He had 4 fumbles this year on PR and only lost one. 2007 saw him at 2 fumbles and 2 losses.

It seems like alot, but with the ammount of returns he had and the production he was able get out of them it still makes him one of the better PR in the league, even with the PR.

I wonder if he hasnt had more off the field issues than the DUI, that we havent heard of.

I don't think a muff is counted as a fumble... it's in its own category, i believe.

He might have only had four official fumbles, but how many terrible decisions did he make? How many times did he a juggle a punt or muff the ball that didn't go down as an official fumble? It's gotten so bad that our section has a little ceremony/prayer before each punt at the home games based pleading for him to catch the ball.

He's been left in the dust behind David Anderson on the depth chart. I would like to see him get one more year to try and get it together, especially after the year Dre Davis had, as our deep threat. If they can get a decent pick for him though it's worth considering.

When your only skill is returning Punts, you better be able to catch them after two years in the NFL. He is behind David Anderson and does not see the field at WR, and he is no good as a KR. He also does not play coverage.

If you are going to have a guy for return reasons only, he better be able to do both kicks and punts, and not turn it over.

my last memory of Jacoby Jones is the punt hitting him in the facemask and ricocheting about 20 yards back the other way
