He really has astounding vision for the plays...

Amen...

When they showed the replay of him awaiting the punt - where he purposefully took his eyes off the ball to assess whether / where he might have a running as the Viles ran toward him to cover the punt - it told me so much about him...

I used to play a bit of baseball, and when fielding a fly ball w guys on base, I would sometimes try to take a quick look as to whether the runners were tagging up, and, well, let's just say that it didn't always end w the baseball equivalent of Eddie's touchdown return...

Hahaha, that's what I was thinking. If he takes his eyes off the ball and fumbles one at a crucial time, I doubt anyone would see that as a good thing. However, if he continues to make returns like he has, he would definitely help his NFL chances as both a strong DB and strong return man.

OJ Howard is a team guy. He's not getting a lot of touches but is not going around sulking. I hope the other younger guys watch and learn from him.
