Buccaneer Ronald Jones II set for Break-Out 2020 Season
By JD Stenger
He’s the kind of back that can take over a game like he did in week 17 agaisnt Atlanta when he averaged almost 10 yards a carry, racking up 106 yards with almost all of it coming in the second half.
If this Bucs team upgrades the offensive line, and commits just a handful more carries to his usual game total. He could flourish, and take some weight off of Quarterback Jameis Winston‘s shoulders. There is no need for Winston to have to do it all with a back like Jones in our stable.
I’m sure that most of his doubters are from Missouri (the “show me state”). So don’t any of you blink in 2020, you might just miss Ronald Jones taking it to the house. I have a feeling there is going to be a good number of those.
If you compare Jones numbers from this past season(which for all practical purposes was his rookie year) with the Titan’s Derrick Henry. You will find they are almost identical. While Jones isn’t the same kind of back as Henry, he is a beast waiting to be set loose on opposing defenses all the same.
At this point in his career, just like Henry, all Jones needs is more carries to prove his worth. Let’s hope the Bucs give them to him, and don’t waste such talent. I’m sure some of you are shaking your head right now thinking, “this cat is crazy”. If the Bucs do what’s necessary to give Jones the ability to succeed. He will do it in a very big way. That I’m sure of, you will be too come next season.
