Hyde is actually useful for something other than special teams.

What I should have said about the "fumbleitis" is if there was not clear poor technique - as somebody said, is taught from peewee football on, then the fumbling was LUCK more than anything else - that or good hits by tacklers. Regardless, it was kinda stupid and over-reacting to cut him - and I don't need to say who is responsible for personnel decisions.

Kick returner is one position where very little training/learning is required, so if we could pick up somebody good during the season, it would help. I don't want Cobb to return kicks, and I have soured on the goodness of Ross. Like the title of the thread says, he needs a few "happy" returns to be worth keeping, as he has been non-existent in the passing game. What about Boykin? Has he ever been tried as a kick returner?

I think what also helped Crosby is his track record kicking at Lambeau in December. It's not easy finding a guy who can kick in that consistently.

Gosh, "Uncle Teddy" must have some of you guys on the payroll hahaha. One little comment about him and it's like roaches out of the woodwork. Good Digging to find my comments from 3 months ago about Ross. Even then I wasn't wanting to see him cut - just to make up for some of his bad plays with some good ones - like he has more than done in Detroit.
