[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 879643"] To do what, exactly? Run the ball out of two back, single wide set? You might as well just hold up a sign that says, "pack the box". Split Adams and Jones with Sternberger in the slot? Jones in the slot with Sternberger out wide? Neither Jones nor Sternberger have the route running chops to play wide. I floated the idea of Jones out of the slot some months ago but have come to have second thoughts. If you look at his big plays last year, from the slot or wide, he's beating linebackers. Now, Jones is probably the best route runner out of the slot on this roster except for those snaps where Adams moves inside. But if he's running those routes on a regular basis, anticipated with slot corner coverage, his productivity there may not be all that great while sacrificing his productivity as a runner, catching out of the backfield and running routes from motion where he can get isolated on those LBs. You'd have to expect Dillon to substantially replace that RB productivity vs. Jones in his usual spot and one of the WRs out of the slot to get to a net add. That's a big "if". I wouldn't rule out trying it but I wouldn't rule in that it would work as a staple. [/QUOTE]
