The Jets will probably take Lito Sheppard who could be a draft bust, who knows who the Bills will take, and I think the Pats will go with a good player.
Of course
Initially, I gave all those stats. But I wasn't sure if anyone really wanted all that info.
Note: players with less than 10 returns aren't counted on this list (but I can give you a link to one that does). To get TOTAL ATTEMPTS, just add the number of FAIR CATCHES to the number of RETURNS.
Ogden had 11 FC's in 44 attempts.

Actually, if you take a look at those numbers it really does a lot to exhonerate Ogden. He had one of the higher number of PR's in the league and only fair caught about a third of the time. (He actually had 11FC's in 32 attempts.) Not only that, but if you look at some of the supposed "elite" returners out there they rank nowhere near Ogden. Tim Dwight fair caught half the time, with fewer PR's, and had a lower return average. Az Hakim fair caught a third of the time, with slightly more PR's, and had over a yard and a half lower average then Ogden. Even Steve Smith of Carolina, the guy who went to the Pro Bowl, had a lower average than Ogden, with only two more PR's and only one less FC. On top of all of that, only Dwight and Smith scored touchdowns; one each.
Before you all start bashing Ogden again, it might be wise to take a look at the stats and think about what an incredible bargain the guy is compared to some of the above mentioned individuals who aren't even producing as well. Both Dwight and Hakim wound up getting huge contracts this year and both of them started as many games as Ogden last year: zero.

Yes but 'average' isn't good enough for a team that puts one of the highest emphasis' on special teams in the league. There was too many boneheaded plays by him to allow him to do anything more then compete for the job which I am sure Minor could easily beat him for.

So, is one TD supposed to make his whole career?
Yes, he did take it to the house, but, it is clear that that was much closer to the exeption, than the rule with Ogden.
We need to upgrade this position this year.
One of the things I got livid about with Wanny last year was that he would drop little hints about not being pleased with Ogden, but, would turn around and put him right back there to be mediocre once again.
I see this as more of an insurance policy for us, in case we can not find someone to replace him.
I fully do not expext him to make the team this year.
