View topic - Who knew there was such a thing?

So I read on NFL.com that the depth chart now indicates that Wheaton is the kick returner and the backup punt returner behind AB, although it hasn't been reflected on the Steelers site as far as I can see. OK. We'll see how that works out.

The more interesting factoid is that Jacoby "UH OH" Jones is apparently listed as the third string kick returner, behind Wheaton and, presumably, Todman. Why the fuck would they even keep him? I mean I was beating the drum to get rid of Archer as much as any, and based solely on what I saw from jones in the past (2-3 years ago) I figured it would be an upgrade. That turned out to not be the case and somebody presciently pointed out on this site last week that Jones was a turnover waiting to happen. Turns out he was two turnovers waiting to happen. Is Tomlin so stuffed with false pride that he can't just cut dead weight? Isn't there some better way to use the 53rd roster spot besides having a THIRD STRING KICK RETURNER WHO CAN'T HANG ON TO THE FOOTBALL AND WILL LIKELY NEVER SEE THE FIELD AGAIN IN HIS CAREER?
