I can see Crabtree getting some run as the punt returner along with 5-10 snaps a game to get him worked into the mix. He would be a beast as a punt returner and a good way to get something out of him until he learns the offense
He's returned two kickoffs since High School.
He hasn't played meaningful football since December of 2008.
He doesn't know the offensive playbook, let alone the special teams playbook.
He's coming off a foot injury.
Let's see him run through a few weeks of practices and let him sit inactive before everyone anoints him.
Please explain to me why in the hell you would prefer Crabtree to be inactive? The niners have a simple playbook crabtree is not going to need long to learn it.
He hasn't played an actual game in 10 months and missed all of training camp and the preseason. He's a liability on the field, no matter how simple the playbook is.
Consider this: Brandon Jones missed part of training camp and all of the preseason. He was cleared to play two weeks ago and saw action last week, though almost exclusively on running downs. Don't expect Crabtree, who hasn't practiced at all with Hill and the team to come in and produce.
