Why is this guy still collecting a paycheck? Seriously. Words cannot express how horrible he is and only proves that when he does have a decent runback, it's a fluke. I mean, he fair catches punts with NO ONE around him but he runs out kickoffs he has no business running out constantly putting the offense in terrible field position. When he fair catches at the 5 yard line, I just want to reach in a choke him out. I mean, does he not know how to bluff the coverage guys then let the ball bounce behind him for a touchback? Apparently not. When the season's over, he should be the first to go.

Also the one kickoff return where he danced around and then was tackled on the 8-9 yrd line really hurt us. If he just went forward on that kickoff we would have started the drive on around 18 instead of the 8-9 yrd line. They held us and we punted from the endzone. Seattle started their next drive on our 39.

He at least won us a game but more times than not he's been useless on return duties. Apparently he's never been taught to stand on the 10 and if you have to step backwards at all for a punt return then don't catch it. His kickoff return decisions are also terrible, he's had too many plays like that 8 yard return last night. Just inexcusably stupid.

He's due $3.2 million next year. If they keep him and pay him this I will officially divorce myself from this team.

He is what he is and that is not good. He has been stealing NFL paychecks since 2007.

Not enough can be said about this kickoff return. The momentum completely shifted with that turd of a return. It led to BA reaching into the playbook with LT and going for a hail mary deep in our end zone, followed by two incompletions by Lindley. Next thing, we're punting and give SEA good field position, which of course, translated into a TD drive and we're down 14-3.

Not defending Ginn (I'll never do that) but BA getting rid of Coach Spencer was a big mistake.

Our special teams have sucked since Coach Spencer was let go.

We weren't all that great under Spencer either.

He's terrible and gone for sure. Hopefully he takes Butler with him. Our punt teams suck!

The sad thing is that he's been making the same bad decisions each and every game. I don't understand that. Why isn't the ST coach coaching him up more and telling him how to make his decisions? Its disturbing.

Really? Didn't PP return 4 punts for touchdowns under Spencer?

Didn't Bethel go to the Pro-Bowl under Spencer?

Not sure of the answer to those questions myself.
