 Alright everybody, how are we? What is going on? Welcome back to another episode of Not Making Gains, what am I talking about? Welcome back to the NFL's top 100 of 2019. We're at number 97, which means we've only done three. We've got 97 to go. His name is Byron Jones. He's a cornerback for the Cowboys with the big star. We all know the Cowboys uniform, and I'd love to go to a Cowboys game actually inside that dome. Do they call it the dome? Let me have a look. It's an amazing stadium, isn't it? Cowboys Stadium, AT&T Stadium. Look at that fucking thing, and it's got a roof over it, doesn't it? AT&T Stadium is a retractable roof stadium in Arlington, Texas. It serves as the home of the Dallas Cowboys and was completed on May 27th, 2009. Look at this damn thing. So it played host to the All-Star weekend for the NBA in 2010. That might have been why it was built, possibly. But we're not going to find out. 105,000 people. The record attendance for an NFL game was set in 2009 with a crowd of 105,121. It seats 80,000, making it the fourth-largest stadium in the NFL. But the maximum capacity with standing room is 105,000. Holy fucking shit. Byron Jones, you're a lucky bastard. He went from safety, now playing cornerback, and making plays, and actually made it to the Pro Bowl his first time playing cornerback. I think for me, that made me understand, like, okay, you can be something special, man, you got to keep it going. Okay. I'd have to say cornerback is the easier position than safety, right? Because safety, you're going to be covering field, whereas cornerback, you're most probably going to be covering a man. Is that, is that, is that right? Let's see. I mean, that's a big change. I mean, those are two completely different positions. People don't honestly know how hard it is to transition from playing safety to just being on the island, playing corner against some of the best receivers in this league. Being on the island, playing corner. What does that mean? Playing cornerback on the island. It's often said that the cornerbacks are on an island with their receiver. Okay, every great cornerback should be skilled in both forms of defensive coverage, press coverage and man-to-man coverage. These two techniques give corners their defensive edge, allowing them to block the receiver from catching a ball, but in each, the cornerback must be careful to not get a pass interference, caught on the play. Correct. Man-to-man coverage is arguably the most difficult technique to do successfully on the field, and corners play man-to-man more than anyone else, so it's hard. It's often said that cornerbacks are on an island with their receiver, because wherever the widest receiver lines up is also where the corner usually lines up. The wide receiver always has the advantage, because he gets to make the first move and knows where the ball is headed. That's exactly right. Man-to-man is easy to understand, but hard to do well. Find your man, cover your man, and don't let him catch the ball. Alright, Byron. That's off to him. Let's go. Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones isn't exactly a household name, yet. But in 2019, he found himself one-on-one with NFL Elite. And that's the kind of play that Byron Jones has been leading the Cowboys to expect all year. Byron Jones been a lead for maybe four years now, who haven't got a chance to be in that top 100 list, but that's someone who definitely deserves it. For a person who can change positions and do it as well as he's been doing this year, he definitely deserves to be in that top 100 list. Vocal with his team, I would say, communicates very well. Those players, you know, juice up their whole team. Good physical corner, tall corner, long arms. Tall corner, eh? Let's have a look. Let's get some stats on the man. Byron Jones, 6'1", my height, 185, 200 pounds, 91 kilos. Pick number 27, my lucky number. Round number one, 2015 draft. He's been at the Cowboys the whole time. He was selected to the Pro Bowl last year. Wow, that sounds like hyperbole. Actually not. 12'3". That's incredible. Okay, that's why he's a good corner. Man, that's just unbelievable. Hang on, let me see this shit. Did it say that? Holy moly. 22.13 seconds in the 200, 48 seconds in the 400 meters. He set a new combine and world record for standing broad jump by leaping 12 feet 3 inches. Oh, that's just disgusting. 4.43 for the 40-yard dash. Vertical with 44.5 inches. 18 reps on the bench. Holy fuck, guys. He's destroyed to understand the value of a true shutdown corner. That was the only game where I wasn't going to, and that kind of like accelerated, okay, this guy can be a really good corner. Yeah, you can. Got the speed, got the hops, that's for sure. I'm taking a part of the field away for the team. No receiver can get away from a man. The defensive guys appreciated that. They're not fast enough, they can't jump high enough. That's what football is about. I didn't hear that. It's a big benefit to the defense, and the defensive guys appreciated that. You know, get a slap on the back from the guys up front because they may not keep it up. That's what football is about. We run, we hit, and we stay on top. So we don't give up. Watch him up top. See, and it's not just jumping in the air. It's broad, right? It's broad jump. Him flying out, you know, breaking off a pass. He could probably jump from this side of the room to the other in about one second. But he kangaroo. He's like a gazelle. What are those legs made of? He's just always getting a hand there, right? He'd be so frustrating as a receiver. Damn, man. Those are some unbelievable stats, that's for sure. All right, guys. That was number 97, Byron Jones, cornerback for the Cowboys. In the next video, our fifth for the day, we're going to be looking at Carson Wentz. Quarterback for the Eagles, who went down. He went down late last year. And then I don't believe he played last season. Is that right? I'm not sure. I'm going to check that. But what I do know is that, believe it or not, I've actually got my own little Carson Wentz around here somewhere. Where are you, man? Must have left it at home. Damn. Anyways, let's crack into it. Number 96, Carson Wentz. I will see you guys very shortly. Have a great day and peace out.
