Boyd was good at it in college, but we were so thin last year at WR they didn't want top risk using him. Pacman can return punts and with the youth a CB maybe we see him do it more.

As for Erickson being Ross's back up, that is laughable. Erickson is nothing like Ross, other than he is small. Alex ERickson is a slot receiver and nothing else, Ross will play all over the field. Malone is much closer to Ross than Erickson. You don't put core on the PS because he has decent game tape and you don't risk losing him. Heading in to the draft they were referring to him as the future 2 possibly. You don't put him on PS if you have any plans of cutting bait with LaFell next year.

It makes no sense to cut a conference leading return man when they will get a lot more touches than a #5-6 WR and your top 4 WR's are set for the next 2 years.  What exactly makes Core a more talented prospect?  Erickson is a better route runner and is faster(4.44 to 4.47 in the 40).  Core is a better jump ball target, but that's it.

Erickson and Ross have great footwork and use it tocreate seperation.  Erickson ran a lot of the red zone routes in preseason that you saw Ross run at Washington.  Ross obviously has better top end speed, but it's not like Erickson is slow.  Erickson is 6'0", btw, which is far from small.  Statements like this make it seem like you are just jock riding Core and really don't have a clue about what Erickson brings to the table.  Erickson is a better slot guy, but 6'0" and 4.44 in the 40 is big and fast enough to play outside if needed.  Malone is a bad route runner, fyi.  The only thing he is remotely similar in is speed.  Finally, if I was targeting Ross in the draft, it would make sense to put up a smokescreen by talking up my current WR'S.
