He can't hold on to it either per his fumbled kick return that we got lucky and got overturned.

Apparently he's a decent blocker on the line (supposedly) and awesome on ST. After this year I'd cut Banks and Paul. As we have seen we have another KR and we have Young to run block. Lets find and actual TE who can catch and block.

I've heard others say Paul is a good blocker on offense but when I watch games for the second time around I see him whif and basically miss the action over and over. Maybe he's good part of the time, but several of the big hits on RG especially in the pocket are on Paul.

Don't get me started on Polumbus. I mean, you're right. But when protection has broke down on the left side (blindside) it's often been Paul missing a blocking assignment.

And sure accidents happen. I know Young missed an assignment that led to RG getting trucked once...it happens. Can't remember the specific game.

But with Paul he's missing blocks, dropping passes, doing nothing after the catch unless aside the one TD that was blown coverage. It's pretty bizarre he's on the field apart from special teams. Again, it's a Mike thing, been a Mike thing for a long time with different players/coaches.
