ABSOLUTELY. I actually liked how he looked running the ball too. But he's been a beast as a punt returner and special teamer.

havent seen him return. but if true, im all for it. we have no one who scares opposing teams

He has 8 Punt Returns for a 9.5 average but he has 3 fumbles on Punt Returns.

He killed the Cowboys special teams in preseason.

I'm interested in looking because when he has the ball he looked insanely fast and strong. I know he also has security issues.

There are like 27 teams ahead of us in the waiver line. One of those teams will likely pick him up.

If he could hold on to the ball yes. But we are turning it over enough for my tastes.

He's a practice squad guy, in my opinion. 49ers starting RB is hurt too, so for them to cut a backup RB says something.

does Dallas even have anybody they can dump to sign another player?

If he falls to us, why not? He may actually get us a couple of yards on returns.

I liked his running style and I think he could be a good returner some day. But, his technique on returns was very poor. He would take bad angles on the ball and started to muff punts because of it.

The problem is that his regular position is tailback and we have 4 tailbacks right now with Randle hurt and facing possible suspension. He's probably nowhere near where he needs to be in pass pro, so you're basically using him just for punt returns. I wouldn't hate the pickup, but his technique has to improve dramatically in punt returns. Even still, the Cowboys have bigger fish to fry.
