Story was to rest up Jet and play Wilson. Maybe that's the way we should do it from now on. On those quick cut back runs, both Wilson and Hasty have "it". Sad to say, Jet doesn't. Good receiver but he just isn't the RB we need on this team. Considering our best RB is on I.R., we have a 3some set of RBs that literally make a monster at the RB position.

I see some want to act like weeks 1-3 don't exist...I get it.
With that said, definitely should not be our primary runner or even our number 2 back. But he can and has made some plays. To me, he is just a pass catching running back that is great in pass pro. Perfect for 3rd downs. Only problem is his presence does give the defense a tip that we are passing. With that said, the value is there. Between him, Kittle, and our starting receivers, someone should have a mismatch on any pass play.

Not sure what happened, dude was balling the first part of the year. Not sure if its a rhythm, play calling or actually him. Hopefully he can step up the next few weeks when we need him most.

I'm assuming he looked great to start the season because he was fresh but his durability is shot as an athlete and over time will look worse and worse as the hits pile on IMO. We had the same issues with Breida but at least he wasn't coming off a severe injury and 2 years of rehab.

6 really good runs tonight and 1 good catch. Looked totally better than Hasty. Is he willing to be the 3rd back on a really cheap deal next year?

Part of me would rather have Gore if he wanted to do it. Not a great fit for the system, but would be a quality 3rd down back, and s**t..it's Frank Gore.

I'm shocked how now that he is healthy, how un-important Jet is to this offense.

Why is this guy on the roster? Dude hasn't done anything significant the entire time he's been here. Total waste of time and money.

I knew that knee would fail him - he's just not the same player post injury.

Never liked the signing from the very beginning , what a bust, worse than Jonas Jennings signing and rivals even the dee Ford signing , we got a lot of bad signing with this regime actually
