He's a great gunner and good blocker, so possibly that saves him.
Anyways- I want Robinson or Crawford doing kick off returns with Paul blocking for them. |

1 - Niles Paul should have made that catch, but in fairness the pass should have been thrown earlier.
2 - Niles should also know that he cannot be held up like that as a KR, however let's not pretend that Banks did not fumble on a regular basis. Giving the coverage team an opportunity to get a hat on the ball is going to cause a fumble, no matter who's there.
3 - Niles Paul has added value as he plays an important role on offense playing a significant number of snaps, and he's become a very good gunner. Other than Lorenzo Alexander, he's the most valuable STs guy aside from the three involved in actually kicking (LS, P, K).
Niles Paul isn't going anywhere. Considering how many opportunities Banks got even with all of his fumbles, we shouldn't be asking for Paul's job if most were willing to give Banks a pass. Fact of the matter is Paul is much more valuable to this team than Banks. Give him a game or two to get comfortable back there.

no doubt. I'm not even lobbying for Banks here. I'm saying I want a guy like Crawford or Robinson (maybe Helu next year) back there with Paul. We need break away speed back there. Jacoby jones won the ravens the steelers game a month ago.

I'm all in at this point--Whomever, whatever it takes .. 
PS--He's only likely to have one or two opportunities a game .. I'm just talking kickoff returns with Crawford doing the punt returns. |

id rather see Robinson do it or Crawford do both.
Our offense is not the same without Garcon out there. He's also playing hurt. No need to risk more injury with our #1 wr
