On returners, I think the argument is pretty much moot. Moss will be there on punt returns in this game. You can take that to the bank. Remember who Gibbs used to trot out there in the playoffs? Good old 28. He's going to bring out the big guns this game.

I'm not sure if he'd put Moss back there on kickoffs though. If he does, I'd prefer that. But Brown deserves a chance, because he has the speed to do damage. It's just that some games Brown seems very confident, and other times very scared. I think you just have to guage him on each day, if he is scared, take him out and let Betts do it. But Moss would be preferable. After all, it's the playoffs, win or go home. You put your best players out there, injuries be damned.

As for kickoffs, yesterday the Linc's field was in HORRIBLE shape. Hall was losing his footing, which is why that one kick went out of bounds. Akers was doing fine, but he's David Akers. He's the man. In Tampa I think Hall will get back to normal on better footing, and he'll get back to adequate kicking distance.
