I thought Ninko was doing a pretty good job opposing Jones on the other side. I think he's done a much better job at DE than at LB.
As for Jones tackling technique, I don't think he's doing much wrong. You can argue either way, which one is better (in the face of the QB or a surprise attack from the blind-spot/back to knock him or the ball down). I do however find Jones to be a little slow off the line of scrimmage. I wish he had the speed of Clay Matthews or JJ Watt. Those guys just jump off the line with absolute speed and force. Jones appears to hesitate just a fraction of a second as if to see how the LT will take on him.
This.
I've also noticed that he hesitates a tad getting off the line but it seems that sometimes he does it purposely. Not to take anything away from him, I think he's great for a rookie and the best natural pass rusher we have. I think he just needs to improve his speed a little, give em time though, he's going to do some things.

Agreed
He's got the torque of a semitrailer, and speed.... ...of a semitrailer...

The only other possibility might be a rise in Deaderick's play, and more use in the rotational DT format.
In my opinion, those are the only 2 hopes that we have, and they aren't too high of hopes.
EDIT: Unless they put a call into G.Warren, and he can somehow offer some fresh reps and pressure down the stretch of the season + into the playoffs?
Well, if we had a shadow 54th man on this roster it'd be him for sure. We've done this with Warren seemingly the last few years. So it definitely wouldn't be a shocker if he comes back later in the year.
Oh, and wasn't Fanene's release due to injury?? Because if he ever got healthy...who knows??

Re: Just realized how much our front 7/pass rush has improved
It's unfortunate that for the past 4 seasons we haven't been able to put a DT of the appropriate caliber next to Wilfork We're one piece, an athletic interior rusher. away from having an incredibly dominant front four. I'm not saying we haven't tried, I'm just saying we haven't been able to :/
