Watch Ninko - Now that's a fast guy off the line.

Between this and your posts in the 'Woe is us Gronk is hurt thread' you're really winning me over.

Hope that clears it up for you.

thanks for the clarification Sherlock, but I still think he could use some speed.

And for the same reason others have pointed out, I'm sure you'd say that about Randy Moss if you were here 5 years ago.

His ankle is what he had xrays on

Not news, but a read between the lines would seem to indicate a garden variety sprain he might have played on

Rookie defensive end Chandler Jones suffered an ankle injury yesterday, and it’s still unclear if he’ll miss any time.

Jones went down in the first quarter but walked to the sideline without a limp. The medical staff removed his cleat and re-taped his ankle, and he tried to walk it off before departing for the locker room for a presumed X-ray, which is standard operating procedure for cases like this.

Jones returned to the bench with heavy tape on the right ankle in the second quarter, and he had his helmet in hand, so it didn’t initially appear that his day was over. However, he didn’t return from the locker room after halftime, so the team knew the ankle was bad enough to keep him out for the rest of the day.

LOL... this is new. As recently as this summer, Ninkovich was regarded by some on this board as "the worst starter in the NFL".

I think Rob has silenced a lot of critics with his play the last few weeks. One thing worth considering: how much is his job made easier by the fact that Jones is collapsing the pocket from the other side, keeping the QB from rolling away from him?

I think the improvement in the pass rush is very much a product of (1) Jones is a stud, (2) the switch for 4-3, (3) Cunningham's tremendous improvement. To me, Ninkovich is what he's always been: reliable, versatile, consistently in the right position, seals the edge.
