The Falcons sorely missed Deion Jones’ play-making ability on defense since his Week 1 injury against Philadelphia, but on par with his physical impact on the field is his knack for reading offenses and ensuring his defensive counterparts are in position to make consistent stops. Robbed of a full third season due to a broken foot, you don’t need a magnifying glass to see how toothless the defense has been in Deion’s absence. But an underrated and just-as-important aspect of Jones’ game is his capacity to communicate, and lapses in communication have plagued this defense through the entirety of Deion Jones’ stint on injured reserve.
