    The more you can do" is a favorite saying of Mike Tomlin, and Emmanuel Sanders is sure taking that to heart. Sanders ran a lot of plays as the third receiver during Wednesday's practice along with returning kickoffs. Sanders hasn't returned kickoffs since his freshman year at SMU, when he had 12 for 288 yards. Sanders was more of a punt returner in college. He had 20 returns as a sophomore and then 20 more as a senior.

    yeah...umm, that was like 6 years ago now and he is a shadow of his former self. he should not be on the roster, he used to be a decent PR but hes not anymore and hes afraid of the endzone and physically lacks the ability to get open. he can throw a pretty ball, but sanders is a much much better WR at this point in their careers, el is useless to the team

    Meh, nothing wrong with some depth in the WR corps especially with Holmes gone.

    He's also not expected to stretch the field. THat's what Wallace will be doing. He can get the underneath stuff as he's pretty sure handed and a decent route runner to boot.

    hes a terrible route runner, he cant get open...hes never really been able to, which is why he gets 30 catches a year because CBs can blanket him. let ward and heath do the underneath stuff, wallace and sanders are big play guys and el can die in a fire
