Going up against Leon Washington's return skills, I'd guess we wanted to be as strong as possible, and AJJ doesn't play STs. I know Jacobs doesn't either, so I guess we could have pushed him off for another week in that case though.

One of the reasons I wanted the team to draft Fleener. He wouldn't be as versatile as Walker but already knew the system and could be making some really big receptions. Walker has had a terrible receiving year with a couple of exceptions that demonstrate how valuable he can/could be if he were able to hold onto the ball better. His tip toeing into the endzone was a very nice play for a guy his size. But wouldn't have been great to have Fleener's hands out their with VD on the other side?
YES ! I believe in our coaches and F/O.. I think AJJ may become very good.. but I still would have gone Fleener all the way for the reasons you provided. No way does Fleener do nothing on that Amukamara INT vs NYG. Walker makes some key run blocks at times.. but I think Fleener can do that as well. It isn't as if Walker is blowing defenders out of holes.. he does just enough to wall/chip/pop a defender.. and Fleener can do that as well.
