Jones didn't complete a pass on the first drive after there was miscommunication with rookie running back Kaelon Black on a second down. Reading coverages in the passing game on option routes will be something Black needs to learn on the fly this season. Black benefitted from good blocking on a 14-yard run on the ensuing drive. Black gave way to James in the second quarter.
