[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 928363, member: 9033"] Jones, over his career, has more yards after contact per attempt, is more trusted by the coaches, and has more short yardage conversions; though this year the yards after contact is a tie. You bring up Dillon's great run while conveniently ignoring Jones doing the same thing at the goal line in the same game. You believe 40 extra pounds is a massive difference in getting short yardage but I'll take the guy that doesn't give defenders a clean shot over the guy that relies on overpowering the defender; Dillon is a massive, strong man but he's not running through a 300+ pound DT. Jones can squeeze through a much smaller hole than Dillon. I've always thought that being a big back is more advantageous once you get past the los, not so much AT the los (I also think bigger backs are far more impactful when you have a dominant run blocking oline that can keep that dline off the RB and force the smaller guys to tackle him). I'm not saying Dillon is a bad running back, he's good. Jones is one of the 5-7 best running backs in the league though. We're also not even discussing that Jones is much better in pass pro in case they audible or that Jones is treated as a bigger receiving threat by defenses than Dillon (though Dillon fumbles [I]slightly[/I] less per touch). Which is why I'm still confused why we didn't see more Jones just lined up at WR with Dillon at RB. Hopefully someone can explain what I'm missing with that potential lineup. [/QUOTE]
