Just give JoJo a little space and he produces. Ram's gunner-blockers have been poor as well as their gunners this year. For all the crap JoJo gets he didn't have any fumbles and little room to run. I think he missed an opportunity this week on one punt. I like him better as a punt returner.
Let's see what Henderson and Webster can do.

I don’t believe that we will greatly miss Natson, but he has actually done a pretty good job. Not a critical loss, but a loss nonetheless.

I like Jojo.
I don't think he's had a fumble since that critical won last year.

He's got moves and he's going to break a few before it's over with. IMO.

We must be watching a different guy.

I think the cheerleaders could tackle him.

He's a decent punt returner, but not a great one. He shouldn't be returning kickoffs. That mistake of returning one from deep in the endzone the other day alone should have gotten him benched. He has virtually no value as a receiver. His being a decent punt returner does not make up for his lack of value otherwise.

The Rams need a punt returner who has some other value to the team. Natson doesn't. Put him on IR, and see if any of the kids can fill his tiny shoes. If not, draft or sign a rookie or two to compete. Preferably one who can be a useful backup elsewhere.

I hate to say it but I'm glad we will be trying someone else. I think him taking a roster spot was not a good coaching decision.

It's good that Natson got a paycheck but I hope he invests it well. His time is ticking.

Next man up.

Let's hope that Webster/Henderson are ready.

I expect Web will be an upgrade on punt returns. Don't like seeing injuries either but sometimes they can help you and feel like this is one of those times.

If it's Hendy that's cool too. But I think Web is a really smart player look forward to him maximizing what's there.

Sad for Jojo. Hopefully, his replacement doesn't have issues with muffing punts. But we could do better when it comes to actual returns. We need to replace him this offseason.

Every punt, I think “get back, jojo”

Get back to where you once belonged...

I have been asking you for a great return man in your mock drafts for a few years now.
It's time to produce.

I dont get all the dislike for jojo.
Hes not great, but he does the job.
Were acting like every team has a td threat other than us.
It wasnt long ago that we had Austin gettin 30 yds sideways for a 3 yd loss.

Who wants to be all my ROD DOLLARS that we see a fumbled punt or kick return in the next few weeks?

Was never a fan of Jojo trust me. But holding onto a ball during a return when you are new to duties is hard.

Natson has been secure with the ball. That’s a must-have... and like others have pointed out, something to worry about with any substitute.

I believe this is a blessing in disguise. It puts Henderson on the field and gives Webster a shot at proving himself. I wish we would try him at WR.
