Jacoby Jones led the LEAGUE in 30 yards per return average. Essentially Joe Flacco starting drives on the 30 or more,
for comparison sake, we had Shaun Draughn who averaged 21 yards per return.
So Flacco getting the ball at the 30 versus Brady Quinn/Matt Cassel starting at the 21, if the return begins at the 1. And it takes one sake or rushing play that nets a loss of yards for that drive at the 21 to be in the teens. Essentially poor field position KILLING drives before they even begin.
I dont know about you, but I'm sick of that

I admit, I wrongly called him a non-factor during the season. But how great was he in Houston? Baltimore has had a history of returning the ball well. We have not. We know Reid likes speed, but find it in a guy who's not headed into the backend of his career.
