Jelani Roberts and Christian Jones need to get the ball more often!

Once Roberts turns the corner he is great. Last week he couldn't turn the corner. maybe with a running start on a kickoff he would be better.

The problem with Roberts as I see it is that when he is in the game, it's either obvious that he will get the ball or due to his size, he is not a great blocker.

I believe there was at least one play where the faked the jet sweep to Roberts and went the other way, which at least should minimize his need for good blocking, but yes, there's not a lot he can do without the ball right now. But boy is he fast.

I'm pretty happy with our kick returning on the year. Not sure why anyone would suggest changing our return man.
