Cowboys Point/Couterpoint: Was using Byron Jones as a safety a huge mistake, or a necessity at the time?

While the Dallas Cowboys have had some struggles at times, one player that has been nothing but excellent all season is cornerback Byron Jones.

What is somewhat amazing is that he was a safety his first three years in the league. Now, under new passing game coordinator/defensive backs coach Kris Richard, he has been moved to his best position. Given the way he is playing as a corner, you have to ask the question: What in the world were the Cowboys thinking when they made him a safety? Our own Tom Ryle and Michael Strawn have some thoughts on that.
