"...and that reason is to reorganize his sock drawer. I'm not sure why."

"The next time Revis or Scott run their mouth, they will earn a personal encounter with my brother."

Re: C.Jones : BB Picked Me For a Reason

Is it OK that my nickname for this guy is now Lil' Bones Jones?

Of course this is in reference to his brother, who is known as Bones Jones, not referring to his frame.

I prefer "Deacon Too" as his moniker, since THE Deacon Jones is his Gre' Gran' Pappy.

I don't believe it's true as 'Deacon' Jones real name was David D. Jones. Chandler Jones father is Arthur Jones, Jr. So, his father would be Arthur Jones, Sr.

So Chandler's brother would be Arthur Jones III or Arthur Jones Jr. Jr?

That would be Chandler's Grand dad, not his "Great" grand dad, which is what people are saying Deacon is. I'm not saying I know it to be true, but your reasoning is flawed.

My logic is dead on. I just didn't go back far enough. Anyhow, I can find nothing to insinuate that Deacon Jones is related to Arthur, Chandler and Jon Jones.

Re: C.Jones : BB Picked Me For a Reason

I am super excited about both of our first round picks, specifically Chandler Jones.

IMHO, he was the best defensive player in the draft and it was a crime that he fell so far. He will be a perfect fit in our defense due to his willingness to play in either 4-3 or 3-4, his arm length, and his explosiveness on the QB... and in front of his new buddy Hightower? Our defense is about to look very scary.

It's easy to forget that BB is actually a defensive-mastermind with all of the offensive successes our team has had lately, but I am sure he will be able to use both of these guys to their fullest extent.

Your logic would be dead on, if not for the fact you seemingly skipped over the part where people typed "great" before grand dad.... This is not important, but something like "my bad" or "oops" would make a lot more sense than your reply.
