How Scott Turner can help mitigate Antonio Gibson’s ball security issues

Antonio Gibson's first game as a Washington Commander did not go as he intended when they took on the Carolina Panthers this past Saturday. The third-year running back initially played with the starters but was ultimately benched the drive immediately following fumbling, so he spent one drive playing with the second string unit. Gibson finished his day with four carries for two yards and one costly fumble that led to a Panthers touchdown.

It was not the best performance, and head coach Ron Rivera is aware of that, too. "Antonio's got to run harder," Rivera said post-game.
