So true! Everyone cries for change and when it doesn't work they start crying for the old guy. So funny.

Frost had a snap go right through his hands and out of the endzone resulting in a safety yesterday. I think either way we were screwed.

2 Points versus 10. hhhhhhhmmmmmm.......

Yeah I will stick with the rookie because there is room for development.

Really, 2 points versus 3.

If you watched the hang time counter they had up on the Bush return, it was almost 5 seconds. *IF* it was Brooks' fault, it was because he was supposed to punt directionally (and didn't) and the coverage was cheating to the side he was supposed to kick to.

I haven't heard anything about whether that was Brooks' fault, though. The hang time on that punt was good and the coverage was AWFUL. They got sealed off from the hash over to the sideline. That punt with that coverage could have been returned for a touchdown by most returners in the NFL.

The blocking on punt returns has also been AWFUL. ARE hasn't been stellar, but then again he has had little to work with.

For those arguing that Frost "outkicked" Brooks in the preseason, look at the net and not the actual yardage of the kicks. Brooks' net was longer and his actual kicks were shorter on average. This was because he put his punts up higher and didn't outkick coverage. That's something frost did with regularity. Lots of shanks, lots of outkicked coverages.

Seriously, we play one of the most dangerous returners in the NFL and the rook drops a hold and Frost is suddenly jumping Jesus on a pogo stick.
