He hasn't returned a kick yet, has he?

I thought originally it was to get Erickson more offensive snaps but he's only taken 33 offensive snaps through 3 games.
That makes me think that while Erickson has been a good overall returner, he's not as much of a threat to flip the field or take it to the house.
Darius Phillips had that ability. John Ross was an elite KR in college too and obviously has the home run threat ability, so he might be used in the KR role with Phillips gone but I doubt it since the team likely wouldn't want to risk his health.
No doubt... that the other guys are more explosive but, Erickson will consistently give you the yards (so actually, he DOES flip the field).

Thanks, man.
