He stands back and counts to make sure they don't have too many players and when the ball gets to him he runs it to the 30 yrd line. consistantly.
He is not even a half decent RB. So he's one demensional. If the team ever gets someone who can KR/PR he's gone. Alridge may be the person. I'm excited to see what he brings also. In college he atleast was used several different ways. He was the KR/PR, he was the RB, and he acted as a WR sometimes. Due to his speed I could see us putting Moss, Thomas, and Alridge in as WR's to create mismatches.

I'm all for trying something new in the ST returners department. Getting ARE away from punt returns is a priority. Letting someone else do the KR duties will be good for us to make the change, but we will always have Rock lurking to give us that 30 yard line consistency.
I am really looking forward to the possibility of ST getting us excellent field position for a change.
