Whenever the possibility of adjusting overtime to guarantee the team that kicks off to start the process a chance to match or first-drive
touchdown
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey , plenty of fans shout, “Play defense!” They seem to be a vocal, but yet distinct, minority.A poll posted Friday on Twitter,
which drew 34,696 votes, had only 26-percent support for keeping the current
rule in place. The other 74 percent want the guaranteed possession for the
kicking team.Here’s the surprise: More than 70 percent of the people who favor
change want it for both the regular season and the postseason.As made clear
during the recent #PFTPM interview of Cowboys COO Stephen Jones (a member of the
Competition Committee), momentum clearly exists for a change to the overtime
rule, but it’s more likely that the revised rule would apply only to the
playoffs. And there’s good reason for that. Regular season games already are
long enough
Terrance Smith Jersey , and the reduced duration of overtime (two years ago, it was cut from 15 minutes to 10) would create a incentive for the team that wins
the toss to chew the clock, scoring a touchdown with as little time as possible
remaining for the kicking team to match.Besides, the consequences of a single
regular-season game pale in comparison to the consequences of a playoff game.
Sudden death would be fine for a regular-season game. But when the outcome of
overtime ends one team’s season and sends the other to the next round, a more
fair process is required.It looks like that more fair process is coming. And it
looks like most of you would be OK with that. Entering his fourth year with the
Chiefs, Jones is coming off his best season — but can he thrive in 2019?" Kansas

timeTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailAfter defensive end Frank Clark was
revealed last Tuesday night as 85th on their list of the Top 100 players of
2019, NFL.com hadn’t listed any more Kansas City Chiefs on their annual
list.That ended Sunday night
Khalen Saunders Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , when the league revealed the next group of 10 players.Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones made his debut on
the Top 100, coming in at 36th.As with all Top 100 picks, NFL.com produced a
cool highlight reel for Jones.Jones (surprisingly or not) reported to training
camp on Friday with the rest of the Chiefs veterans, thereby ending his boycott
of team activities while he and the team work out a an extension to his rookie
contract.“It was good to have him back,” said head coach Andy Reid on Saturday.
“He worked hard. He tested well this morning and then he came out and did this
well, so he’s been working.”But questions remain about how Jones will perform in
2019.A year ago, the defensive lineman made it clear that his goal for the 2018
season was to lead the NFL in sacks. But in December, then-defensive line coach
Britt Reid implied that Jones’ goal had gotten in the way of the team
effort.“There has to be an even balance there,” Reid said at the time. “You
can’t be rushing the passer on run downs. There’s no sacks on run downs. He has
gotten a lot better. Early in the season
Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , he was probably taking too many shots when he shouldn’t have been. Obviously, we weren’t stopping the run very well. Us
tightening that up — and him understanding you can’t get a sack every play — I
think that has helped him.”Jones acknowledged the conflict to reporters.“It’s
just more so about maturing throughout the season — realizing things you didn’t
realize early on, and you kind of realize now,” Jones said. “I just look at it
as the maturity and the coaching of coach Reid.”“There’s no pressure. If I get a
sack, I get a sack,” Jones added. “If I don’t, I don’t. I just try and make sure
I run the scheme of the defense, play hard for my teammates, and affect the
quarterback.”Will Jones — transitioning from playing as a 3-4 defensive end to a
4-3 defensive tackle in the scheme implemented by new defensive coordinator
Steve Spagnuolo and defensive line coach Brendan Daly — continue to be as
effective in 2019?For his part
Khalen Saunders Jersey Cheap , Jones doesn’t seem to be concerned about the change in scheme.“Whether its 3-4 or 4-3 or whatever I’m playing, I feel
like I can excel in it,” he told reporters on Sunday.“It’s very simple, it’s
very different,” he said. “A lot of running — but we have well-coached guys.
From the assistant guys to the head up, Spags and the way he goes about his
business trickles down to his assistants. It makes you commit even more to this
team knowing they are putting everything and all into making sure we come out
here and be better than we were yesterday.”Jones said he knew all along that
despite missing the voluntary and mandatory offseason programs, he would be
reporting to training camp on time, pointing out that his brand ambassadorships
for Mosaic Life Care and Special Olympics Kansas City are bigger than he is.“You
know it’s always important — especially when you have new coaches coming in,” he
said. “It’s always important to get in the building
Khalen Saunders Jersey Womens , get the new plays going, get a feel of the new coaches and what you’re getting into. It’s always important to be around new
teammates, you want to be around them.“It was tough,” Jones said of his holdout,
“but you know I felt like it was right at the time. I’m here now — and I’m
focused on getting better and winning that Super Bowl and dominating in this
league.”Chiefs in the NFL Top 100
