I know many of you guys like Allen Rossum as our kick return/ punt return guy, but I think he's done. I feel like the kick/punt returner should be a player who may not have one of the best averages, but is a threat to take it to the house every time he gets the ball. I'd much rather have someone who can do that over someone like Allen who has a very high average but has a very slim chance of taking it all the way.
A guy like Josh Cribbs, who only has 2 touchdowns for his career as a returner, is still feared by every team that kicks it to him so they actually have to game plan a little more for the threat. For Allen, no one gives a s**t because the dude doesn't have that extra gear anymore.
Are you happy with Allen's play or do you, like I do, hope we get a new PR/KR?
I agree with Rossom looks old and slow out there. My predition is tha he will be cut in the next couple of weeks.

100% disagree. We are judging this by one game and some preseason play?
Rossum was solid last year. Let's give him some time before we throw him out to pasture, ok?

Yes, he fell off. The Niners were 11th in the league in kick return average in 2007, and 12th in 2008 . . . . WOW!
