Why is Washington still returning punts?

When I saw him back there I said to every one sitting around me to watch that he doesn't fumble. And when he fumbled, I lost it. I no longer blame Washington for these fumbles; I blame the coaching staff for continuing to put him out there. His career as a returner must end now. Forever.

Washington is like Renaud... he must be just awesome in practice to keep getting looks as a returner - for two years of fumbling now...  lots of guys have lost their jobs for less.

Is he Canadian :P

Don't even!

Washington is one of this teams best players... He makes an impact every game on defense. You don't bench him entirely because he's had trouble with returns, you simply take him off the return team. There's other guys on the roster who can do that aspect of the game. 

I think blaming washington is masking other issues, to be honest, we had 5 turnovers tonight and washingtons was almost caused by his own player.

 

Fumble wasn't caused by anything but poor ball security.  If he's holding the ball properly and securely, it doesn't fly out.  It's football, you have to carry the ball in a manner in which you can absorb impact without coughing the ball up.

 

Work with him on ball security, or scratch him off the list of returners.

No one is suggesting benching him completely. Just take him off returns, permanently. I think he's one of the better defenders in the CFL.
