Richard Rodgers (three catches, 30 yards) turned in a better statistical afternoon, though Janis caught fewer than 50% of the seven passes thrown his way. He also had one drop and failed to drag both feet in bounds on a pass along the right sideline.

Later, in the third quarter, Janis allowed a punt to go right through his hands and nearly cost his team a touchdown. But replays showed the ball never touched him; Janis was off the hook.

"The ball just had this weird spin on it," Janis said. "I thought it was coming right down, and then the last 10 feet of it, it took a hard curve. I tried to go for it, and fortunately I didn't touch it. Not even a little bit. Got lucky."

With the injury to Nelson, he could still make the 53, but he's going to have to step it up.

If we are to hold the "whiff" that passed replay against him, then we also need to hold the mishandled kickoff against Montgomery - no harm no foul in both cases. (Montgomery must have been stat-whoring - going for the phantom 110 yard kick return when he stepped on the back line hahahaha - imagine if he's not touching the line, and that kick bounces off his gut, all the way OUT of the endzone to a coverage guy inside the 5 yard line).

I'd be very surprised if we didn't see Hyde returning punts, considering Nelson's injury and each WR moving up a spot - as well as Hyde's borderline excellence last season.
