Back Off Reno Mahe

In message board land, Eagles running back Reno Mahe is one of the most vilified members of the team.  So many people seem convinced that he doesn't deserve a spot on this team and think if we "just got rid of Reno" everything would be all right.

I really don't understand this sentiment.  I've written about the guy before, but in a nutshell, he's a hard worker who does whatever he can to help the team get better.  If he had Westbrook's speed all the folks who run him down so much would love him.

So, just as a little stick in the eye for those guys, I think it's worth pointing something out.  Check out the punt return stats for the Eagles in the first three games:

Week 1: Westbrook - 3 - 25 - 8.3 average

Week 2: Wynn - 3 - 42 - 14.0 average

Week 3: Mahe - 2 - 31 - 15.5 average

Guess it doesn't hurt to have last year's league-leading punt returner back after all...
