 McDermott has become well versed at not really answering questions while answering questions.

Next stop, politics.  There's probably quite a few willing to vote for him...if just to get him out of OBD.

Better than the last time we saw him when he was moving in the wrong (opposite) direction relative to the ball that was bouncing around on the turf.

It will be interesting to see the roster gymnastics when he is back healthy again. 

 

In my opinion he will be needed in the playoffs especially, we can just have Shakir fair catching punts without any threat of a return when the margins are smaller. 

 

It is now looking like Shavers, Davis and Shakir being the primary trio, then Cooks and Coleman and Palmer still being injured. 

 

With Hardman's deep threat option and ST ability it looks likely that Coleman would be the odd man out going forward if 6WR are active and healthy on gameday.

He was never signed. He was never released from the Practice Squad. He was cut after Training Camp. Then they signed him to the Practice Squad. He has stayed there ever since. He was elevated 3 times. 

 

That's it. No release/waive involved. No signing. Just PS with 3 elevations.

 

Was this before they exercised his 4th year option?

Fumbles concern me on the return always been his thing. Playoffs will be close one possession games so can’t be giving opposition an extra possession

10 fumbles in 94 career NFL games. Is that a lot?

This moves the proverbial needle proverbially none.

I'd rather go with Cooks at WR and Shakir fair catching. I'd be fine with bring Hardman back to the 53 and putting Palmer on IR as he has been a massive disappointment.  Bring up Hardman and let him return kickoff with Davis.

If you look at rate of fumble/return it looks much worse. Not to mention you'd think being brand new first start, hed be dialed in on his best behavior.

 

I dont even disagree with rolling with him, high risk/high reward in return game, but thats the position were in. We need that explosive return upside on kicks. Also, think he could open field up for everyone else, even if its a miss on a deep ball attempt. That one in his one game was clooooose

One every 9 games so we have 8 in the pocket. 😀

Apparently he's on Beane's 'naughty' list.  He didn't rate a walking (turf toe) shoe. 🙁
