Yeah why can't we throw a street free agent out there returning kicks instead of this guy, he's sooooo terrible!

Hindsight's great.
Btw, is this all the confirmation that we need to call Jordy a good returner all of a sudden? I saw him run into a pile two times in the first half. Then he breaks one 50 yarder and that appears to be all the confirmation necessary.
You know who intercepted 3 passes in his career? Ahmad Carroll. He must've had some amazing cover and ballskills.
Bringing in Clifton Smith had a reason. Trying out Brandon Jackson at KR had a reason. Trying to get in Sam Shields, even though he fumbled every 2nd ball had a reason.
I hope it's no fluke and I'd love to see him break some more big ones, but I'm not expecting a whole lot more than a runback to the 18-24.
