Jones could have caught it, IF he had set up to take the ball in foul territory.


I'm sure the guy running straight at him had something to do with him not fully extending.

It was catchable if Jones adjusts better, but I'm not sure he could without getting destroyed.

You just made my point. Had he set up with his right foot on the bag he would have been able to stretch and catch the ball inside the field of play before it ever reached the foul line. The only time the runner became an issue on the catch was when Jones" only play was across the bag into foul territory because of wher he set up to begin with.
