32. What was the primary problem that showed up for the Arizona Cardinals in the playoffs? Well Carson Palmer was one, but the other was the consistent inability of the defensive front to put any sort of pressure on Cam Newton. Was it lack of talent, or age, or both? The only way to know is to attack the problem directly but adding another body to the rotation. Enter Bulldogs standout Chris Jones. <p>He reflects the traits of a 3-4 end: big, long, strong at the point of attack and quick off the snap to provide pass rush. His basketball background is a testament to how good an athlete he is. When motivated he can pretty much do whatever he wants on the field but can sometimes get lazy. There is no question though that Jones is only beginning to tap his vast talent.</p>. DE. Mississippi State. Chris Jones. 29. player
