Did they bring in a different 10 guys for Slater?

Awesome picking out stats and not knowing what they mean. Good job.

Mathew Slater had 11 returns. He spent most of his time playing in front of Ellis, and a good percentage of his returns were on squibbed or short kicks, where the return is always lower.

Yeah, I'd like to see Edelmen get some reps in there, it always seems to be by committee back there anyway, so have BB just grab him and say "HOLD ON TO THE FRACKING BALL" and then send him out.

More like a big el Busto. Ginn looks like Bethel Johnson the IInd. Except Ginn was a top 10 pick in round 1 and Bethel Johnson only cost us a 2nd. I loved when the Dolphins announced at their press conference that they'd used the #9 overall pick for a... kick returner! ROFL. That was priceless!

When does Tate come off PUP? I'd like to see what he can do. Meanwhile give Edelman some reps back there at KR. What would it hurt? Are his hands that bad? He looks pretty sure handed to me when he lines up at wideout.

So you say we need a burner back there to return kicks? We got one! TEAM first Joey Galloway steps in to get back out of the doghouse...LMAO. Perfect if it works, just as good if it doesnt. It's a 2-fer!
