Perfect time to use Erickson ?

Heck , make him Geno's backup..ok..not that.  He'd get killed under those 300 lb linemen ..  lol

Actually I have never really had issue with Erickson. He's not the greatest return guy, but he damned sure ain't the worse either. He's been a good, solid player in just about any role they've had him in. 

This isn't so much a "rah rah rah!" notion.

It's just accepting the fact that he isn't stellar but gets the job done.

Just like we were waiting for Boyd to be consistent and reliable going into this season.

He has and it's paid off.

I doubt Erickson will be anything more than a 3rd - 4th option receiver.

Not even comparing him to Boyd here talent-wise.

It just feels like he could be utilized in the offense with Ross being out and maybe some gadget plays.

We've had players in the past who have done this so it really isn't much of a stretch in reasoning.
