    I would consider finding a spot for Jabrill Peppers on kickoffs. I fully support taking Johnson off the field here, but we can't make our starting RB the long term option back there. We can't just deactivate Kaleb without promoting a RB to the 53. If we do end up doing something like that, I'd support cutting Connor Heyward for that promotion.

    How about coaching up Kaleb Johnson. Put him in some situations that rebuilds his confidence, like the 3rd and 1 or the 4th and 1. If he has any intestinal fortitude he will dominate short yardage situations.

    I would say since all our games have been close that maybe they have seen something in practice that makes them not want to right now.

    Put Connor Heyward back there. Since he is wasting a roster spot might as well try to make him do something worthwhile.
