Should we be done with Jones? Probably not. He has talent. Tiki Barber had some fumbling issues earlier in his career and it almost ended it. Then, one entire off season, he focused on learning to improve his grip on the ball, solved his fumbling problem, and moved on to a productive career. Perhaps Jones can do the same.

I don't know what Kelley needs to show to get more carries. Every time he is in, he runs hard & low. He always seems to fall forward and just keeps driving. He has broken long runs. I don't know what his blitz pick-up skills are like, but I don't know if Jones' are all that much better.

I know I don't make the big bucks, but, after that second fumble, I would walked over to Matt and said something to the effect of "Take the rest of the afternoon off" and gone with Kelley and Thompson the rest of the way. Fumbles are just too damn costly - as demonstrated by yesterday's loss.
