To be clear, we don't have two return men in the endzone, and him Wilson are standing on each side. He's the lone man back.
I first noticed this, surprisingly enough, right after Brandon Wilson's 101 yard return. The very next return Erickson was the lone kick returner. I had no asbolute no explanation for this other than that Wilson must have been hurt. But he wasn't.
For some strange reason, we decided to replace a guy who just had 101 yard return on the very next return with Alex Erickson. (WTF?????)
Saw Erickson back to return yesterday to in the 1st half too (did not watch 2nd half). So what gives?
This makes zero sense to me.
I think Wilson has been playing more defensive snaps and after long drives they don't want him to have to do KR. Also, they mentioned he was battling a hamstring injury yesterday. Think we could have someone better than Erickson though.
