Byron Jones getting praise on CBS

[mikedog10]

Gotta love when they take a minute to talk up a UConn product on national TV. My only regret is that he's on the Cowboys, not the Patriots!

Saw that! He's doing a great job shutting down Gronk!! Sweet......

In case there are those who aren't watching, Jones is 1 on 1 against GRONK and Brady has yet to throw it to him once. Jones is taking away the Pats top target and it's led to 4 sacks.

If you can shut down Gronk, you're doing something special. Kudos to Byron.

The RB Dion Lewis for Pats is reportedly 5'7"-5'8" and 195 lbs. So I guess small, speedy, all purpose backs can play in the NFL. Good to know.

More praise for Jones. Brady just tried his first attempt to Gronk and was INC. Jones lined out wide and jammed Gronk perfectly. This is definitely Jones' best game in the NFL.

BJ doing a great job but only gonna contain him for so long...

 

[Doggie Style]

Gronk TORCHED him on that last drive.

 

[Dooley]

Gronk's gonna make plays - that's why he's the best. The second catch was a designed pick route that gave Gronk the separation he needed for a big gain.

This is excellent for Bryon's career, the fact the D coordinator has the trust to line up a rookie against the best TE and possible best receive in the NFL bodes well. However, like a few posters above me said you can only slow down Gronk for so long as we saw in the second half.
