I thought he got some helmet. It didn't appear to be intentional though. He was just trying to dislodge the ball.
I think the refs err on the side of safety.
I just rewatched it and think I found the reason for the call. IF you watch Jones he does look down/lower his head and never attempted to wrap up the receiver. He was clearly just trying to hit the Arky guy and knock the ball loose. He made no attempt to really tackle. I think if he would have went in with his arms extended it may have been a non-call. JMHO though.

Not not wrapping up is not a personal foul.
That's a lot of nots

This is what's important.
If you've been following this guy, he's (CJ) is highly competitive and not at all beligerant

I agree with this. The hit looked nasty at game speed, and apparently the rule calls for a penalty regardless of intent. I wouldn't call Jones a dirty player over this though
