Goodson working his way out of the doghouse?

[Mr. Scot]

Perhaps.

On if Kealoha Pilares and Armanti Edwards will continue to be the kick returners: Yes. But I've got to say this, too. Mike Goodson is really practicing well. He's bringing himself up. Whatever situation he had a few weeks ago, he seems to have refocused himself. It was really good to see him do the things that he's capable of doing, because it lets you know he has that ability. And that is the thing that I was hoping for and looking for and real pleased with the effort he's given. Last week, he gave a great look on show team and this, week he gave a great look on show team, so I'm very pleased with that.

Rivera's Remarks - Gaither to Start

[Herbert The Love Bug]

hmm interesting. he has always had terrible hands

[PhillyB]

gaither is back... phenomenal. he's very good against the run and that's exactly what we're going to need.

looks like butler may not play... that's a problem.

[therealmjl]

I hope so. Always been pulling for Goody and feel like he is still being under utilized. This offense is explosive enough so it kind of goes unnoticed, unlike previous years.

[Dex]

Is Darius Butler not playing tomorrow?

[Dpantherman]

No, hes with his Daughter who just had heart surgery.

[Dex]

No, hes with his Daughter who just had heart surgery.

Family first. Heard the surgery went well though.

[mav1234]

Butler will be missed but his daughter needs him far more than his team does right now.

[Mr. Scot]

In his presser, Rivera said he put absolutely no restrictions on how much time Butler needed.

That tells me he's a human being first, and I'm happy to see that.

[Jackofalltrades]

I like the run stopping combo of Gaither and Applewhite, maybe we'll see a glimpse of what run defense looks like.

[jasonluckydog]

Well if Coach needs me I'm ready.....I can play cb.

[jtm]

I for one get nervous every time Goodson touches the ball. He is such a liability.

[Doyle]

Goodson is a horrible return man - not that Pilares is doing any better.

[csx]

Perhaps.

I'd say that Rivera answered your question right there in the quote you provided.
