So, why the heck isn't Griff Whalen being used for punt return by the Pats? A couple of notable flubbs on special teams have teh Ravens back in the game. Maybe he doesn't know the full play book, but he should be able to field a punt.

He joined the team on, what, Thursday? Returning punts is a bit more complicated than just going back there, you need to know blocking assignments and I'm sure more. But I'd be surprised if he weren't back there on Sunday night.

By the way--Cam Fleming reported as an eligible receiver a lot this game.  Has he been getting any attention in the passing game yet?

I've never seen him catch a pass, and on the broadcast they said he "can't catch". I'm assuming he'll be targeted at some point (probably in the red zone in a high-leverage game), but so far he's just an Ogre.
