Based on what you’ve seen thus far in camp and the preseason what are your expectations for C. Jones, Hightower, and J. Collins? I have aggressive expectations for all 3 of them personally, and I have outlined the what and why of mine below.
Jones has been ridiculously impressive; he has dominated his opponent on just about every play in both of the games this preseason. He has a different look to him this season; almost as if he views himself as a top tier player now and is fully confident that he cannot be stopped. Prior to the preseason I was projecting 10-12 sacks from Jones, based on what I have seen I’m increasing my expectation to 12-15, in addition I expect him to be one of the top 10 DE’s against the run.
Hightower also seems to have taken a step forward in year 2; his awareness and decision making seems to have improved, I expect him to put together a very nice year for a 4-3 outside linebacker with 80+ tackles, and 6-8 sacks.
I really love what I have seen from Jamie Collins this preseason, he has the speed and athletic ability to do so many different things on the field, I do not think he will be a starter unless there is an injury but I expect him to play major snaps and have a very impactful season with 50+ tackles, 4-5 sacks, 1-2 interceptions.
Please share your expectations
