I hope he doesn't come back.  We can find someone who contributes to the team and returns kicks.

 

I guy I think would be a great scat back type is Marcus Murphy probably an UDFA from Missouri. He leaves Missouri with 5,112 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns, scored via running (16), receiving (2), kick returning (5) and punt returning (2).

he is the best return guy we have had in a long time. Keep him

He dropped the ball quite a few times last season when receiving it. In my mind he took way too many risks when the reward just wasnt there. I know he every now and then broke out for huge plays during his career from seemingly terrible positions, but the risk / reward just isnt there for me.

I rather have Carter return punts. Cribss signing is another waste of money. He fair cateches when does not have too, does not fair catch when should as about to get hammered, runs the ball out of end zone when should not and so on. Maybe he will start to catch punts instead oof using his visor and face mask.

Don't care he really gets crazy with this no fair catch thing & teams are teeing off on him! In a game were ball security is a premium I would much rather have Wahlen who holds onto the ball & give up the potential explosive play as to the possible turnover and maybe an explosive play, or our returner getting jacked up!

That is the perception about Whalen, but if you'll recall, last year before he was demoted Griff was having his own ball security issues and making his own share of opting not to make a fair catch bad decisions. I recall very vividly complaining that he's supposed to be our "safe" return option, but if he can't even do that, then we ought to get somebody with more home run ability. Cribs brings that, but clearly he has to make some better decisions, no doubt.

It's tough not to pull for Griff Whalen, but I'll be very surpised if he makes the team next year. I suspect his time in the NFL is almost up.

If he'd call for a fair catch every now and again I'd love me some Josh Cribbs. special teams turnovers can be absolutely devasting. I appreciate never wanting to give up, but sometimes you gotta just be smart.

I won't blame him for the Patriots debacle, but that turnover was a huge momentum swing.

Maybe but honestly Cribbs is crazy & a risk! A big one & Whalen IMO is a safer bet, but not on Kick offs.

YUP HUGE and those types of plays can kill you! He did it in the Denver game as well but we lucked out an got a favorable call to keep the ball!!
