    Randle-El was a dynamic punt returner. I think Smith could be, too. Hard to say.

    Hopefully Miller will use this 'down' time wisely and look at some of the premier CBs in the league and see how they work.

    I want to see Brad Smith taking reps at cornerback. C'mon if we're going to copy the Pats lets do the weird things that worked somehow also.

    No way he should be back there. He is way to big and Slow IMO for a returner.

    Leon is the better option and I'd say Revis but we don't wanna risk losing another CB so I can understand that one..

    Leon ist the shifty, quick guy. Brad is more a upright, intransigent north-south return man.

    I think depending on the opponents Kick-coverage, we might see as the #1 return man in some games.

    Problem I have with Leon on PR and KR is that we only have two bonafide RBs on the squad. Wallace Wright?

    Originally I wasn't high on the pik but for a guy who missed some camp he is definitely the real deal holyfield...

    Just to see a CB finally break on a ball got me excited....

    That's exactly why other guys will be tried at KR. We can't afford to lose one of our two RBs. We can afford to lose a guy from the receiving corps (albeit, the depth is a little shallowed).

    No way Revis should be doing it.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again, kick returns are my least favorite part of the game. Nothing good ever comes of it (outside the handful of times a year one gets returned for a TD).

    the njury risk is way too high to make Leon the primary return man. this plan REALLY scares me. also, if we don't see Leon on offense this week i'm not going to be happy at all!!!

    I didn't even initially think of kick off returns when I saw the title. I thought he was replacing him at CB.

    I say try Brad out at kickoff return and punt returns. If it doesn't seem like it's working out, then let Leon do it.

    Hey guys! Remember Brad Smith and Leon Washington, those two dynamic, shifty multi-purpose players we drafted last year? Wouldn't it be awesome if they still played for us?

    Seriously though, WTF is Schotty doing?! These dudes are two of our nastiest threats and I doubt I've seen them involved in more than a dozen plays this season. If Schottenheimer won't use 'em, give 'em to Westhoff- I just want to see these guys on the field.
