Just three weeks into his Seattle Seahawks career, linebacker Ernest Jones IV is stepping into an even bigger role against a must-win in-division game.
In this case, it’s not the worst problem to have. Ernest Jones IV was a trade target for the Seahawks for a reason, and he may be one of the highest-paid linebackers in the NFL after this season. Through two games with Seattle, he has been an upgrade over Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker — the two players signed this offseason to replace Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks.
Most notably, Jones has aided Seattle’s struggling run defense, helping limit the Los Angeles Rams — his former team — to 68 rushing yards in Week 9. The entire team appeared more prepared defensively in that game, but Jones’ physicality and instincts in that area were apparent.set to be the team’s starters for the foreseeable future.
Even though Jones was previously in the division while playing for the Rams, he’s only played against the Niners five times in his 3.5-year career, including the 2021 NFC Championship game that led to the Rams’ Super Bowl LVI victory. In total, Jones has 31 tackles in five games versus the Niners. Though none of his stat totals have been flashy, he was steadily productive while anchoring the middle of Los Angeles’ defense. Seattle now needs him to do the same on Sunday.
