Quote:If I recall correctly,  Bryan Walters replaced Earl Thomas as the Seahawks primary Punt Returner after Thomas struggled in that role in the regular season opener vs. the Packers.  At that point,  reliability on Punt Returns became more important to Pete Carroll than potential big play capability.

Quote:“I just noticed in the game that he wants to do so well that his focus is challenged,” Carroll told reporters. “And I’d rather have his focus playing at safety. So after the long experiment and the time that we spent doing it, he’s not doing it.”
