AGREED. Betts has just as good a chance at scoring than Brown, too.

I hear what everyone is saying, I really do, playoffs, give 'em everything ya got, etc. What scares the hell out of me is say we are in this game in the first half and Moss is put back there, screws up a knee and he's done for the rest of the game. If you will remember, Darrell Green tore some rib cartlige on his historic punt return in Chicago. If Moss gets injured, our offense is screeeewwwwed. Go Skins.

What scares me is if AB's back there and fumbles the ball on our 10yardline......

Green already had a broken rib when he returned that punt. If Moss isn't touching the ball anyway, who cares if he could possibly get injured? Also, the idea of punt returners getting injured more than other players on the field is a ridiculous one. Sure, they take hits, but they're just as likely to get hurt as anyone else. We've had more KICKERS hurt this year than kick returners. Put in Moss, gain field position, possibly get a touchdown.

I don't think there would be a soul on this board who would argue putting in Moss if we hadn't recovered Brown's fumble.

Guys, I am sorry, but everytime the other team punts and AB is back their, I am scared to death. I don't think he makes good decisions. He may be the fastest guy on the team, but you can just blow on him as he goes by you and he will fall down. I trust Moss more. By the way, Moss has not missed a game due to injury this year and he gets hit and makes blocks every week. Put him back there!

Can you name one punt returner in the entire NFL this year who got hurt while performing punt return duties? I can't. Yes you take hard hits as a punt returner, but you do that as a WR too. I think the risk is WELL worth the reward.

Schneed10 · 01-10-2006, 01:05 PM

Antonio Brown is playing like he's scared SH*TLESS of getting hit. He won't run through a seam with confidence and he slips so often that it makes me wonder if he's taking a dive to avoid contact.

He's nervous and can't hold onto the ball. The guy doesn't have the mental makeup to be a good punt returner on the NFL. At least not right now. We need Moss back there because AB is a liability.

I don't think Green had a broken rib at the time but I could be wrong. Im pretty sure he got injured on the return. As far as who cares if Moss gets injured b/c its the last game, well, I care. What makes Moss a true No. 1 threat is that quickness and speed, ya take that away with a blown out knee and the guy might not recover in the off season. I just think he should be used as a PR only if the game depends on it, i.e. 4th quarter and we need a big play.

gortiz · 01-10-2006, 02:15 PM

I would only let moss return kicks in the second half of a game that is being decieded by 10 or more points

I figured you'd take that part out of my post and run with it. Read the part again about our KICKERS being hurt more than kick returners this season. At this point, it is about this week, not down the road. Sure we'd miss Moss, but he has a better chance of scoring a touchdown on a punt return than he does getting hurt. The risk/reward points to Moss returning punts.

skinsttw · 01-10-2006, 02:32 PM

Put the best man back there for punt returns. Moss is dangerous every time he
touches the ball. We need 30 points to win this game.

Dirtbag · 01-10-2006, 02:44 PM

Moss returned a kick for a TD in last year's playoffs, too.

Kickers are replaceable, Santana is not. I just don't think he should be put back on PR unless the game is on the line.
