Hester has a good amount.. Terence McGee as a good amount Isabella has a poultry average in a small conference.. he's not a great returner We have a guy who all prod in the NFL He's a backup option No, New Orleans had that guy…4 years ago.

I ain't trusting Isabella in a tight game ... week 3.. see what he has? sure But I will be holding my breathe Edited August 23, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 1 minute ago, without a drought said: Harty will probably return punts, Ty Johnson will play special teams if he sticks and Isabella will be a cut. And unless teams start squib kicking, there will be no kick returns when the regular season starts, so who cares who they put back there. lol no kick returns. why would they keep Ty Johnson on ST? What is he good at? Just now, Buffalo716 said: Micah hyde can catch punts safely... I ain't trusting Isabella in a tight game he drops a lot of punts?

RobbRiddick Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Garret looks very imposing on that image, I now feel confident he can start on any position along the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was the best guy And his returns ? Paultry average... His receiving game was great... punt Return game ? Meh I stick by that he's depth... Nothing special as a returner ... Would be our worst returner I could remember in a franchise of great return men in the 2000s I think he would be average as an NFL kick returner and sub average punt returner ... I'd feel more comfortable with him on kicks than punts Edited August 23, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is it about Ty Johnson that tells you he has this innate ability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most return men have a 3-4 year window I don't think ty Johnson is the guy either ... I haven't seen his return tape Listen I don't think Andy would be the worst returner ever ... I'm saying the pros is 50x tougher than college and his college punt return tape left me meh.. He's a better fit as a KR than PR and PR is more valuable now ... it's the most dangerous position in football.. it's tough Edited August 23, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcam2012 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Really like the signings. Beane is teeeking an already loaded and dangerous roster. You can't hate that! He's always looking to improve the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I think they need to stop messing around with small potatoes and seek a trade with the Colts for Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing dumber than giving a running back a huge second contract is giving up assets for the right to give a running back a huge second contract.

Shakir had 2 and Lewis 1. The first 2 are gone. Also, you can't cite some of the best returners ever as proof that all returners needs or have an "innate' talent for doing so. Obviously the majority of them don't. Hines (12 career college returns) and Crowder don't. Look at the top 15 in Y/Return last year...

Had like 3 house calls in returns ... 12 punts and he took a punt back to the house He was taking house calls.. again I think Andy could be an average kick returner .. but it's a different animal in the pros Edited August 23, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 This to me is a total head scratcher !! Given the other places on the team that seems to be a weakness like the mike LB position it should come before the RB room especially given the other players that could fill in admirably even with the lose of Hines .
