Byron Jones best attribute was that the other 10 players on our defense were so trash, the QB and OC just focused on them.

He was a very good matchup vs opposing TEs, I’ll give him that.

Did he actually go to the Dolphins or did he just retire?

Yea he been stealing checks the last two years but they going to cut him

Byron "Safe Negro" Jones was so damn overrated. :camby:


This fanbase is quickly becoming one of the most hatin ass group ever. Now Byron wasn’t elite?

I said post the elite numbers
You don’t trust your eyes?

In 2018, His 83.1 grade ranked him seventh out all corners, his 10 pass breakups was tied for 10th, and his catch percentage of 53.6% was 14th. A couple more stellar stats include ranking eighth in catches allowed per cover snap and tying for 12th in yards given up per cover snap.



One part of any good cornerback’s game is press coverage, and Jones was one of the best at that very thing last season. As an outside cornerback in the Cowboys’ Cover-1/Cover-3 scheme, Jones was used in press coverage on a whopping 448 snaps last year, which is 40 more than the next cornerback (Steven Nelson, 408) and nearly 90 more than the next player after that (Stephon Gilmore, 359). Jones was used in press coverage for a reason — he was one of the very best in the league when lined up in right in front of the opposing receiver.

Jones had a coverage grade of 82.2 when in press coverage, ranking seventh out of 80 cornerbacks who had at least 100 press coverage snaps. The fact that Jones was able to maintain such a high grade in press coverage — which is a risky coverage by nature — given his high volume is even more impressive, especially when you consider the fact that among the 17 cornerbacks with at least 250 snaps in press coverage, Jones was one of only two to earn a coverage grade of 80.0 or higher.

Diving further into his press-coverage numbers, Jones allowed just 0.78 yards per cover snap, ranking seventh among cornerbacks, and he had a forced incompletion rate of 24.5% that ranked sixth. Additionally, Jones allowed a reception just once every 17.1 press-coverage snaps, ranking fourth at the position. Evidently, Jones is an absolute monster when he’s in the wide receiver’s face at the snap.

Diggs got that off his interceptions numbers. Dude was not lockdown last year and you fukking know it
That wasn’t the argument, the argument is who was better. Diggs got his all-pro off of numbers the way you are supposed to. Byron got his all-pro (second team) by camping on one side of the field ducking all of the elite matchups.

You gotta be shytting me. Post the elite numbers Byron put up, I’ll wait.
By virtue of being an elite corner and being one of the least thrown at corners in the league his last two years here, he doesn't have "elite numbers".

No elite corners do...cause nobody throws at them.

But as soon as he left we had a historically bad defense :mjlol: . I wonder if the two were related :ohhh:

His dallas career is irrelevant. No memorable plays, its like he was never here. JAG

Im not wasting anymore time talking about this scrub that no longer plays for this team. Carry on

By this logic, our defense went from historically bad to historically good once Diggs started playing full seasons last year and this year, yeah?

And Byron Jones bytchass is one of the reasons why we lost that Packers game. Diggs is leaping and intercepting that. Byron playing soft coverage underneath.

Dude never made a play on the ball. QBs just picked on our other corners nonstop. Byron couldn’t wait to celebrate with his gun-in-the-holster taunt when a QB would overthrow the intended target by 5 yards. Meanwhile, Diggs keeping it lowkey while getting weekly INTs last year.

Byron wasn’t trash, but he was not the game changer that Trevon is. They are not the same.
