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.

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

Didn't Springs say he should be ready for Seattle?

Yeah, I'm sick and tired of people complaining about Harris. He's still a decent nickleback, and we can't help missing Springs.

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

onlydarksets · 01-09-2006, 10:53 AM

No question that our defense won the game, and no question that our secondary is thin. That doesn' change the fact that Harris scares me when he is in there. Even a nickle back needs to be able to tackle. I'm glad Springs is back - I think Hassleback & Co. are in for a nasty surprise on Sunday!

harris played well enough for the skins to win.frost actually kicked well(minus the 14 yarder)on saturday.a brown should be used on kickoffs only.i was really against moss back on punt returns but after watching s smith return punts for carolina,we are getting to the nitty gritty,why not moss?

Walt Harris is a servicable nickle back, and there is nothing wrong about saying he scares you. When he is starting, we are put in some precarious positions. Rogers and Springs starting and Harris at nickle is great. It's when you have Rogers and Harris starting and Jimoh at nickle when you should be scared. Hopefully this week will be the former.

As for Antonio Brown, get that guy the **** off my football team. He is no Redskin. He is an idiot. I believe we have a guy named SANTANA MOSS who touched the ball fewer times on Sunday than Brown did, and has 1 more postseason punt return for a touchdown than does Brown. Cut Brown, sign a D lineman off the practice squad, and let one of the ****ing best punt returners in football do his thing.

Why is Brown not a Redskin??

Because he doesn't play smart football.

You could say the same thing for a number of players though.

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!
