Do not know about you guys with Bradshaw injuries/MRI so quiet what are options at RB

[RoanokeFan]

I think I disagree. Jernigan was trusted enough last season to handle kickoffs in the Super Bowl and did well. Coughlin said this week they had been working with JJ to insert him as the up man on kickoffs and JJ got his chance and ripped off a 60 yard return with great acceleration good moves and vision. If Wilson is removed from Kick return duties I see JJ going back there. Having your #3 returning kickoffs and punts who has had a bit of an injury history sounds like a gamble, especially when no other #3 has really established themselves at the wideout position.

Hixon returned punts against The Saints and was the # 3. He's done it before. The ST Coordinator is the one to disagree with.

Hixon isn't what he was three years ago. Wilson leads the league in return yardage.

Hixon is able. He's not Wilson. This is about who to use when Wilson doesn't return. The ST Coordinator said they were working with Hixon if Wilson was going to get more offensive snaps. l think Wilson has arrived. We'll see on Sunday.

No, it's about the return team sustaining a drop-off in production. That's all I said.

[fizzlesticks]

Why would he need to stop doing returns? There's plenty of other RBs that do both.

And I don't think there will be a "massive " drop off.

I agree with this. I think Jernigan has the speed and shiftiness to make big plays and Hixon is too important to the passing game right now. Especially with Nicks banged up.

#3 wr might be the most important piece for making our offense go. Bradshaw will be ready playoff time, but we need him against good defenses now to even get in. He's proven.

Now, more than ever... #FreeJacobs.

Wilson would still start if Bradshaw is out, but Jacobs would do better than Pumpkin or Torain...

LOL

With Bradshaw hurt, they won't risk it since no other RB has taken a handoff.

[joemorrisforprez]

I didn't think it was that serious, but who knows.
