Having two rookies returning kicks is a risky plan, but we'll see how Ginn and Booker turn out once the real games start. Baptism by fire...

Getting Brown more touches is a good idea, even as a kick-off returner. Brown may not be the most elusive guy, but he is an intimidating runner at 230 lbs. Think about Brown, who has a good straight line speed, having a 10- to 15-yard running start returning kick offs. Yes, flyers on the coverage team will want to knock Brown out of the game, but Brown should be delivering hits more than receiving them.

I think Jason Allen should have a chance to catch on with another team.

Seriously, the reason why Brown and Chatman are back there is because they go upfield instead of running East and West. Ginn still wants to run E & W and that doesn't cut it in the pros.

I am thinking that as far as Cam is concerned, if Brown gets hurt, Chatman can fill in with Booker as the 3rd down back.
