September 10, 201311 yr comment_20743 Glad to see some of Ken Moll's scouting work being brought in. Not having to battle with .....
September 10, 201311 yr comment_20756 Foreshadowing an announcement that Simpson is out for a lot longer than expected?
September 10, 201311 yr comment_20759 This guy return kicks at all? Could they be looking for a woods replacement?
September 10, 201311 yr comment_20762 This guy return kicks at all? Could they be looking for a woods replacement? I hope they are looking for a Woods replacement....at least until Woods comes back. I know Will Ford brought that kick back for a TD...but he's no Aaron Woods.

I know Will Ford brought that kick back for a TD...but he's no Aaron Woods. ford doesn't even do punt returns if I'm not mistaken. That's all on Johnson and sometimes Washington.

Yeah, could someone explain that one to me please? Is it just too much work for him?

Having that back there on punts would terrify me.
September 10, 201311 yr comment_20776 Again, people need to understand that returning kickoffs and returning punts are two very different things...very different skill sets.
September 10, 201311 yr comment_20777 Again, people need to understand that returning kickoffs and returning punts are two very different things...very different skill sets. One that JJ sucks at doing yet still does.
September 10, 201311 yr comment_20779 I'd like to see Volny start if Simpson is out. IMO he's a better every down back than Ford, and he can block. Ford is a speed guy.
September 10, 201311 yr comment_20789 Ford had a 2.9 yard average in the Banjo Bowl. I liked that we used Volny at the beginning of the game, not sure why we never went back to him.
September 12, 201311 yr comment_21059 Again, people need to understand that returning kickoffs and returning punts are two very different things...very different skill sets. One that JJ sucks at doing yet still does. I think JJ fields punts just fine. If you look back at his work from previous years, he's come up with big kick returns when the team needs it. He's smart, catches the ball in the air, and doesn't put himself in a position of taking a huge hit/getting injured.
September 12, 201311 yr comment_21061 You would have a point 3 years ago. Currently jovon is too slow to be a threat on returns. Now he turtles half the time and fumbles every time he gives an extra effort.
September 12, 201311 yr comment_21062 I'm not sure how my post was taken as I thought Will Ford did punt returns...but okay. Was just saying that even though we had players in place that did a decent job, and even scored a TD on a kick, Woods is that much more of a threat in both aspects (punt and kick returns).
September 12, 201311 yr comment_21067 Johnson's okay. I'd like to see Washington get a little more work there though.
September 12, 201311 yr Author comment_21069 Blows my mind that they won't let Washington return punts, especially when Jovon doesn't exactly scream ball security either.
September 12, 201311 yr comment_21075 Blows my mind that they won't let Washington return punts, especially when Jovon doesn't exactly scream ball security either. Yes exactly my point. JJ drops that ball way too often and barely gets any yardage. I'm thinking he's waiting for that NFL fair catch rule to come into existence in the CFL or something so he can use that instead of running.
September 13, 201311 yr comment_21244 I'd like to see Volny start if Simpson is out. IMO he's a better every down back than Ford, and he can block. Ford is a speed guy. IIRC Volny has fumbled at least once in every game where he's gotten significant carries.
September 13, 201311 yr comment_21245 Jovon's specialty is catching the ball and either falling down or diving forward right away for a gain of two. He reminds me of the VERY over-the-hill AJIII his last trip here.
September 13, 201311 yr comment_21248 No love for Jovon on punt returns it seems. Jovon currently sits smack dab in the middle of the pack in punt returns in the league. An 8.4 avg. Over a full yard less than Aaron Woods @ 9.5 Over a full yard more than Chad Owens @ 7.1 I don't agree he has ball security issues as he has demonstrated year after year of having capable hands. For my eyes, Jovon picks his spots, if it's open he'll go, if not he does go down. Last game when he struggled to get extra yards, the ball was stripped....not a good thing, but really, that is rare. I too, would like to see Washington back there accepting punts, but don't forget, last year, it was Washington who had trouble fielding punts and was removed from that duty. He seems fine on kickoff returns, however. Woods was going to be the guy, but he can't do much when he's injured.
September 13, 201311 yr comment_21250 Didn't Johnson fumble like three times in the first two games? I know he had two in Montreal...
September 13, 201311 yr comment_21252 Didn't Johnson fumble like three times in the first two games? I know he had two in Montreal... Are you asking? We played Montreal in the first two games and I can only find one JJ fumble.
