Ted Ginn hasn't been returning kicks all year. Patrick Cobbs has, and Cobbs tore his ACL last game, so they need a replacement.
Devone Bess returns punts and he's not exactly a game breaker. The team needs to keep Ginn as the #1 receiver until they upgrade there sometime soon I hope, can't use our #1 receiver eventhough it is Ted and risk injuries.

Let him be somebody else's problem. He'd fit right in with the Oakland paradigm.

Yeah that is true on the contract aspect of things.

On the football field, he would be a huge improvement in what we have though.

We are 28th or so in kick returns. Manning and the offense is deadly already but imagine if they got good field position (if the kick return yards were top 10). That would be a huge boost.

I'm excited for some of the matchups this week. I want to see how Atlanta does after a dominating performance last week.

Also, I'm really pulling for Henne and the Dolphins to get on a streak here despite a tough schedule coming up. When will someone figure out how to stop the wildcat???

You can throw the Giants in the over-rated category. Ghost-defense against the Saints.

Watching NYG/NO and WAS/KC.

The Redskins are awful on offense. Portis looks like he's 42 years old. Campbell can't make a decision and they don't have a reciever that can get open. They're going to try a 53 yd field goal at the end of the half to try and tie it up at 3. Oh no...they go for the TD and Campbell can't even get the ball to the end zone. Brandon Flowers had a legitimate chance at a TD there. Awful.

New Orleans is unstoppable and Eli Manning is twice the QB he was when he won the Super Bowl. Great game, but I don't see the Giants being dynamic enough on offense to overcome a 17 point deficit against a team they can't stop.

Saints fans ought to be excited.

Redskins should put in Collins... can't be any worse!

I'll make a couple excuses for the Giants...this is their 4th road game in 5 weeks and the Saints are coming off a bye week. So they were at a disadvantage going into this game. But the Saints are making the Giants look like a team who's been scrimmaging against JV teams for 3 weeks with the way their offence is moving the ball. It looks like the NFC playoffs could be going through domes as the Saints and Vikings both look solid.

You want a true over rated team....The Ravens. They got all kinds of hype for beating KC, Cleveland, and San Diego. The real teams are putting them back in their place.

Sounds like nobody can make an extra point these days, lots of blocked extra points and short field goals so far.

Marques Colston needs a couple more TDs for my Fantasy game to get blown away. I need Hasselback to play well vs the Cards. I wish I went down to Seattle for that game.

Who do you think is going to win the Bears vs Falcons game? I'll say Falcons by 10.

[Machiavelli]

Wait....what just happened in the Steelers game? 4th and 1, short, but given the 1st down?

Agree, I say the Falcons by 10 as well.

I just turned that off. I have Pittsburgh in my survivors pool, so hopefully they get everything their way.

Derek Anderson is having a hell of a great game today. 1 minute to halftime and he already has 2 completions for 14 yards. Brady Quinn just can't compete with numbers like that.

I think he's on pace to double his completion total from last week!

[Displaced Flames fan]

Ask and ye shall receive! Todd Collins in the game for the Redskins.

I think he's capable. We'll see with this offense.

[transplant99]

Im watching the vikings manhandle the Ravens....GB nor chicago have a chance if this is how they play on both sides of the ball the rest of the year.

6/14, 75 yds and 1 TD now against the Steeler's defence. Quinn could not do that.

[iggnuef]

Can't wait for the sunday nighter.......my Falcons vs my Dad's Bears

[Sylvanfan]

Save face baby, Chiefs might get their one and only win of the season here. Oh man the Red Skins have had a slew of easy games, and now they could be 2-4. Bye bye Zorn.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Holy crap the Vikings look like the Flames in Chicago.
