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 don't say it about players but yeah. The man lead the NFL in fumbles as a back up last season and it doesn't seem to be getting better and his talent isn't enough to mask his troubles

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.

Typical absence for concussions is about 2 weeks, since this concussion protocol has gone into place. Reed has been out two weeks, Cravens just came back after a two week absence, and Reed's absence last year was two weeks.

There's no way Norman plays this week. Sucks, because he's the only one that has a shot against AJ Green. We'll need to plan to win a shoot out.

Yeah, I'm worried... This will be my first ever live NFL game, in Wembley, so I'm looking for reasons to hope... But without Norman to (get a chance to) lock Green down, this will be a tough one.

Re: Skins lions post game

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

Re: Skins lions post game

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.

Re: Skins lions post game

I would minimize Jones' carries and give the goal line stuff to Kelly. If Jones fumbles again he needs to be benched.

Re: Skins lions post game

I wouldnt do anything rash right now but I do not want Jones as our feature back next year.
Pretty sure we can do better.

I'm over this game. I think everyone else should be also. On to London!

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said there's a chance they'll give a little more work to Rob Kelley in lieu of Matt Jones fumble issues. Gruden said he liked how many touches Chris Thompson had yesterday. But Gruden said, "we're not giving up on Matt Jones. We just have to make sure he protects the dang ball

Per Jay 3oclock.

Definitely too early to give up on him, but he has to be on a very short leash. The 3 back rotation seems to be working anyway. We don't have a true bell cow.

I don't think them bringing in other RBs for a look is a coincidence.
