Also only 2 PRs in the NFL had more fumbles than Erickson. He was also top 10 in fair catches. If we aren't looking at getting better at PR then we should and I have a feeling Simmons is.
And what happened to coincide with that drop in production last year? Was there not a pretty big turnover on special teams last year or 2? A returner is only as good as his blockers. I think Erickson has shown when his ST mates do their job, he is plenty capable as a returner. He didn't lead the AFC one year by accident.
