His coverage skills are lacking and we needed the roster spot for more versatile players and depth. This is the best move in this situation. You're bringing a guy back that already has familiarity with Westhoff and the organization, and is the most explosive returner available right now. And, he's from my home state, KY. Maybe Rex and the D can whip his corner skills into shape so we can have permanently. He would be on the roster already but he can’t play corner.

Leon seemed to lose a step or was confused by the new blocking rules. Ithink Miller will be an excellent kick returner for the JETS.

To follow up on what Westhoff seems to be getting at here, is that using Miller's first-step speed would force the issue before the kicking team has a chance to fully implement their defensive scheme, so that they're off-balance as Miller flies by them or through them, breaks to the outside and is gone. With the three-man, as you're forming your scheme, you're also allowing the other team to form theirs, so it's a mano-a-mano fight of wedge vs. wedge-busters. Leon sees how it's all breaking, then picks his gap or goes the other way, often for a big gain. Here, it's all men-in-flight. Miller grabs the ball and is 12 yards up-field before the other team knows who has it or where he is or which way he's going -- the more traditional way to return, actually. Seems the league is weeding out of the game more and more of the Mad Scientist improvements (by the likes of Westhoff and others) that have been instituted over the years.
