Wasn't it a fair catch attempt that was muffed?

I think we had a debate about this months ago.
The returner was attempting to fair catch the ball, but did not have possession of the ball. Therefore, it's documented as a "fumble" but we fan's call it ... dunno, an oopsie?
Anyhow, Sam Shields will not be our returner for the 2010 season. He's not comfortable back there at all and that's not something he's going to pick up in the next three or four weeks. If he makes the team, he makes it by taking Jarrett Bush's spot as Special Teamer and far down on the depth chart as CB.
