RB1 typically isn’t your main kick returner.

It’s clear they are carving out a different role for him.

I wonder how he feels about it -- i.e., whether he views it as a demotion. Playing time is earned, and he has to understand that the team needs to make use of him in ways that is less likely to lead to fumbles (getting him the ball in space and away from D-linemen who are the ones forcing fumbles). I just hope he has a good attitude about all this and wants to focus on whatever he can do to help the team. Based on what I have read about him, that's what I'd expect.

So now when Gibson fumbles it’s in the opponents side of field..😳…I hope this ends well.

I don't see it ending well. EVERYONE knows he has a fumbling issue...so I don't care if it's between the tackles or out in the open, the first person that touches Gibson is banging on his arm/or ball trying to punch it out...and it's only going to take ONE fumble as a kick returner, and it's real hard to see that NOT happening....and he'll hardly ever see the field again. I hope the best for him, but the cards are stacked against him it seems.

I think you're being overly pessimistic about AG. He is way too talented to be on the bench.
