After listening to his opening press conference, my hopes are really low for him. He's probably just not good at press conferences.

I just didn't like how he kind of repeatedly made excuses and was so boastful about himself.

We'll see how he does though.

I won’t mind the boasting.....IF he can back it up on the field.
Of course a lot of guys boast, but bomb.
Only time will tell.
Hopefully he will be a positive force on the field.
I have a feeling he will be returning kicks for us while Ervin is hurt.

Did you know that Desmond Howard (who has my favorite kick return of all time) never returned a kick for a TD in the regular season? That little tidbit was a surprise to me.

I didn’t know that about Howard, Zero.
A good punt returner can switch field position in an instant. Ervin did that for us last year.
