Quote:I agree with Pirkster. He's had some moments. Has played better than some other players we've drafted that high and couldn't possibly be more underwhelming than Matt Jones whose feet turned to concrete after the combine.

 

What I respect about him, and probably what's kept him around, is that he always seems to be working hard.

 

He gets flattened, and he gets back up and gives 110% on the next play.

 

If we were down big and the rest of the team was giving their half effort, he was still giving 110%.  Every play.

 

He's also played hurt, where some folks can't seem to stay on the field.

 

Complain about the pick all you want, I get it.  Regardless, the player still earns my respect.
