53 Man Roster

[Whatever]

Hard to justify a guy who's major quality is returning when we got guys that bring far more as a WR, but also we have guys who can cover the return duties.

They've commented on every player who has an ounce of return ability in every post draft press conference since forever.  How many kicks have you seen Gio and Boyd returning?  Not many.  It's their job in those interviews to hype these kids up to get the fanbase excited and buying tickets.  The only way Erickson gets cut is one of the rookies wins the return job, which won't be easy, and if it's even close, Erickson will get the job by default.

The Bengals drafted John Ross 9th overall, and they are going to revamp the playbook to take advantage of his skill set.  The only WR we have with a similar skill set is Erickson.  If they cut him, they have to scrap a section of the playbook.  That doesn't make much logical sense.

Speaking of not making logical sense, why would you keep Core on the 53 when you can most likely get him on the PS and keep both players?
