Until he starts showin vast improvement I ain't gonna be supportin him and defendin him like I have all off-season. At this point I wonder what it would have been like to get a power RB first round....I think that might have helped more.

BuFu

wtf?? he's made two nice catches, not his fault the first game he gets the ball thrown behind him to miss a catch...and i was to fustrated to see what happened monday....sure he's being a retard on special teams but he hasn't done anything for him not to get deactivated.....both of his catchs have been first downs too.......cut morey lol, and activate willie

That's the catch 22 right there...if you deactivate him or bench him in favor of Willie, then you lose the progress he's made so far. On the flip side, you never know what Willie can do either and maybe he's the better man right now. For the forseeable future though, Santonio will continue to get the nod unless he self implodes or gets injured.

lets be honest, Santonio hasnt had an opportunity to do anything on special teams, hes gonna be good, he plays alot like marvin harrison and has incredible speed and i cant wait to see him in open field. Willie is gonna be good to, i would activate him because he was impressive in preseason and has amazing PR ability. I dont know why we dont just cut duce...hes a bum, Chidi was more important to the team than duce.

Duce is insurance right now for us. If Najeh pans out and plays well, we could make Duce inactive on a regular basis and use that roster spot for Willie. Holmes just needs to learn to use better judgement in following his blockers and when to return or field a kick vs when to let it go.
