1. Antonio Brown - I am by no means giving up on him, so here is my proposal: FOR THE JETS GAME ONLY - Put Nate Clements on punt returns and put him with Brown on kick returns. Even if Clements breaks 2 for TDs it is only for one game because he is to valuable a CB to risk out there for the rest of the season. Putting Clements in there will help in a few ways: It will send a message to Antonio Brown that there other players on this team that are capapble of returning kicks. Your job is not safe. It will also prove that a returner does not need great blocking all the time to be effective. Moves, feel and instict are just as important as speed. Look at Dante Halls last return. Speed had little to do with the success of that run. Also, if he is willing, he can learn a few things from Clements. Although Coleman and McGee looked promising in the preseason as return guys, I would rather try the Clements idea first, letting Brown play for a stretch after the Jets game to try and prove himself. If his game has not changed by about week 10 or so, I say try McGee and/or Coleman. I just think Putting Coleman and/or McGee in right now would damage his confidence and make him bitter. He needs a tutor, not a replacement (yet).
2. Josh Reed I am a big Josh Reed fan and I think he will eventually be a solid #2, but as of right now he needs to be completely benched for one game. Do not even have him play a down.
Depth Chart for Jets game:
Moulds
Shaw
Coleman
Aiken
Brown
unless Coleman or Aiken have a breakout game, ease him back into the depth for the Washington game at #3. This is where he thrived last year. if he can turn it around, he will be back at #2 before he knows it.
IMO, it worked with Reese for Pierson. I thought Reese played decent. I am a big supporter of mixing it up. It works in all sports at all levels
