“No mandate, nothing that I’m aware of that goes to the clubs. I think you got an area that gives rise to some judgment when you say that the players, the defender as well as the quarterback, land on the ground. If the defender happens to be in position…to push him against the ground,…the league does not want you to pin…let those 300 pounds or 250 or whatever go into the quarterback. That’s when you get your shoulders and your separations…even your rib injuries. I think that is, at this day and time, I think those are sensitive areas and you got to watch that.”, said Jones on the relationship.
