"Two snaps per game, 13 percent of the snaps on the year," said Jones, not exaggerating that much. "That's what you get, 31/2 sacks in a season. Playing more, who knows what could happen?"



Ok, so that's a pretty good percentage. Let's say he plays twice that amount, he should get 7 sacks next year, right?

"There's a lot of expectations," said Jones, who actually played about one-fourth of the total defensive snaps.



So let's say he played 1/4 of the snaps. He can easily get up to half the snaps, if Capers will allow him on the field. After all he's no longer a rookie, right? Capers likes his vets. I'd say 7 sacks is a pretty decent year for a DL.

Now, add in that he's working on his technique, developing more moves. Should easily get to 10 sacks, especially if he plays maybe 60% of snaps? Time to prove it, Datone.

Btw, I tried to post his using the DISCUSS button on the HEADLINES page, didn't work. ;)

I guess he broke out his second year in college.

I think Jones is a good example of what happens to most rookies if they miss time in OTA's and pre-season.

We as fans see the results on Sundays, but it's all the preparation during the week that keeps a rookie up to speed.

Jones was injured first series of the first pre-season game(after having a pretty good showing at OTA's), so he was behind from the start and never really caught up.

Talk is cheap, but if Datone stays healthy through the pre-season, I could see him having a pretty significant jump in playing time, tackles, and sacks.

Talk about a guy with a chip on his shoulder. All he hears is how much of a disappointment he is. If he is able to stay healthy and channel that onto the field this year then watch out.

This is one player we really need to see improvement from. He came into the OTAs looking much bigger. I am guessing with Peppers and Matthews working that front 7 for us, and a highly motivated Daniels, maybe Jones sees more one on ones, and can take advantage.

Double-digit sacks this season for Datone? Possibly.
