It is ignorant to believe that our coverage was any better with santana. santana is just better, coverage still sucked. And sucked really bad. I’ll agree moss’ numbers were FAR better than ARE’s, but i would not classify them as “magic.”

6 returns for 124 yds, 20.7 avg., for 1 td. (and that AVG is inflated due to an 80 yd return, if you take that away you have…)
5 returns for 44 yds, 8.8 avg, for 0 tds (good, but not “MAGIC” and these numbers are only 3yrd avg. better than ARE)

So, if you want to lay blame, put it on Danny Smith. He’s the guy whom puts ARE out there, with piss poor coverage. Im just glad there werent more fumbles. I mean give ARE more than .005ms to move before being touched and i know we’d all be singing a different tune. It amazes me that people refuse to look at the root of the problem. Its NOT the returner. its the piss poor coverage against the opposing teams gunners.
and furthermore would you want to risk santanas health for 3yd avg + over ARE? if you say yes, then maybe you dont understand the risks as a punt returner.

Dear TheThurgodMarshl,

Your arguement in defense of Randle El’s punt returning abilities would be sound, if not for the fact that seemingly every time Santana Moss returned a punt in 2008 magic happened.

When speaking of our lack luster punt return, and especially when referring to Antwaan Randle El’s performance, not one soul seems to bring up that the 2008 punt return coverage was the absolute worse i’ve seen from the redskins, ever. i’m aware that in 2006 and 2007, it wasnt much better, but our return avg. is not ONLY ARE’s fault. We need better blocking, to make punt returns offensive, there is a reason the coaches have him there.

Anyone who says ANY wide receiver is a “bust” after one year is a complete mongoloid and should be shot on site forthwith accordingly; as they are a waste of human flesh and matter, and are breathing our air without paying a tax to do so. scumbags.

Correction: Mike Williams was never living on Derrick Dockery’s couch! He was there visiting with his best friend helping with his God daughter and the Dockery’s soon to be born baby. Don’t exaggerate his story. Not only that, he did not “eat” his way out of the NFL. You are piecing together a story based on different things you’ve heard. His chances are great and I couldnt be more excited for him!
