defender.

          JJ is a much better player, when healthy, than Ovi wants to give him credit for being...if he ran a 4.2 forty, it would probably be different...

          Hopefully, Jones will stay healthy this year and make Ovii eat some crow...at least, that's what all true Steeler fans should be hoping to see...
          Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

            And of course will you gladly eat crow yourself when Jones produces more of the same or offer more excuses after Year 3

                I won't "gladly" eat the aforementioned crow, because it would be bad for my team. OTOH, if Jones proves you wrong, that would be good for the team...an outcome for which you, a Steelers fan, should hope...

                If Jarvis Jones makes me eat crow, I will do so...but far from gladly...

                  I will gladly eat virtual crow on this board if Jones is a success, because as you say it will be great for the team. I have never hoped for Jones to fail, I have just never been confident he would succeed. I do hope you are right.
