Extra Points: 5 takeaways from the Jaguars' loss to the Jets

WHAT TO DO WITH MARSHALL?

Even when he was showing good form on kick returns Sunday — plays of 30, 23 and 33 yards — there was always a Cover Your Eyes Feel with Jaguars rookie Nick Marshall. Yes, he was gaining yards. But yes, he was on the cusp of fumbling. The almost-expected fumble occurred at a terrible time. After the Jaguars forced a three-and-out with four minutes remaining, Marshall fumbled a punt the Jets recovered at the Jaguars’ 25. The Jets made it 27-16 three plays later. In that situation — close game, late — the Jaguars should have put Bryan Walters back there because of his experience securing the punt.
