How that is a bad thing is beyond me. The Bengals have been lucky this past decade with both Erickson and even Tate not fumbling every other game. Some of you seem to undervalue ball security in favor of the occasional TD. Guess what happens when the returner fumbles a lot? The other team gets a huge shot at getting the ball right back. Personally I'm no fan of that scenario of trading the occasional TD for less ball security..
I watched Erickson return 2 punts in preseason for TDs a couple years back.
from.that point on hes had the return job.
nobody is undervaluing ball security.
but at some point the guy has to be able
to at least take one back to the house.
like I said you can secure the ball and still be
a threat and have the ability to put a fear in coverage teams.
