Brandon Codrington: Solid Acquisition

[EmotionallyUnstable]

The timing feels funny on this, as he just had probably his worst game so far this year. I almost threw a shout out his way last week, but never got around to it.

 

That said, for a last minute trade at the end of preseason for a late day three pick, I’ve felt like this was a solid move by Beane. 

 

He is currently 9th in the league in punt return average. He brings some juice and generally seems reliable catching the ball. He’s only returned 6 kickoffs, and took one 53 yards. 
 

I no longer feel like I am holding my breath with every punt return, and actually look forward to seeing what ground he can gain when given a chance. 
 

Keep up the good work, young man! 
 

*This site shows him as 7th in return average:

There’s no one happier with Brandon Codrington than Brandon Codrington himself. 
 

The guy was going to be a Jet. Yikes!

Rookies are allowed to make mistakes, and only has 2 that I can see.

 

Great pickup with great potential

You know we’re doing pretty well when this topic gets made

[Draconator]

He's been solid no doubt

[ghostwriter]

He’s been okay.

Cod > Bass

Hold onto the ball and stop fielding inside your 10 yard line or 5 yards deep in your end zone

But...he gave up the Colts final TD yesterday. He's a lot better returner than db.

He's an acceptable returner. The real test starts now when the wind starts picking up, temps drop, and precipitation increases.

 

The fumble yesterday was an annoyance. Fortunately we recovered.

my exact first thought

Not sure I could disagree more.

 

I don’t care what his average return is - he makes bad decisions, often. Lets punts go he shouldn’t, fields one should have let go, takes the ball out of the endzone when he shouldn’t, etc.

 

I trust him zero.

He’s a decent return man, that’s about it.

I like the acquisition but Cod had a rough day yesterday. Opening kickoff should've knelt and he got very lucky on the fumble.  For the most part he's been decent this season.

I feel like that's the opposite of the guy he replaced (Harty), who flashed better as a DB than returner. All things being equal I'd probably err on the side of DB depth but I get that return gaffes can cost games.

 

Been pleasantly surprised with Coddington's return game as well. Not a flat out burner but generally solid hands and shifty with some tackle breaking ability too.

I still don’t understand why the Jests traded him to us…makes no sense.

Harty is a WR.
