It is time to put some starters on kickoff coverage!

Foget about the injury risk. We need to put better players on ST. Those returns were both caused by missed tackles. Don't blame Danny SMith.

AMEN!!!

As I've already noted in another thread -- today in the Titans/Philly game (I live in TN), as soon as Titans ST screwed up and handed Philly a TD, Titans HC Jeff Fisher reassigned some of TN's starters to ST to be sure that didn't happen again.

There is no player on a team too valuable to be used on ST when needed.

They can't get any worse! Even improvement over today will still be horrible unless it is MAJOR improvement.

I still say put some starters on the team. Wire, Jenkins, etc.

[BillsMan80]

We had some...Priloeau...we need guys who can tackle...not just starters...but Jenkins and Wire are good starts...they are guys who can hit and tackle.

yeah, you want London Fletcher, Nate Clements, and Winfield running down the fields 100 MPH and getting their knees taken out??? No, I don't think so

We're not deep enough on D to risk our starters

[Novacane]

Maybe they should cut one of the rookies than to make an example to these guys that if they do not do their job they will be replaced.

you'd be a great coach LOL

[Novacane]

It's not like they would be cutting an important member of the team BD. These are the 40th to 53rd men on the roster covering these kicks. There are a lot of FA out there that could cover kicks better than these guys did today.
How bout this. To be fair I give them one more week. If no major improvement is seen than ax one or two of em!

They DID have Larry Centers on one kickoff.

[Novacane]

Speaking of Centers he was a no show in todays game! If he is not going to be in the game plan why did we keep him?

[LtBillsFan66]

I don't think it's starters vs. non-starters. I think it's personnel. Charlie Rogers looked terrible on the first one. Isn't he a RETURN specialist? What about Bryson and Morris. They are RB's... I think the team should consist of all defensive players. Backup d-backs and linebackers.

congrats casdhf on 1000 posts!!!

If we had better depth at the backer position I would say put in London Fletcher. He was a special teams demon coming into the league, I believe that he was a ST Captain at one time. Let him go in there and challege people and get them pumped like he does on defense. The only problem, like I said, is that we would be hurting at MLB if he got injured
