I know...the fumbles.

But I think he'd be electric returning kicks.

I agree, he could be dynamic on returns.

But we do have a proven commodity in Jones.

One of the most exciting players in the country ....Cyrus is a hell of a returner as well .Both are better than C.Jones imo .

Christion Jones can field kicks, and now can't catch passes

Me too. Good things happen when Drake has the ball in his hands (and keeps it there )

I might be the only one here who doesn't like Ch. Jones as a returner. Not nearly as explosive as a few others on the team, and dances too much.

Feel like his big returns are a product of either blocking or just plays where he does something usually out of character for his skill set. Talking about the crazy tackle he broke last year when he took it to the house.

And after he fields the kick he runs east west for nine hours. CJ! c'moooon maaaaaaan.

In 2012 he appeared to have taken over the punt return duty until he had that terrible fumble in the LSU game. And that was that.

I'm all for getting Drake the ball more.

i'd love to see sylve get a shot. his hs film shows great skill with the ball in his hands. if i remember right, we've got several kids that would be great returners. like stewart, lc, ah sheesh, its early and i havent had coffee yet. but y'all get the meaning.

I've never been a big fan. I think he's solid, but not a difference maker.

I think Drake would be excellent on Kickoffs.

I think I prefer the ball security that CJ brings.


Our offense is good enough to score on anyone without needing to house kicks, and CJ has proven he can do that too.

That's kind of a weird mentality. We ALWAYS wanna house kicks.

This isn't a knock on CJ, and I really wasnt even implying that we should take him off the field. We have two guys back there, no? Put Drake back there as the other guy. White is kind of injury prone anyway, I think we can afford to replace him with Drake.

Yeah especially considering depth issues, I'd rather see Drake back there with CJ than LC or White
