The Cincinnati Bengals unveiled a new kickoff return against the Cleveland Browns and Charlie Jones took it 100 yards for a touchdown to start Sunday's 21-14 victory.
Today, it was the unveiling of a new kick return that produced an early score and set the tone forBengals special teams coach Darrin Simmons noticed something while watching film of the Cleveland kick coverage unit that he thought the Bengals could exploit.
Last week against the Giants, he had Brown and Jones mill around side by side until right before the kickoff in case New York kicker Greg Joseph was intent on kicking to a specific returner. “That's exactly how Darrin drew it up,” Jones said. “A middle return, and if I get through there, take it right. It was exactly how he told me it was gonna be, and everybody did their job.
But he returned 45 kicks in college, including a 100-yard touchdown while playing for Iowa in a game against Illinois and current teammate and fellow kick returner Chase Brown.
