What I'm saying is, like Hall (no comparison skill wise, D. Hall is the man!) A. Brown is just a specialist and really nothing els, and perhaps Gibbs and Co. just wanted to make sure that he is indeed just a specialist. Of course anything more would be icing on the cake, IMO.

I agree, but to be honest, a guy who strictly just returns kicks better be exceptional at it, and so far when I think of Brown, I think of that good return last year, (against Minnesota?), moster fumble at Dallas, 4 straight drop balls last night, dropped touchdown earlier in preseason, I really don't think he is lighting up right now, Parson's put him to shame last night!
I think Gibbs is the type of coach that expects guys to be a little more than one dimensional, ala Thrash, and Jacobs and their special teams play, pass catching ability and with Thrash, his return ability ...
