[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 969903, member: 13032"] You're reply makes sense. It's harder to catch a pass when you're running than it is standing still, calling a fair catch, and waiting for a punt to drop into your hands. Second point is that the WR group is depleted even more with Watkins out, so not a good idea to risk injury on a punt return with a new guy - especially against the Bucs. Rodgers is, IMO, the worst receiver on the team. I hope he proves me wrong. So leave Rodgers out there today to field punts. Play it safe. The STs don't seem to be making the glaring mistakes of the last few years. Again, if by mid-year Rodgers doesn't show substantial improvement, cut him and make room for someone else. They held onto Jeff Janis for way too long. He was a terrific gunner on STs, but one-trick ponies shouldn't take up a roster spot. Janis is also a cautionary tale that speed is not a cure all for a receiver or runner. Speed complements a WR or PR/KR. But if that's the only skill, it's not near enough. Janis never learned more about wide receiving than to "go fast and go long." [/QUOTE]
