I just hate hate hate having only one guy back there. With two you at least have the chance the other guy might recover if it is mishandled. Again, I know nothing about football, but I hate the way we receive punts.
Understand what you are saying but honestly how many non-high school teams have you seen use 2 deep punt returners?
1. Catch a short punt instead of letting it roll for 20 yards with no returnWhat's the point of having the player half way up - between the one guy back and the LOS? Like I said, I know nothing about the finer points of football. If it's a short punt is he supposed to fair catch it? Why not just let it bounce and have him back where the deep guy is?
Albert Gary. Why is he returning kicks? I don't like to hate on the kid, but he is not explosive at all and he showed today that he isn't reliable enough to be a kick returner either. I know West is hurt, but don't we have better options?
Not going to hate on Gary, but returning kicks and punts is definitely not his thing. Too bad the coaches can't see that. He must be impressive in practice, like QB allegedly was at the beginning of the year. It would be one thing if he was really impressive with his returns, but right now you got a guy that is scary when catching the punt and then not doing anything with it when he does field it clean.
Maybe the reason all these guys look impressive in practice is because they are going against us. I mean, who hasn't looked good this season against us.
