hes basically been handed the job and the truth is no TDs
over 2 yrs isnt going to cut it.
if Erickson  on KO gets good blocking and finds a crease
he gets yards.
but he lacks that extra gear to turn that 30 yd return into a TD.
hes not really good at stop starting and making guys miss.

Finally someone else is seeing the same thing I am. Erickson is not the great returner that some believe that he is but more of the credit should go to the blocking of the kick return team because of the holes they create. If Erickson had any speed he would have at least five returns go for touchdowns. How often do you see him get an big return then get brought down from behind or on the sideline about ten yards from scoring? Its hardly any elusiveness and room he makes on his own but more heroes the seam now make someone miss and score. I just hope we can have Phillips return punts and either he or Wilson return kickoffs.
