Chad Jones leaving isn't a horrible blow

Dandy Don said it was a major blow. I disagree. CJ missed a lot of tackles and coverages. He wasn't a natural safety so that could be the reason but he didn't fulfill expectations like we hoped. A good player but not a game changer like he could have been.

it's worse for him than it is for us, IF (and this is a big if, right now) Loston is as good as advertised... if not, then yes, the Dandy one is correct... again

Are you kidding me? He changed the outcome of at least 2 games. Did u see the Miss State game? He isn't a major blow only b/c we have the #1 safety coming out of high school a year ago.

I agree with wooden nickel, Chad Jones obviously was a valuable player/athlete but it seemed like he relied mostly on speed and athleticism and never really had or developed football insticts or a feel for the position. With Loston coming in, I don't think it will be too damaging to our defense.

Everything you'd said is erroneous. He's a good safety. Most of what you stated are rant myths.
He was arguably the best player on defense.

By the end of the season Chad Jones was playing very good football. He was our best defensive player in the bowl game for sure. Losing him is definitely a big blow regardless if Loston is great. If Loston's that good he would have been playing with Chad Jones next year instead of having to replace him and that would have been scary.
I'm pretty sure he defined 'game changer' in a few games

Losing CJ is a huge blow. He was the leader on defense,a play maker, and brought toughness. He will be a #1 draft choice. We have to develop some kids, including Losten to backfill.
