Fall camp mailbag: Moving on after bad news
North Carolina v Notre DameSo the Irish received their first bit of bad news in the 2015 season. Defensive tackle Jarron Jones is lost for the year and the Notre Dame defense will need to collectively replace Jones’ sizable place in the middle of the Irish defense.
I’ll start this mailbag off with a question I’ve seen thrown around the web the past few days:
On a scale of 1-to-10, how badly does Jarron Jones’ injury hurt Notre Dame’s defense?
I’m going to put it at a six out of 10. As I look at the defense, here are the player, in order, that the Irish can’t afford to lose. And as you can see, for as good as Jones could be, I don’t think he’s at the top of the list.
