they wont. Battle will continue to field punts, walker will get KO returns.

No, and Im pretty sure the team doesn't want to put Crabtree out there when he hasn't returned kicks since high school. too much money invested in him to put him out there and take a chance of him getting blown up.

haha i was just joking. i was responding to the post above

I'm curious as to why we haven't seen Spurlock back there seeing that it was the only thing he did well in Tampa, in fact he was the first and only player in Yucks history that has returned a kickoff for a TD.

yeah, i asked that same question earlier. i remember playing with him in one of the madden moments on madden 09
as inconsistent as Rossum has been this year, it should have been spurlock.
No matter what anyone thought of Rossum, he is better than anything we have otherwise to return kicks....anyone watching our return game since he left can see this. Big mistake.

I hoped it would be Spurlock getting cut too, especially since he's made zero impact on during the regular season but I'll stop short of call it a mistake. A lot of people were jumping to a similar conclusion when the decision was made to start Spencer over Bly. I won't pretend to know more than the coaching staff does about our personnel.

Rossum was horrible. All he would do is head for the sidelines. I'd like to see what Sheets could do as a returner.
im kinda glad rossum is gone all of his returns were more from blocking than anything he did anyway. theyll work it out

still kinda bitter about that dallas game
The best we can hope for this season is a guy that doesn't muff. We don't have a big return specialist out of the remaining guys that will be returning kicks.
