Further Proof of an Anti Redskins Bias in the National Media

[Daseal]

Antonio Brown (8.9 yds) and James Thrash (8.5 yds) did much better on punt returns than Morton (6.2 yds). Betts was better (23.0 yds) on Kickoffs than Morton (22.4) Morton only had one good kickoff return return during his tenure here. That one being the TD against the Saints in 2003. Antonio Brown also had a return for 66 yds and Ladell Betts had one for 70 yards. Morton's long? 49 yards. Cutting Morton was a great move.

Hard to compare two different special teams coaches like this. Is Morton a top 5? No. Could we do worse - yes. Antonio Brown doesn't have a whole lot in the way of moves, but when you have the speed he has it's not really that important!

Those were the stats from last year, so they are from the same system and the same coaching staff.

Morton was defintely a better kickoff returner than punt returner.

Daseal, did you take a close look at Brown the limited time he did play? The kid has some moves, he's not a stright line player, in all honesty the speed and excelleration that I saw from him was Daryl Green est, I couldn't believe my eye's the first time I saw him run, my thought was how on earth could a team just release a kid with that kind of speed? I expect very big thing's from Brown this season.

Clinton Portis upon seeing Brown run turned to Gibbs and said "that's the fastest human I have ever seen".
