Punt Return Options

ScottF · 08-12-2007, 08:46 AM

After Moore's showing Friday, Reggie might have to return punts this year. To me, the risk of injury there outweighs the potential.

Pierre Thomas looked good at KR and kick coverage, so he might be the answer.

I think Jason David returned some punts in camp, but he needs to concentrate on coverage.

Meachem?

Pierre Thomas is the answer to me. This kid just looks like he has talent to me.

Yea,but Reggie is to important to other parts of our game. I don't want to see him get hurt returning. Pierre Thomas is the answer. The kid has the desire to do whatever it takes to make this team. He's fast and elusive.Turn him loose.

if pierre would make the team, the rb's would be....deuce,reggie,pittman, and thomas....would that leave stecker out?

I look for the team to cut Stecker this year for salary reasons. Thomas is younger, cheaper and faster to keep. Plus I\in my opinion he'll be a better backup than Stecker. I lost fait in Stecker last year. He just didn't show me enough. I like this Thomas kid.

200 lbs hurling down the field trying to beat a block usually leads to low hits at the knees.

why not pitmen returning kicks? thet should try him.he reminds me allot of regie when he runs.

I don't think reggie is a full time PR or KR. He didn't do that well when he was back there last year. Yeah...he broke the one against TB. And had a spectacular 7 yd gain against GB. But overall it wasn't his thang. Reggie likes to go for the jugular every time he touches it. Thats not always needed back there. We need somebody who is gon b-line through the opeing and gain positive yards almost everytime. Somebody willing and able to get hit hard everytime (not reggie). And who has only KR and/or PR responsibilities. If Payton wants to throw reggie back there every now and then to try and break one...fine. But lets not get him KILLED 20 times just to try and break One. And most of the time, the PR's that are ran back for touchdowns don't required the agility of a Reggie Bush...It's usually a straight line up the middle and then a dash down the sideline. I think Pittman and/or Lance would be a great fit.

But...who am I... Thats Sean's Decision.
