Re: How Things Change
Hmmm. And I thought that having our two starting cornerbacks out with injuries vs one of the most prolific passers in history was a major part of the problem. While I am not denying that we have problems in many areas to include coaching and depth of talent, i can't believe how little people consider our devastating injuries this year. Without these injuries our record would probably have been at least 8-8, if not 9-7 and possibly 10-6.
And Sams belongs on the list, his return abilities are better than Figurs and his ball handling skills completely superior. Our kick returns, especially punts, are WAY OFF as are the miscues on punt and kick returns.

Re: How Things Change
you definitely have to include BJ Sams on that list. He is actually one of the best return men in the league. He was #1 several years ago and was pretty high up last year when he was playing. He practically won the Atlanta game for us.
I hope they re-sign him and force a competition between he and Figurs.
Figurs has a few fast breaks but mostly dud runs.
Sams consistently got us VERY good field position and had virtually no ball handling problems as far as I could remember.
Sams was and is an important part of the winning equation.

Re: How Things Change
I just dislike the guys inability to call a fair catch. He seems rogue at times. He ends up getting killed quite a bit. I admire his attempts at trying to make something out of nothing, but for the most part, would it kill you to call a fair catch?
If Figurs can learn how to hold onto the fucking ball, I think he is the better of the two.I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman!
