Here's the Washington Post's Mike Jones' point #5 in observations from the Redskins' preseason win over the Browns last night:
#5. Returns game remains shaky – The Redskins need Jamison Crowder (hamstring strain), who should serve as a legitimate upgrade on punt returns. Andre Roberts, who admitted last season he wasn’t fond of fielding punts, was ineffective Thursday, and fumbled at the end of one return. Cleveland cashed in that turnover for a touchdown. Chris Thompson got a few chances to field punts and he looked terribly uncomfortable. He muffed one, but luckily managed to scoop up the ball before defenders got there. He’s just not a natural there, despite his great speed. Crowder excelled in this capacity in college and should wind up landing this job full-time once healthy.
Let's hope Jamison returns to action soon.
