My only guess is that, if they thought he was really good at it, they might let him return some during the playoffs. He has 3 career plays at punt returner, all were fair catches, so I don't really get the point.

He's quick and can tackle very well for a corner so having him around the line could help against the run and maybe halfback screens.


Yup! This is especially true since we haven't been hearing too many good things about the LB position. Hope RR can pull a rabbit out his arse when the bad guys start running the ball.

He has great hands. He'd probably just be the guy when it's going to be a pooch kick inside the 20 and it's almost an automatic fair catch. Lance Moore had that role.

I mean, we never really return punts anyway. May as well secure it

Does Butler make the active 53 at this point? He certainly doens't deserve it.

The NFL isn't about brownie points and getting your Rudy on. It's about determining the 53 men with the best skillset to help you win. If they feel he's there then he's earned it.

The annoying thing is we still have no idea what Butler's capable of when healthy.

He's been healthy while under contract for the Saints for like a total of a week.

I heard Lawrence Taylor saw him practice and cried tears of joy.

Speaking of Lance Moore-abandoned roles, I wonder who the emergency 3rd QB will be on gamedays.
