Insult to Injury/Cut
So we all know why Holmgren didn't put Forsett back on punt and kick returns. Well it looks like thats exactly his role in Indianopolis. I for one am at a crossroads on this. I want the best for the guy, but I also want him on this team. Damn it.
Claimed off waivers from Seattle earlier in the week, the rookie running back is expected to handle kickoff and punt return duties Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts meet the Minnesota Vikings in the Metrodome.
"It's something I've been doing for a while, so it's not a big adjustment,'' Forsett said Friday. "I've just got to catch the ball and learn the different plays we have.
"It's a pretty simple scheme and one that's worked.''
Forsett, the Seahawks' seventh-round draft pick, has only moderate experience as a kick returner. He returned only 10 kickoffs during his four-year career at California and six for a 23.5-yard average for Seattle during the preseason.
The Colts apparently like Forsett's potential enough that they waived Courtney Roby on Thursday. The former North Central High School and Indiana University standout averaged 20.5 yards on five kickoff returns against Chicago.

Wow
Waived a guy that went to my schools’ rival high school.
I was the poor bastard that had Tom Brady on my Field Gulls fantasy football team.
