Wow Davis injured hamstring on ST assingment-why is he playing special teams!!!!

Antonio Cromartie returns kicks for the Jets.

Calm down people.

Look, returning kicks and covering kicks are two completely different things.
I can live with a game changer returning kicks and potentially getting injured, but COVERING kicks? That's the job of backups.

Returning kicks != covering kicks...
 
You are in a passing crazy league, and you are thin at CB. Do you put your best CB on ST if you can at all avoid it? I think not. However, this would take a little nuance to analyze and Tony is about as nuanced as a Rhino.

In this league, ok, at the end of the day, ok, you can't play your best CB on ST that way.
 
Didn't Vontae cramp up playing CB against the Patriots? Seems to get injured just playing.
 
Cornerback Vontae Davis suffered his hamstring injury with 9:43 remaining in the third quarter. The kicker — it happened on special teams, not defense. Davis was running downfield while blocking an opposing gunner when he pulled up lame and crumpled to the ground. Davis never returned to the game, and his availability for this week is unknown. The Texans picked on his replacement, Nolan Carroll, for the game-clinching touchdown. You have to wonder if Davis’ injury will make Tony Sparano reconsider his policy of playing crucial starters on special teams (though with only 46 players on game day, his options are limited).http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thed...d-10-other-observations-from-the-texans-game/

Well every coach in the NFL disagrees with you, but I guess you are entitled to your opinion
 
This is dumb no matter how you slice it
if we were deep at cb and nollan could actually cover good receivers then ok
but your team just gave up the 5th most passing yards in nfl history the week before!
And the main reason was because vontae had cramps..
so then you put him on Special teams the following week?

How many people here complaining would like to see Bush returning punts? I don´t have a problem with them playing ST but we should have someone better at that particular job, no doubt!
