Since he signed elsewhere, off topic comment coming.

Shawn, I think that's easily your best signature ever! I mean that too, it makes me want to fire up Photoshop and make a new one!

I'm pretty sure that Carr, Leonhard, Hester, Burleson, Bess, and Cotchery were all starters also.

Slocum...that is another story.

No, it's the same story. I'm convinced we could have the best returners in the league and it won't matter cuz of Slocum.

I REALLY like Mike McCarthy, but his allegiance to Slocum leaves me scratching my head.

"digsthepack" wrote:

Allegiance? Isn't this Slocum's 2nd year? Is that really allegiance? Don't get me wrong, I want the guy gone too but I don't think he's here due to allegiance. I think he's here to get a fair\last chance. I hope the shithead gets it done, but...yeah.

The returners last year would look a lot better if we didn't have so many penalties taking away returns. I think we even had a TD or 2 called back. They actually would have looked pretty good.

Since they are spending extra time working on cutting down penalties and making blocks for the returner, it may be the fix we actually need, if not what every body is looking for.

Mike Holmgren used lots of starters on ST in '96. Didn't seem to be a problem for them. Specially when they got Desmond a return for a TD. Doesn't happen without great blocking.

Really the dynamic returners are starters.. I grabbed 2009 stats.. anyone with more than 10 returns.. and colored the starters I could think of off the top of my head.. I may have missed one or so.. but the majority are non starters that have a returner primary role.. which is pretty standard.

I couldn't decide on Cribbs.. starter or no.. lol. But illustration is clear.. starters don't return punts on a normal basis.

I'd vote no. And I'd have voted no on Sproles as a starter. He's been a career backup to Ladainian Tomlinson and now to Ryan Mathews. It's like calling Brandon Jackson a starter.

Maybe 10 percent of a quality punt return is (i) catching the ball and securing it, (ii) the first two steps.

The rest is blocking.

Most of the explanation for the Packers' mediocre return team is performance of the other 10 guys.

Or, I suppose, if you are a member of the Jarrett Bush Fan Club (see McCarthy, Mike), other 9 guys.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Since this thread started or last post, however you wish to see it.
Clifton Smith was cut from Dolphins.
Clifton Smith signed with the Browns.

Edit, he was waived 9/21/2010 (or around that date)

Dolphins waived RB/KR Clifton Smith.
The coaching staff apparently decided they couldn't afford to carry a return specialist when he's averaging just 4.5 yards per punt return and 17.3 yards per kickoff return. Davone Bess will likely take over on punts with Patrick Cobbs and Nolan Carroll on kickoffs

I care less about who would replace him, but color still not happy we are gambling with Tramon returning punts.. is importance to this team has only elevated with his play this season.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product
