Do you want him to return Kicks?

Also How many touches do you want Garrett to give him on offense?

I say 10 touches on O and see how he handles it to start off with.

Depends on if he's fully healthy or not. I don't have a lot of confidence in our training staff right now.

Newman hurt. Comes back. Gets hurt "again".

Kosier hurt. Comes back. Gets hurt "Again" (and I said it was dumb to play him that soon, but what the hell do I know?)

Roy Williams hurt. Comes back. Gets hurt "Again".

Pretty sure there was 1 or 2 more this season.


Whenever Felix is deemed "Ready to play" I'd sit him another week or two just to be safe.

When is Felix due back? After the bye? When he gets healthy he needs all the touches he can get. That includes catches and kick returns. He scores anyway he wants.

Interesting thought on Jone's injury, a lot of the time hamstrings get injured when they are cold, as most know. So, the more he is in the game the less chance he has of injuring the hamstring...

Hamstrings also get hurt when players aren't hydrated enough.

He needs to make sure he's drinking plenty of water throughout the day (Before AND after practice) to avoid injuries like this.

He just needs to look at an all pro veteran (Zach Thomas) carrying around that 1 gallon jug of water everywhere he goes and do the same.

I wouldn't mind that one bit.

Provided he's healthy and doesn't look rusty, yes. He's good at them and is just too much of a weapon in general to not give him as many touches as possible.

Also How many touches do you want Garrett to give him on offense?

10-15

I'd like to see him used more in the passing game...try to get him matched up with a LB in pass coverage and get some huge gains.

I'd like to see a healthy Felix Jones get 10-15 touches per game. If that means you need to get him some touches in the return game, you better. Truth is, he's the best KR on the team.
