[QUOTE="eers1foru_rivals, post: 129337396, member: 1797561"] I'm gonna give Dana the benefit of the doubt (Yeah that's right I can do that when he hasn't disappointed me this season ...yet!) and say maybe Dana was moving Crest around to all of the offensive skill positions to get him to learn the offense. Most of the passes in this offense are anticipatory in nature. Which means you have to know every skill position on the field in order to make the correct read and where a player is going to be open. What better way to learn that than to have to play all of those positions? If Crest's issues truly are mental this wouldn't hurt anything as obviously his arm and legs aren't the issue. As for punt and kickoff returns, I think it's simply because we suck so badly at those positions and he showed signs last season that he could be serviceable at it. Now that some of the other guys have gotten some reps at it they don't need him there either. [/QUOTE]
