We still have Boston Scott. He's on the practice squad.

You know what I mean.

They probably felt Lewis was more game ready. He knew the passing plays and could also return kicks. Perhaps they felt Scott just needed more time to get the running scheme down. I think Scott is more in heir long term plans. Just like when I asked Strief about Rick Leonard going to the practice squad. He said he told Leonard that the practice squad is a good thing so don't get down about it.

I get all that, I was just making a point that TLL was not the answer at kick returner over the likes of Scott and Tate. So if Scott is better off on the PS, ok, but Tate showed way better than TLL. And is also a better receiver I would imagine.

It's looking like Ginn and Kamara may be handling those duties.

Or they could still bring back Tate, I suppose.

Put me in the camp that hates that idea. Kamara is far too valuable to field punts and Ginn has a case of the butter fingers.

I'd prefer plan C (Tate) + IMO he had a solid camp. If coaches like what they've seen from Meredith in practice, it's quite possible he is activated on Sunday.
