'16 FL RB Tony Jones Jr. (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[bkess8]

Wish they would give him the ball so see can see what can do.

 

[irish o'phile]

I was looking at his game stats, and they are weird. One game he will have 3 carries for 10-15 yards, and the next he will have 15 for 105. It seems to alternate.

 

[GUknights75]

Scored on a 2 yard Run untouched

 

[NDPhilly]

Legit broke 10 tackles on a 60 yard touchdown run against Paramus. Holy Shit

 

[GUknights75]

Just had a nasty 59 yard TD run broke maybe 5 tackles...siiick

 

[#1rish]

Holy shit what a TD run by Jones. Like that the commentators know a lot about the RB depth chart at ND.

Just tuned in right when the handed the ball off to him too haha

 

[#1rish]

Harbaugh is at the game. Wow his wife is a smoke.

 

[Wild Bill]

Harbaugh is at the game. Wow his wife is a smoke.

Probably fell in love with his sparkling personality.

Nickname "Trailer?" I like it. The Bus was always my favorite:

Swear the bus has the worlds biggest naturally large shoulders. Saw him at the ND vs Butler NCAA tournament game in Pittsburgh and he is literally a square it's nuts. Dont know how you could bring him down except dive at the legs and hope for the best

So, what was Jones stat line tonight? Also, anyone find a video of that long TD run?

Thx Canada!!!

Jones was doing work in pass pro last night. He was straight killing kids and attacking Gary. It will be fun to see him develop as he has almost no upper body right now. Get him in the college weight program and you are going to see him get more explosive and a lot stronger.

Sidenote: Bettis was not at the IMG game last night. Not sure why Hickey tweeted that, but the pic is from the Sound Mind Sound Body camp this summer.

Because she didn't even bother to read the tweet she was retweeting.

Now that was running!

Someone else mentioned it earlier, and I think it is the most cogent point about Tony that I have heard. As good as he is, this is a kid that is going to explode when he gets into ND's weight program, and he gets some speed coaching. On that run you saw plenty of wasted motion in his stride; he is bleeding off power during the whole run.

I believe some analogy exists between Tony and Will Fuller. No, I am not saying Tony will ever be that fast. But last week we watched Will outrun a kid that was arguably the fastest DB on the west coast. (As he outran the whole SC defensive backfield!) Which isn't bad for a kid who was too slow out of high school to be rated a four star!

I think the mods need to update the thread title to:
Tony "Trailer" Jones Jr.

b00m! Definitely deserves it.

 

[beryirish]

so he got his star back, right? Didn't they drop him earlier on?

They did, right after the opening.

Slashin' and dashin' with a whole lotta power

He is still a 3 star on 247 proper. One of the other sites must have raised his ranking, which brought him back above the composite 4 star mark. But whatever, it means nothing. Judge for yourself:

Kid looks legit. Great vision and balance and he almost never went down on first contact.

I love the run at 1:28, the guy on the corner thinks he's going to come up to make the play...


I really like TJJr's running style. He may not be a home run threat every week but he stays low and keeps moving forward. He really reminds me of Folston in that regard.

 

[BeauBenken]

IMG's blocking looks terribly unimpressive for how stacked that team is supposed to be. Jones is constantly left making the play himself. I'm not worried about his ranking; the kid is my kinda back.
