The Facts: Asked if the soon to be 30-year-old Jones-Drew still has something left after he was used primarily as a backup during his first season with the Raiders: “He thinks he does. We’ve talked about it. That’s something we need to find out. He feels healthy. The first thing will be to make sure to keep his weight where it needs to be ... so that he can be explosive again.”
Diehards Line:
As Profootballtalk.com put it: "For Jones-Drew, the spirit may be willing, but the flesh may be incapable of complying. It looks like Jones-Drew will get a chance to prove that he still has it, but Del Rio likely won’t be giving Jones-Drew or anyone else any special considerations. ..." Nobody should have great expectations here.
