I'm on record that Jones was a bad 1st round pick. I'm on record that 64+ other LB had more tackles, and sacks last season in comparison to Jones.
I'm on record that Chick is making plays vs our team in camp, and Jones is not.
Any issues here?
Chickillo's rookie year was a washout as I explained. He transitioned from DL to OLB and played special teams, something Jarvis can't do.
Chick impressed in the 2016 camp, and as soon as he does something, fans will forget the Lions game. Most of the defense was terrible in that game. Our best player was a 38-year-old man that night.
The fun part is watching you trying to defend a dog with fleas, vs. a young player who has some promise. Jones, if he can stay healthy will get his chances again in 2016.
By chance did you also defend Scott Sheilds, and Ziggy Hood?
Sad. I'm not defending Jones I'm asking you to be objective. Stop making excuses and talking in circles. Jones has not lived up to his 1st round status I've said that on board. But he has made plays of some significance for the Steelers. Chickillo hasn't made one play in games vs 3rd and 4th stringers yet because you like him you won't criticize him like you do with people you don't like. And Jarvis Jones did play special teams for the Steelers so can stop saying that like gospel.
You want us to listen to you like you are some expert but you can't be objective. That's makes most of your statements bull ****. Which is why no one takes you seriously. Which is people still give you **** about **** from almost 13 years ago.
Jones made some plays but relative to his snap count, he's awful. Way blow par on sacks and QB pressures, and way below on tackles. Its not even debatable!
You continue to embrace / defend his play. Jones plays special teams? When, and did he ever make a tackle? LOL He's too slow to play kick coverage.
Chickillo has made plays vs. our first stringers in camp. Pretty much every report you read will say he's had a good camp, which is something Jones never had.
Last year doesn't count for a rookie making a positon switch that didn't get many chances. Same thing with Grant. Your argument here is very shallow.
If Chickillo gets the same amount of opportunities in games, I think he's does as well or better.
You're an entire argument this season is based on one pre-season game where 85% of the defense looked like crap.
