is anyone else baffled by the teams lack of confidence in this kid. I call it a lack of confidence because i don't know what else to call it. Most of us saw flashes in the preseason. He should have been the kick returner at the start of the season, and even after his game-changing performance on Sunday, John Fox still won't hand over the job. i wouldn't mind seeing him more involved in the passing game as well. He reminds me so much of Steve Smith.

He is a rookie. What NFL coach ever has confidence in a rookie. And fwiw, he didn't look that good at first in returning kicks. I think he will improve with experience.

Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin, Jim Caldwell, Jeff Fischer, Mike Shannan, Brad Childress, Mike Smith.

did i miss anyone?

There is a huge difference between having confidence in and deciding to play the best athlete at a particular position. Fox has played rookies before. Peppers and Otah come to mind. He might not have had confidence the way he might in a veteran, but he played them and let them make their mistakes.

And fwiw, Moore is returning kicks, so obviously the coach has some confidence in him.

As far as starting, well I am a Wake Forest fan, and I love seeing Kenny play, but even I would not have him supplant Moose or Smith.

Moore has speed but needs confidence. He certainly earned a spot on the active roster as a returner. Might mean he is used as a receiver, at least he will be available. He could blossom into a threat. If not, Jackson is on the practice squad right behind him. I would like to see Goodson get reactivated and see what he can do. Hopefully he will be cleared to play. I didn't see him on the injury report as of Friday night. I guess we will find out soon.

      I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken.

      Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).

      Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
