NoSaint Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Me too. Return game issues were definitely not Thigpen, IMO. Blocking stinks plus the penalties. At least Thigpen didn't fumble... And yet thigpen has more fumbles in fewer touches.
3rdand12 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 For everyone complaining about thigpen catching two punts inside the 10 last week, where are you? Moore did the same, plus fumbled the ball away that almost lost us the game. I regretted this move when it was made, and Sunday only cemented my view. Dont take these moves too seriously JR. its not like are letting #Fredleave

Its been one game but I am inclined to agree with you. Moore looks like McKelvin 2.0. Hopefully he steps it up. Tbh no idea why we signed him. I mean we already have 20 other WRs that could be competent return men. Goodwin for example. Hell, I wouldnt mind if they stuck Dez Lewis back there.

I figured most RBs/WRs already had the necessary skill sets to be half decent at it.

There was a good thread about it last week, on the differences between KR and PR.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Dont take these moves too seriously JR. its not like are letting #Fredleave Haha; yeah, this board would explode if they did that!
3rdand12 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Haha; yeah, this board would explode if they did that! yathink : )
YoloinOhio Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Hmm. I did not know that, thanks! Do you know if one of our RBs is a good PR?i don't think so. Karlos returned Kickoffs in college and Herron did as well and also with the Colts... But don't know about PR for any of them. Denarius returned punts for the Raiders. Personally I think they should put Woods back there. He was a tremendous PR in college. I know they want to reduce injury risk but Steelers use Antonio Brown
vincec Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 And yet thigpen has more fumbles in fewer touches. I don't remember Thigpen putting the ball on the ground much while he was here. What are their respective numbers? The new guy has one lost fumble in 3 touches. Fumble percentage: 33%.

NoSaint Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 i don't remember Thigpen fumbling here but I think that was why he got cut in Tampa. He has 7 career, in under 200 touches while we are looking at the new guy having 6 in right around 200 (don't recall the exact numbers) Though apparently we have fans expecting a 1 fumble in 3 touches rate to continue
26CornerBlitz Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 @NFL_RealUpdates #Colts released former #Patriots, #Dolphins, #Bills Returner Marcus Thigpen and signed LB Amarlo Herrera.
K D Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 maybe we can get him back. that new guy looks shaky
T master Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Are you saying JOSH JOHNSONis available???? Go rouge and get er done Whaley! He did ...
YoloinOhio Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Awe man, poor Thiggy. Hope he finds another stint. Edited October 17, 2015 by YoloinOhio
Nanker Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I've seen plenty on the road. Just depends on the guy and injury. And the coach. I'm pretty sure that Coughlin won't let a non-player travel with the team. It might also be a team's FO policy.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 @RAIDERS We have signed wide receiver Marcus Thigpen. Read: http://bit.ly/1KYaHqD
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 For everyone complaining about thigpen catching two punts inside the 10 last week, where are you? Moore did the same, plus fumbled the ball away that almost lost us the game. I regretted this move when it was made, and Sunday only cemented my view. Now we can look forward to Leodis back there... It's nerve racking wondering if he'll still be thinking about the hot dog sandwich debate as the ball decends from the sky towards him while his heels are planted on the 13yar line... i don't think so. Karlos returned Kickoffs in college and Herron did as well and also with the Colts... But don't know about PR for any of them. Denarius returned punts for the Raiders. Personally I think they should put Woods back there. He was a tremendous PR in college. I know they want to reduce injury risk but Steelers use Antonio Brown Percey, Sammy?
