Yeah, that's what I was referencing with his elusiveness. Usually big kick returns are the result of at least one quick cut and elusive play, and often more than one. My guess is they're just trying to find a way to tap into his speed. That's the most logical spot, I guess, to put a speedster. If kicks have good hang time, that could take away his speed advantage, though.
Also had that thought.
A J Green was injured in college when Richt put him in to do a kickoff return against some cupcake team.
I guess it's going with the Spurrier mentality of putting your best athletes at special teams.
He will be the tallest returner i have ever seen. Compare him to our best returner ever(Ace) and the best ever (Devin Hester) sizes and ???
Screen passes, reverses and jet sweeps are probably a safer way to get him more touches than kickoff returns.
I remember watching Carlos Dunlap return punts and kicks back in his high school days for Fort Dorchester. That was a sight to see.
Wish i could've seen that or maybe just don't remember it. Actually went to a few of their games during that period. Memory has been spotty since Laprad thought it was a good idea to move me down from from safety to middle lb against wishbone teams at 150 sopping wet.
I more or less agree. Yeah, there's injury risk, but it's low. Thus far, we haven't had any return on his speed talent. I don't think he's quick enough to create much separation at WR early in routes. His speed is downhill.
To be honest, I'm not sure losing him would be a backbreaking loss.
Must hit that ''point of entry'' quickly or you get nailed.
That's an NFL mentality as well. The best teams put their best players on special teams.
I guess we could just let him sit on the bench. That would minimize his injury risk.
