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.

      He was so much fun to watch as a player but is a prototypical example of the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Great player, not a great guy.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Look.... if us BY "haters" give credit about his GWDs...... Will the BY stans also have honest discussion about the 55minutes before the last 5 in which BY has put up 9/20 for 78 yards 0 TDs???

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back.  We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay. Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond.  Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field.  Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game. Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening. Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.
