Is Christion Jones the returner we've been looking for?

No one expects him to do what he did a few weeks ago. Is he an electric returner or was that a one game thing?

He's what we've been looking for. He looks bigger, faster, and even quicker. He had some good blocks sure, but every good return man does.

Has he really done anything outside of the VT game? I know some people on here where calling for a change in the kick and punt return game this off-season. I tend to believe he got very lucky in ATL, but can still be a useful return man for us. I don't think fans should start expecting big plays from him on the regular.

Somewhere in the middle. I think he's a good return man, not ready to label him "electric" quite yet.

He had a problem with fumbling and bad decision making last year. Both are fixable.

I'm still not sold. The blocking looked really good and VT just didn't tackle him on that KO return.

I was really high on him going into last year, but he just didn't do much. I mean, he's a "good", solid player, but I don't expect him to really stand out. I don't think he's shifty enough for punt returns and I don't think he's fast enough for kick returns.

Maybe I'm wrong. He did well in the first game.

Is this the same guy who seemingly muffed every punt, or was that the other Jones?

He's better than Brandon Brooks but he isn't in the same stratosphere as javy.

Arenas was electric. He was more likely to gain 25 yards without being touched than anyone we've had. Christion breaks tackles like javy but is more on cut and go than make you miss.

Anybody else see the punt return where he ran like 10 yards backwards? That is never a good thing.
