Default Nate Jones - Can this player be the hidden gem from the streets?

I like the fact that this guy has been around for 8 years and has vast knowledge of playing in the AFC East before he came here.

A question few in here would get would be....
What Defensive Player was second in total tackles to Vince Wilfork in the Pats Colts game?...... Yes its,Nate Jones with 9 tackles - 3 of those assisted in his FIRST game on a NEW team

We might finally have a guy in the secondary that can tackle and not whiff

Even though it was against a 0-12 team,From what I saw,this is a huge upgrade from Adams

When was the last time a guy came off the streets after nearly a 1/2 year and was involved in 9 tackles?....BTW Nate played in all but 4 defensive snaps in Sunday's game which surely means Belichick liked what he saw.

Vince had more than 9 tackles in one game? Jesus... those are otherworldly numbers for a NT.

I agree, but I think VW lined up as more of a 3-tech vs Indy. Obviously, it seemed to work out pretty good.

Not sure if the move was team/week related to the Colts running attack, or if we'll see it again in the weeks to come.

Vince had 10 which tells you the pass rush from the edge was not working and Vince was plenty busy inside.

Ahm...isn't having a high number of tackles usually a bad sign for a cornerback?

It certainly could be viewed that way, depending upon how they were playing him etc.

I didn't focus on Jones, but he always seemed to pop up around the play, so that's good i guess. i don't recall any of our other safeties doing so.

Could explain why Vince tackling people means the pass rush isn't working? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Jones looked good, but it's just one game.
