Someone please get me up to speed. Where does my man stand. I always thought of him as me sleeper favorite. Is there any new competition on the team that provide what he provides specifically as a gunner. Thanks
Restructured his deal so I don't see him going anywhere.
Best hope is someone like Lewis (idiocy aside), Rudolph or Powe can become solid players on Specials.
Yup, there is minimal cap savings by cutting him now. I still think he has to earn a spot though. He'll earn a roster spot based on special teams with an added bonus of being in this offense for 2 years now.
Said he showed top return abilities two years ago and top gunner abilities last year and that this year is about putting both on display.
I think Lewis showed well as a gunner last year too. Rudolph seemed to show some ability so far this off season, but he's a long shot as far as I can tell. I asked Dan Duggan the other day about Rudolph and he said he didn't show anything in his eyes to suggest he's taking anyone's spot.
We were often able to win the battle of field position. As a gunner he's unmatched. That alone gives him a roster spot in my eyes.
If he can return to form on returns that's a bonus imho.
units in the league. We were not great returning last year but we were still pretty good at covering and I don't want to lose that. I hope he makes the team because we have improved on O and the D should still be as good if not better so we can't afford to lose ground on STs coverage.
If we can find a better returner I am all for that but keep him around for STs coverage and 6th WR.

In to WR 3 in some run plays he's a nasty blocker
Also his special team gunning is Elite, nobody better, plus between him and Deossie we have ST HOFs (not literal hof).
And that's not including his ability to field punts cleanly.

He's the star of out ST and especially with our Kicking unknowns.
