I personally wasn't worried about the kick returns.. but I still hold questions with player selections in our punt returns..

The Wisconsin game brought that front and center.

lol nice.

I think it'll take a few games before we can say we're "healed" on special teams. Crosby burned me last season when I had his back. I haven't forgotten about that. Dude was something like 13 of 14 under 49 so I had his back. Then he turns in freaking shankzilla!!

Zero - Heh. Yes, you are partially correct. But, a KR has to be able to see where the holes are developing. Entering a hole correctly takes talent. You'd be surprised how many people can't figure out how to do it, including professional football players.

Twinkie - I would love to, but I prefer not a judge on one game. Aaron had a miserably bad performance and Vick looked spectacular. But by the end of the year, Vick will most likely look miserable and Aaron will be spectacular.

I do sincerely hope Jordy and Crosby continue to shine though.

i know, and i was only speaking about the Crosby problem. that was my way of saying "dear god please let the Crosby of yesteryear return and let last year's man be gone forever."

---

I was more concerned with our lack of NT depth than our returners. I'm not a fan of using a starter as a backup for another starter. I think that causes a negative domino effect of deprecating value of talent. However, with only 45 active, you have no choice.

---

Ah... here we go again with 45.. I thought we explored that last week. 😉

---

Nelson Looked great I have more confidence in him to make some big returns this year.

---

Nelson is fine and so is fair catch Tramon is good enough.

Isn't it about time we drafted a scat back to handle these duties?

---

I wasn't telling you we could only activate 45. Was just saying with only 45 players, 22 starters, we can't reasonably have a backup at every position. Or ... could we?
11 on O
11 on D

That's 22, but then a backup for each would be 44 leaving us short on special teams.

Damn, math sucks.

---

LOL.. I know and that is why you have versatile players that can shift.. IE Pickett from end to nose.. Bulaga and Lang from guard to tackle..

But putting starter at the return spots is risky.. especially when you can have a lower level minion cover the duty. Especially if that player, generally a position player can help cover in a pinch the position.
