Bring Reggie Swinton back next season?

[abomb]

He just signed with some arena league team, forget which team.

Chicago Rush. Damn I love Google News search.

Hopefully Redmond will come back healthy. He looked great until he got hurt.

Is this a trick question?

Swinton sucks.

I simply DO NOT understand this thread!!!

1.
It's not like Green has a reputation of not benching players if they do not perform. If we had a better option, don't you think Green would have used him? There hasn't been an altenative to Swinton this season so why would you get rid of him before a better alternative have been found?

2. I'll agree that Swinton's return style at times looks very weird, but look at the stats! Besides Kasper 3 years ago, Swinton is both THE best punt returner AND THE best KICK returner over the last 3 years. As long as he's an improvement - I don't care if he returns kicks running backwards.

Kickoff Returns

Kevin Kasper 5 136 27.2 37 0

3. Our kick coverage suck. This team surrenders 28.3 yards a kick (Can't find the stat,but pretty sure that it's the worst in the league). Since the coverage and running lanes are terrible on kick-offs - is it possible that it might not be optimal on returns? My point is that the performance of this ST unit does not help Swinton a whole lot. You connot judge our returngame by looking at Swinton alone.

With that said! I would love if we used a 3rd or 4th rounder on a superior ruturn man to challenge Swinton. But until Redmond is back at 100% or a draft pick has shown what he can do on the field I would keep Swinton

I say no. Resign Redmond and let Swinton go... Dances to much.... Even BJ did better in punt returns...

Devin Hester in the third round guys. I bet Al Davis is already drooling over this speedster.

That's not true. Swinton did just fine by the numbers, but he's annoyingly slow and dancy running. But BJ sucks at returning, out loud.

Man, I wish JR didn't get hurt.

Swinton SUCKS... too slow to return kicks in HS

Re-Sign JR and give Damien Anderson a chance... he is still fast and knows how to look for a hole, rather than run into the back of the blockers ahead of him...Swinton was (is) a JOKE!
