Buckweath Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Arguably the the top 2 interior defensive linemen in the game after Aaron Donald. Who do you think is better right now? I'm arguing with a fellow Chiefs fan who thinks Chris Jones was clearly better last year and I believe the opposite. I might be taking Jones moving forward as he is younger and might still be improving a bit but I do think Cox was better last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Fletcher Cox, with very little hesitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) I'm taking Chris Jones.. I haven't seen anyone as explosive as Aaron Donald than him.. Cox is great.. But Jones has elite potential to be an elite pass rusher and top 5 in that position.... But if i'm being honest I'm taking Buckner over both tbh.. What he does with zero help on that line is phenomenal. Dude is a scary guy. Edited May 22, 2019 by El ramster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakuvious Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Cox is definitely the more well-rounded player, though I'm not sure he's ever quite put up a season like Jones had last year in terms of disruption in the passing game. Not just in sacks, but batted passes as well. Made a huge difference against Indy in that regard. But I think the run D gap is bigger than the pass rush gap, so Cox by a little bit right now.

I’d argue Cox was more consistently disruptive last year in the passing game despite the sack numbers. Cox had 95 pressures to Jones 73, 34 qb hits to Jones 29, and a pressure rate of 11.4% compared to 9.4% for Jones. Cox played 830 snaps, Jones played 773. Jones deflections and that pick six were nice though. And he looks like a better finisher with the eye test and by the numbers. Got a sack on more than 1/5 pressures, that is insanely high.

One could say Cox is better at penetrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
