1. You can't trot Ammendola out again. You just can't. It'd be mutiny. I don't care what you do, you have to cut him and sign someone else. I'd go for two every time and have Reid kick off before I did that again.
2. Justin Watson needs way more snaps. Yes, he could've caught that one ball today, but he's big, he's fast, hes a physical match-up problem, and he usually catches the ball. He was inches away from another big TD today. Play him.
3. It's time to get Pacheco more touches. The midget squad isn't getting it done. It's not all their fault, but at least Pacheco is big and strong enough to maybe break some tackles.
4. It's time to bench Wylie. Wanegho can't be worse, and might have upside. Just do it, for accountability's sake if nothing else.
5. I think it's time to force feed more snaps to Moore. I don't want him returning punts anymore. Put Hardman there, you know what Hardman is, and he's not a route running WR. At least he might break a PR. [Reply]
I mean, I don't watch practice but it's puzzling how little Skyy has been involved in the real offense. Mecole should be the special teams guy, not Skyy. Until further notice.
Putting Hardman on special teams is every bit as likely to cause what we had happen today. Have you forgotten the inexcusable gaffes he had returning?... [Reply]

What do you have to lose?
I do agree that Hardman should be the returner. If we’re determined to bring kicks out of the end zone, then why not give it to the best option for a big return? [Reply]

If Skyy was this big punt return guy in college Id be more on board, but he wasn't really used like that [Reply]

I know Hardman has made his fair share of bad decisions on punt returns, but at least he’s a threat for a big return. Take the good with the bad. [Reply]

Or let Pacheco have his turn and see how that goes. We have like 5 guys who can return on this team. It's not like we're out of options... [Reply]

yeah, but the reason for not using Hardman was to utilize him more offensively. Nothing is really happening there, and Moore and Watson need more touches. Hardman is what he is, a gadget player and return guy. Just use him that way and let's see what these other guys can do. [Reply]

That’s where I was going.
Even Hardman’s biggest critics normally acknowledge what he can do well. He’s absolutely capable of big returns. If he isn’t going to catch 70 passes this year, then we might as well accept him for what he is and use him to his strengths. [Reply]

Pat also needs to realize he can't extend every play. What would a game look like where Pat has no choice but get rid of the ball in 4 seconds? Just quick plays and distribute?
It can be done. Those quick slants and routes can be called. It really is a team effort. [Reply]
