Did anyone else see that guy on the Saints trying to catch Tampa's punt returner? He is someone I didn't recogonize and he was slow as hell.

How the hell does someone with no wheels at all make the NFL as a Special Teamer??

Greg Fassit. CB signed off of the practice squad. He won't be around for long.

Was it #38 Greg Fassit? He looked like he had cinder block shoes on during the punt return.

Funny

Check out the video Michael Spurlock Punt Return

I think its #38. He just seems extra slow to me.

Honestly, it looks like he was gassed. Like he ran out of stamina. I hope not. Conditioning should be a priority for Practice Squad guys.

It was a punt return...Morstead was kicking and he is not the guy that I think the OP is referring to. Looked to be the new DB Fassit that overpursued and got beat in a foot race and gave up.

He wasn't the only one who overran the coverage. It was very poor coverage and the kick wasn't the greatest.

Wow, i've never seen a professional athlete look so awkward while running, especially a cornerback, good god!

I'm pretty sure I've seen that style of running at the Special Olympics.

That kick was just as bad as the coverage. It had about a 2.2 hangtime
