The Washington Redskins seemed confident this offseason that Matt Jones was worthy of replacing veteran Alfred Morris for the feature running back position. The performance of rookie Robert Kelley has given the Redskins a different perspective. Jones had the reigns on the starting job. It was his to lose, and well; he lost it.
Through 7 games this season Jones complied 460 rushing yards on 99 attempts (good for an average of 4.6 yards per carry). He accounted for 3 rushing touchdowns. However, Jones had some issues, and his biggest flaw was ball security.
