Mike Neal just got bumped down the depth chart and it doesn't look like Worthy will be ready. I would not be surprised to see Jones get 40 snaps opening day. We drafted the "new age" guy to help neutralize "new age" offenses as the story goes...if not against SF, then who and when? NOTE: We also drafted an "old age" DE/NT to mix it up with Pickett and Raji. Going first round for Jones had nothing to do with "new age" over "old age"...it had to do with perceived value and limited "new age" options further down in the draft. In fact, I hate this term "new age"...3-4 defenses have been looking for these kinds of guys for the better part of a decade, preferably with 3-down ability.</blockquote>
