I dont mind if Brown is our guy for kickoff returns, I actually think hes a very good asset there. However on punts, he scares the crap out of me.

AB scares the hell out of me on punts.

I know he's got the big play potential, but at this time of the year I'd prefer to see a safer bet back there like Thrash.

Why don't we put Jimmy Farris on punt returns?

I agree 100% AB is 50/50 back there. Put thrash back there or Moss if were in position to get a big return.

I'd rather go with Betts on punt returns. Like most of you A.B. just scares me on punt returns. He doesn't know when to call fair catch. But on kickoff returns the guy is definitely an asset.

cannot risk moss to return punts
better thrash or betts

I've been thinking that too. But then I think of Darrell Green's punt return in the playoffs against the Bears.

what are you talking about?? this is crunch time, this is why he DIDNT return punts during the year... to protect him FOR the PLAYOFFS. we have to use him 2 or 3 returns a game. we didnt just get him for a wr, we got him for his gamebreaking ability and to help us win, putting him at PR will force short punts for no return or a guy who can take it to the house on a reg punt. YOU HAVE TO USE GUYS FOR WHAT THEY ARE WORTH IN THE PLAYOFFS. OUR MINDSET NEEDS TO BE BETTING HE WILL TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE THEN BETTING IF WE USE HIM THERE HE'S GONNA GET HURT

I've said it before and I will say it again.....MOSS on punt returns is offensive suicide for the team...every player on the other side of the skins in a game is gunning to hit (dirty hit-most likely) Santana and get him out of the game....he is BIG THREAT GUY, I think having on punt returns is tooo huge of a risk.

Stick with Ladell Betts or James Thrash.

I couldn't possibly disagree with this post any more. It's win or go home. I know one thing, if I were the coach and I lost a playoff game, I would want to know that I used everything I had at my disposal, and that I left everything we had on the field.

I would never want to wonder to myself, I wonder if Moss could have made a difference on punt returns. It counts now, for real. Put him back there. I WANT TO WIN.

Let's put Thrash back there to catch the ball, then he can hand it to AB to run.

Thrash has a broken thumb. That's not saying that he still won't have better hands than "Butterfingers McBrown", but he's probably not the safest pick to return punts either.

I say f*ck it - put Moss back there! It's the g-damn playoffs. If not, maybe farris or betts is an option B. Or maybe THE ADE - now we're talking!

Ah, yes - other than that, my plan is flawless.

I'd say under the circumstances our secondary and Harris did a pretty good job.

You can only say that in hindsight because he was owned two times in a row back to back. Fortunately one pass was a dropped TD, and the other was overthrown in the end zone. If either had been caught, this thread would've been a "cut Walt Harris" thread.
