He is very reliable on the KR and PR's and can possibly break one at any time. He never muffs the punts or kickoffs. I entirely trust Roberts as a return man. Fans take things for granted unless there’s a splash play that hurts the team. They also don’t tend think guys are contributing unless they do something special. Roberts has been very good all year despite not breaking a long TD return. 2
peterpan Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I get what y'all are saying regarding Roberts. I just feel the drop-off with McKenzie back there, is minimal.

Or EJ gainse brought in, due to the Wallace situation. Seems like a better use of a roster spot. Disagree. He is as sure handed as they come on a punt return and you can’t afford a turnover on special teams in a pressure playoff moment.

But he is also 4th in the league in kick return average. He should definitely be active. Having Roberts has significantly reduced my blood pressure on punts as well. Ray Ray made me cray cray. Roberts plays if healthy.

If he is healthy it is a weapon on the ST that Texans have to worry about. And easy want Duke Williams on field can easily deactivate Senorise Perry OR even Robert Foster Foster is a gunner on ST

When you become a Bills fan I will continue to discuss this with you. BTW, you started it.

So want to keep trying to say who are actual Bills fans? It’s ok if you feel inadequate as a fan.

Roberts has not had that season. At this point we cant get a spark on our ST for our lives. If I am in charge I want to find a way to spark my best way to score. That is on offense. Also my fan card has been punched. Lets Go Bills!
Blank Stare Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 McD has prioritized special teams at the expense of the offense all year. I expect the same Saturday. DiMarco, Perry, Julian Stanford, etc. offer zip to their respective sides of the ball, but will be active. Look, I get it, someone has to play ST, but it’s more important to me that we give Josh every available weapon to score points (e.g., Duke, Yeldon, Sweeney). I refuse to believe those 3 guys, who have played football their entire lives, can’t run down the field and make a Ficken tackle on special teams, or at least redirect them toward someone that can. 1

I'd rather keep Roberts active for that reason. Last thing we need is a muffed punt. Activate Duke AND Yeldon by deactivating Foster and Gore. But I doubt they'd do that to Gore.

I'll take Gore over Yeldon. Wiliams over Foster is fine with me and have advocated for a few times already this year

When you think “return specialist” you think of generational talents? Hester is one of the top returners of all time, ever. Having someone who can change the game even a little bit is better than having a punt catcher.

Meanwhile Isaiah left 6 yards on average(he returned 21 avg compared to 27 avg for Roberts) and Roberts was taking them out of the endzone to net "28" yards when leaving it in the endzone would have gave us 25.
