That's because the other returners flat out suck, and offer no better chances to get a long return.

Ladell Betts simply finds the nearest pile of blockers and tacklers and rams into it, apparently forgeting that the object is to reach the endzone. And Thrash can be counted on for not fumbling the ball.

Those are our choices. At least Moss tries to make something happen. But you're right, I'd hate to lose him to an injury on our pathetic excuse for special teams. In the end though, you can't keep players from playing the game. Injuries are a part of football, and they're going to happen, but you've got to get your best players on the field that give you the best chance to win.
