Skins lions post game

double post sorry

So we should just be done with Jones?

I would start Kelley for the next few weeks at least to see what he can do. As of right now, no way we start next season with the same 3 backs. Jones or Kelley won't be on the team next year IMHO.

My bigger thing is, if you set the fumble issue aside for a second, I don't see a major difference between Jones and Kelley. Jones is bigger but he doesn't always run like it, he still dances too much and doesn't always get low enough. When he does he looks pretty good, but he's too inconsistent with it.

I don't think Kelley gives you the ability to run guys over, but he's going to be decisive going into the hole. I would start Kelley.

This is how I feel too. I mean I think Jones might be a bit faster, but they almost seem like clones to me (dreadlocks aside). Kelley DOES hit the hole faster. I just think Kelley should start getting the bulk of the carries and see how it goes.

So we should just be done with Jones?

He should not be aloud to touch the ball. And released if we need the roster spot. He has cost us more than one game fumbling.

Glad to hear the news on Trent

When do the Redskins need to leave for London? Given this, I wonder if JNo has any shot at playing next week. I know it is a toss up with concussions, I just feel that the trip to London will add another degree of difficulty.

Kelly is faster than Jones, I think that is pretty obvious, and he runs harder.

Jay is a players coach and that's a good thing sometimes and that's y he wants Jones to start because he shows faith and trust

Players coaches generally don't win. Disciplined coaches do. I'd rather a Belichick, Parcells, Johnson type of coach than a Gruden, Dungy, Ryan. Being a players coach doesn't cut it. This is about winning. If it means a man loses his job then so be it. He's being paid to do a job. If he can't do it, find somebody who can. It's obvious that Jones can't do the job.

Gruden has given Jones enough time and patience. It's time to turn the page. Gruden's job and our wins depend on it.

So we should just be done with Jones?

I would make him inactive the next two games and then give him his final chance. If he fumbles again, he's done. A message needs to be sent. Do your job or find another one. Period.

I would move on, but probably not til after the season.

And this is why fans are fans...lol. You can't just cut the guy after the season. He's still a good football player. Do you remember Tiki Barber? He had the same issues and cured them. Not comparing the two, they're different runners, but Jones can fix this.

I think the question regarding Jones is should he continue to be the starter? I say he should be but you get Kelly in there a little more, and keep mixing in Thompson. Thompson to me is clearly our best RB but he obviously isn't built to carry the load.

Tiki didn't cure them, he just minimized them the last 2 years of his career. For most of it, he fumbled a lot. That said, He was also producing 1,000+ yards each season as well, so it's hard to compare Jones to Tiki.

Jones is currently fumbling 1 time for every 30 carries.
