I'm told the MRI on Trent Williams' left knee revealed no structural damage. Belief is that he might be able to play Sunday.

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.

I'm guessing Gruden is seeing some potential in Jones during trainings, things that he can do better than Kelley, I'd say mainly due to his size, and still wants to give him a chance to use that potential.
Plus Thompson is an effin' good RB, but lacks the size, clearly. And Kelley is a rookie, so maybe he also has ball security issues, or other issues he'll fix in time, but we don't see them because he's getting less carries...

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?

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.

Right? its so simple isn't it?

...I would continue to run Jones as the starter and work in more Kelly. Kelly looking like he is earning touches, but I wouldn't give up on Jones in the middle of the season.

Maybe work Kelly more as the redzone/goaline back and explain to Jones he has to earn that work back.

Thompson has clearly carve his niche.

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.

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.

Maybe he can touch it in silence?
