I don’t know that the scheme was holding him back as much as the scheme asked more of him for the sake of team defense. There isn’t something broken in a scheme that lessens individual statistics for the betterment of overall team defense.I’m with you and would’ve kept Jones for at least his contract year. The Dolphins have shown you could break the rules and “Franchise Tag” a player you have no intention of signing long term and trade him for more than if you just let him walk. I used to think Jones disappeared late in the season, but I’m starting to lean more towards scheme that was holding him back. How does he go to a team with a losing record but lead the NFL in sacks?
And he did disappear late in the season. The scheme didn’t change late in the season.
