Dallas has been reluctant to use him on punt returns because of the potential of him fumbling. Since Beasley's potential to do the same was manifested Sunday, I think it's time to turn all of the returns over to the more dynamic returner.

It is time.

This team needs to look under every rock.

This also wouldn't fall under change for change sake. Lucky is on the roster to eventually man the position.

Let the kid play.

Not according to Stephen. Heard him on the Fan earlier and he said he just made a mistake, but he's a competitor yadda yadda and would do better next time.

That's why we have lost 4 straight. No balls on this team!

Antonio Brown returns kicks for Pittsburgh. Why?

Because they play their best people at all positions.

Meanwhile we play Beasely for safety reasons. So much for that.

I do agree to an extent. We mostly seem to be content to stick with what we've been doing instead of take a chance.

Look at the RB position. Possibly the best thing that happened to it Sunday was Randle getting hurt.

Whitehead is a return man. The only reason Beasley was back there was to not make mistakes. He made one, so let's give the return man a chance instead.

Many years ago, myself along with several friends decided to do some spelunking,, which is the term used for dropping in to underground caverns or caves.
We were young and reckless, and our only light source once we got down in to total pitch black were bic lighters,, we barely got out before the lighters ran out.
My analogy is that any spark of light at this point is a flame thrower for this team.
Lucky is a spark, lets not overlook that now.

I have been clamoring for Lucky back there since game 1. Our field position has sucked. We are afraid of change. Cmike, Lucky, it goes on and on. Escobar?? We can't find a play for him?

Its really telling now that Romo runs this team. He has made lots of careers and should be the MVP every year, because he is that.

I was a little behind you. I didn't start calling for more Lucky until after we lost Dunbar. At that point, it didn't seem to me that the risk outweighed the potential reward.

In a close game at this point in the season, and once he comes back healthy, I'd probably put Dez back there in a couple of instances.

We probably played Beasley because, at least before this last game, he always caught the ball. Lucky had problems doing that previously.

It may be Lucky's time, but I think some really overestimate the impact he's going to have. I don't really expect much of a difference, at all, to be honest.

This.

A veteran with limited return ability who makes mistakes versus a rookie with tremendous return ability who offers the potential of a mistake. Hmmmm...as long as mistakes will be made, I'm taking the player with tremendous playmaking ability.
