I don't know if anyone has posted about the guy. I haven't been able to be here much. But have you noticed how FAST the kid is? I mean, GEEZ, he pulled away from the crowd at a speed i don't think i've ever seen, on that 80 yard punt return. It was like the D was standing still. If he can just learn to NOT muff returns, he could be our version of Hester on returns.

And he's not like Desmond Howard in the way that he can actaully be a good WR as well. He's shown some flashes in that respect.

Now it's obvious his snow tires are on for the winter.

I say that Cobb should spend practice doing nothing but taking punts with people running full-bore at him until he doesn't muff 50 in a row. Once he's got the muffs taken care of he's a piece of the puzzle we've been missing for a long time. I'm all for him making amazing plays on offense, but when he muffs punts it makes me die a little inside.

As for the Hester comparisons, the Bears just seem to block on a different level on special teams. Not to take anything away from Hester, but he owes some of his success to excellent special teams blocking. However, I almost have to wonder if the Packers special teams will be inspired and motivated by Cobb... Kind of like how a special quarterback will take the game of his receivers to a new level.

(Good points, however.)

So if Cobb dives for the ball after muffing a punt, does that make him a muff diver?
