    I'm not a huge fan. He's not the kind of fast, nimble player who is going to break one, and I don't like having such a valuable player risking injury.

    I had this opinion before the fumble in the 4Q last night.

    What do y'all think?

    I like a faster, shifter guy. Been thinking that for a while.

    I love the guy but I like the smaller dudes as well like Michael Ford. What does this Guice and Brosette kids look like?

    Agreed, Brute Squad return seems to be less effective. I'm interested to see what Quinn can do.

    Travin Dural was very good in high school. Same here on Quinn returning kicks. John Diarse is another that is a talent. Magee won't be here next year and Fournette might be pulled next year, then we will need two new returners.

    Dural in high school was used in the end around/ jet sweeps, an did well. He returned Kickoffs and Punts, was very good, sure handed, could see green grass and the opening by downfield blockers.

    What is LF's 40 time? I was surprised he got caught from behind on one of his big runs.

    I don't like the ideas of our best receiver returning kicks any more than our #1 runner doing it

    Typically, you play your best players on special teams. It's too big of a component of the game not to.

    That would explain Patrick Peterson and the Honey Badger being (excellent) punt returners.
