Welcome back, Antonio

[skinsfan1982]

I thought Antonio Brown showed potential with the routes he ran in the last preseason game against the Ravens. He ran a great double move (about a 45 yard route) and blew by the corners, but when Brunell threw a pass that would have hit him in stride, he wasn't able to hold on to the ball. He then went on to drop more balls in that game, and the fumble in the Bears game ultimately resulted in him being cut.

If he returns kickoffs, I hope he can learn from Ladell Betts, who returns kickoffs north and south, and isn't afraid to take a hit. Brown had a tendency in the preseason to go east and west, and it didn't get him far.

As a receiver, I would mostly use him as a decoy, and place him in the slot on the same side as Santana. Thats a lot of speed on one side, and im sure brown would clear up a lot of room for Moss by taking along safeties if he just sprinted go-routes up the field. Once in a while we can throw to him, if the safeties decide to stay with Moss.
