What a Tuel Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I think a turnover is more likely than a td return with this group. I don't really trust denarius moore with the ball, truth be told. Someone needs to teach Moore the basics of when to return the ball, fair catch a punt, etc. He has fair caught way too many punts at the 4 yard line for my liking. It might just be me though, I don't have the stats to back that up.
K D Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 our special teams play has been atrocious this year. the only saving grace has been Colton Schmidt but he's doing it on his own with massive hang time and amazingly accurate directional punts
RyanC883 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 No, do not return the ball. The odds are not in your favor, and we don't really have a killer type return guy. Good ones, not great ones.
BobbyC81 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 They probably do, but KO's are now so dull they should seriously examine removing them. I was just looking at CFL rules because i recall watching a game earlier this year where there was no kickoff after a score. Turns out they have kickoffs after touchdowns but not after made FGs where the opposing team gets the ball at their 35. Weird.

My favorite was the Detroit returner kneeling on a kick return at like the 4.
White Linen Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 The league doesn't want kickoff returns because they found that the injury rate is higher on them. Hence they moved the kickers closer to dissuade teams from the basically foolish idea of returning kicks from within the end zone. Yeah, it took a core play out of the game. They say they have the injury stats to back their position up, and maybe they do. Yeah but my point was it was meant to almost eliminate them. Players are now taking them out often at the mid or front of the endzone. That was a rare occurrence prior.
cantankerous Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 No, because apparently they are either too stupid or too undisciplined to have a special teams play without committing a penalty. It's been beyond awful since opening day.
