Doc Walker seemed impressed by what he saw, he described a back that hit the hole hard with square shoulders trying to run thru people. The kind of guy that would get yardage in the 4th quarter. I don't see that kind of back in Jones. now you get Jones on the outside with nothing but a corner to slow him and he'll scare the *sh$t* out of the other coach. Its the getting him there is the problem. He'd make a serious 3rd down specialist if we can find somebody to do the meatwork.
I've been a Kelley guy since they signed him but he only got three carries the last game. They need to give him more than that.
I guess Marshall is the guy they used a pick on, so they seem determined to give him the opportunity. But Kelly seems to be the guy that's getting a lot of praise from Gruden right now. I expect we'll see a heavy dose of both players in this next game.
I hope it's a little more balanced. Marshall got ten carries to Kelley's three. I think when Jones went out they wanted to see if Marshall could be the primary back. That failed miserably. Maybe Kelley gets his shot this week. They already know Thompson isn't built for 20 carries a game.
