The problem with PFF's analytics is that they use them to conclude on what teams are losing when a player leaves. It's not wrong to say Alfred Morris and Jason Hatcher had value for us, it's just incomplete, because you have to consider what their replacements will do once they move into the starting lineup. Their analytics can't tell you that.

I personally don't see us losing anything by going from Morris to Jones. If Jones fumbles at the same rate he did last year, then problem. Otherwise, as he's drilling on it hard, no problem.

The DL I do have questions about, but our run defense sucked even with Knighton and Hatcher in there. PFF has no basis to conclude that rotating in Golston, Reyes, Ionnidis and Paea will be the same, worse, or better.
