Ask Dre’Mont Jones about sacks, and he lights up.
“That’s my top priority. I put damn near my whole focus into it. That’s all I train for,” said Jones, who had a career-high seven sacks last season with the Titans and Ravens. “I don’t have to really train for the run, because that’s second nature. But when it comes to the pass rush, I’m always trying to hone in, watch extra film, doing what I can.
“I feel like I’ve done a good job with the pass rush the last few years. My sack numbers were pretty good last year. My QB hits [career-high 24] were great. This year, I want to turn those QB hits into sacks.”
That’s good news for a Patriots team that had 35 sacks last year (only six teams had fewer).
