Chandler Jones talks offseason training, Dominique Easley & Will Smith

Answering questions like a boss.

Chandler Jones has been putting in the work this offseason. Last offseason he focused on his upper body, working out with his brother (Jon Jones), getting his hands and upper strength ready for football.

Now Jones is focusing on his lower body:

"I’ve been trying to focus on my lower-body strength so it can help with my pass rush and run-stopping ability a little bit. It’s going well.

I feel like if I can get my legs stronger to get it equal with my upper body, I feel like I’ll be more proportionate and it will help my game a lot. Without your legs, you’re not anything, so I’ve been focusing on my lower body.”

Jones hopes this focus on his lower body will help his quickness up and down the line and increase is bull rush. Already tailing 11.5 sacks last year, I’m excited to see what he’ll be able to put together this upcoming year.

Not only will Jones be better and stronger next year, but he’ll also have two new teammates with him on the line, both of whom he has spoke highly of:

Chandler Jones spoke pretty glowingly of Easley. Said he’s impressed by his tape.

Chandler Jones on Will Smith: "Being a DE, the thing you look at is pass-rush ability. That’s what u get paid for. He’s a great pass rusher”

I’ve been watching Easley tape like a teenage girl watching Twilight. I’m addicted. I can not wait to see this kid in a Patriots jersey. Will Smith could be a great addition as well, but I’m focused on our first round pick. He is going to be good.

With Chanldaaaaa, Easley, Big baby Vince, T-Kelly, Nink the Think, and the Fresh Prince all on the line, we could have a formidable front line on our hands. It needs to be football season now.
