IMO Jones is definitely worth a first round pick. I think hes a stud rb. In our weak OL plus pass happy offense he still excels. In a run heavy offense with blockers, hed go ape shit. Curious if Kamara and Jones switched teams, what the result would be

Note to Jones. Please stay away from elevators. Take the stairs. Nothing bad happens on stairs.

I didn’t specify but was speaking strictly of running backs.

The other Aaron was clearly not expecting that great of a block. Hopefully Jones has earned his trust and he won't bail out like that in the future.

Jones bulked up over the off season. I forget the amount, but IIRC he gained like 7-8 pounds of muscle mass in hopes he'd absorb hits and avoid injury. He also carried the ball 23 times and had 27 touches. I cannot fathom McStubborn ever allowing that. Im not saying Jones could handle that over 16 games, but it's still refreshing to see a HC actually willing to RTFB.

Yep - when that play happened I thought the same thing - no need to spin out like he did. #12 clearly wasn't expecting the block that he got from Jones.

Yeah, when I looked up at the scoreboard in the 3rd quarter and saw that he already had 18 carries I said that was like 3 games with McVince!

I love how he doesn't stop after knocking him on his ass. He searches him out laying at the feet of the lineman and goes in to block him again.

Jones was blocking like Smith said something nasty about Jones' mother.

I've been saying this for years. Aaron Jones is EVERY bit as good as Dub Jones.

So Aaron Jones was fined $10,527 for his wave to Cowboys CB Byron Jones when scoring his 3rd TD. Even tho he was not penalized on the play the No Fun League came down hard on him. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story...-cowboys-byron-jones

Really fortunate he didn't draw a taunting flag on the play.

I thought his wave was dumb, but glad he didn't get flagged.There's a difference between fun and being an A-hole.

Agreed. Don't taunt the opponent. Celebrate with your teammates instead.

Yea, I think Aaron Jones' money was well-spent there... With all the shit talking going on out there, I'm a little surprised that drew a fine.

Re: ROUND 5 PICK 182 - RB AARON JONES (UTEP)
What kills me, absolutely slays me, is the fact the only Eagles player to get fined from our game with them was Barnett. Out of how many (6-7?) PF penalties, that's the only one. But then fine a player for some crap like this. NFLFU indeed.

I still think he first intended to get ready for a stiff arm then realized how much space he had. Got caught up in the moment. Hope the other Aaron peels off a few bills from his State Farms commercials or puts Jones in a commercial to cover the fine.

I think you'd be surprised how the players get their fines covered.

He had a couple of blitz pickups last week that were as good as you will ever see from a RB.

I don't think it was ever a weakness. More of MM being a pussy and not trusting the kid.

The most underpaid position in football. Here’s the ball, go get your entire body bashed in for 3 hours. Shower up and do it again in a week. Brutal. 5 years later you’re done. The rookie needs to get the playbook down pronto. We need a sacrificial here so our double-barreled is shooting straight for the last quarter.

At $695K, Green Bay Packers’ Running Back Aaron Jones Is The NFL’s Best Bargain

At least they know Aaron Jones name. From the SI recap of the game: Feeling the pressure yet again, Rodgers rolled out of the pocket and heaved a pass toward the right sideline as he fell to the ground. There, Damien Williams somehow took the ball away from Chiefs linebacker Ben Niemann while tapping both feet inbounds. Way to go SI!

I think it was a weakness before he strengthened up. He got run over by LBs in the past now he can hang.

Re: ROUND 5 PICK 182 - RB AARON JONES (UTEP)
I think Aaron Jones epitomizes exactly what has been wrong with the Packers for years. They have lacked speed and quickness and for quite a few years size as well. Other teams have had players like Jones, good in space, fast, quick, hard to get down because you can't catch them. Who has GB had since before Terdell Middleton broke down who has been like that? I cannot name one. They have had some good backs, Eddie Lee, A Green, Levens, Paul Ott Carruth and Harlan Huckleby. But none of them...

Another issue is the previous coach's willingness/ability to properly utilize the talent.
