Jeremy Green - ESPN Chat on Deuce

BRSaintsFan · 05-08-2007, 08:42 AM

I see Pittman's value coming in on 3rd down. Personally, I think that Deuce is underrated as a receiver out the backfield and in his ability to play on third down. However, Pittman's speed and versatility allow him to slide in on third downs when Reggie motions out to the slot or to flanker. Thus he will take much of the role Stecker did. However, my concern is exactly what Pak said. Pittman did not return kicks in college and doesn't seem to be a return man type. Now, due to the bevy of receivers on the roster and based on those that appear likely to be kept, Lewis may have seen his last days along with Stecker. So my concern is who will be returning kicks. Im thinking Henderson maybe, or Pittman might give it a shot.

As far as Deuce going anywhere, its definetly a rumor. It just has no basis behind it and is quite ridiculous from all angles. However, Pittman's presence does seem to mark the end for Stecker and/or Branch.
