In what can only be read as a vote of no-confidence in WR Albert Johnson, the Dolphins are bringing in return specialist Craig Yeast for a visit to the facilities.
Not that we'll sign him...he's just visiting.
But here's the skinny on Yeast from what I can remember. He played for the Jets last year and was signed by them when Santana Moss, their planned returner, went down with the injury. He did remarkably well too...he didn't lead the league in KR yards per but he came awefully close. Either way however they got a shot at Chad Morton and replaced Yeast with Morton, who not only is a good returner but also has some versatility in him for offense. I had a friend that was a Jets fan and he was pleasantly surprised at what Yeast was doing.
Well either way in two games Albert Johnson has shown that he's either making mental errors, or concentrating so much on not making mental errors that he's not returning the ball so well. Aside from that, ACLs typically take 2 years for full recovery so he might be a year away from making a nice impact with the team. I doubt his release would garner much attention either. If Yeast can come in, show that he can make great decisions and run decently...I'm thinking he might be our new returner.
