Seems it is gonna be D Jones

I leader he seems to be. I like the guy but think he is limited. Offensive line needs to get their shit together. Since everyone began blathering on about how great they are and how brilliant Ballard is they have been a sieve. This is a good team that finds ways to win, all teams have ups and downs. We know what this team can do, have seen it. Having two shut down corners will do incredible things for this defense. They are capable of a deep run in December, maybe thru February if they get hot. I cannot remember with any clarity the last time I actually believed that. What more could you ask for in November?

This was almost the banner image this week, but it creeps me out that his eyes are tracking two different directions. This is surely how he sees the entire field.

Jones in the past two games- 4 interceptions, 6 fumbles(3 lost), and 12 sacks taken.

He’s been really bad lately and that cannot continue if we expect to go anywhere this season.

Pittsburg and Atlanta both blitzed him pretty heavily and had success doing it. That will continue until he figures it out or gets benched again.

Atlanta "succeeded" to the tune of allowing 31 points and losing, Pittsburgh would have had similar results if they didn't get some of the most fortuitous bounces of the ball I've ever seen (i.e. the Sawyer INT). The OL needs to pass block better, but if these are the results blitzing produces, I'm not sure that I'm concerned.

You’re not concerned about 12 sacks, 6 fumbles, and 4 ints in a 2 game stretch?

Ok, I admire your optimism.

Honestly, in my opinion, you learn what you can from the Pittsburgh game, then flush the film. The Steelers had so many fluke lucky things break in their favor in that game, had a +5 turnover margin, 24 points off turnovers, and still only managed to win that game by 7. Can you imagine what this offense would do with a +5 turnover margin and 24 points off turnovers? They probably drop near 50 and win by 4 scores at least.

As for yesterday's game, the pass blocking wasn't there, even Taylor reverted back to his poor pass blocking, with a Kaden Elliss spin move beating him for one of the sacks. That said, I'm glad to see them win in adverse conditions, because if they want to win the whole thing, they're going to have to win games where they don't play their best. To do that against what seems like a pretty solid Falcons team is a good sign.

Jones is a brainiac who originally committed to Princeton and wound up going to Duke, so he presumably has enough wisdom to know that remaining in a situation that is leaps and bounds superior to the one that he was mired in for 7 seasons in New York is more important than a few extra million dollars on the free-agent market.

So in my rat's of an opinion, Jones will be staying with the Colts in 2026 (presuming that the Colts remain on the successful track that they are currently on for the remainder of the 2025 season.)

Pass protection.

Jones is part of that as well. First of all, he has to secure the ball. Second, he has to get rid of the ball when the other team is blitzing.

As I said, teams are going to continue doing this. It’s up to Steichen and Jones to get it corrected.
