ThePebble19 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Was I the only one that was a little surprised with Parrish's speed on the punt return at the end of the game? I thought he was a lot faster than that, and he looked like he had been running a mile by the time he got to that sideline....the way he turned the catch around, and turned it upfield, I thought he had a chance to go...

Ralonzo Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I thought he looked retarded. Being a UofM grad doesn't alleviate my misgivings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you run sideline to sideline, that's 50 yards. And he'd already jigged and juked about 6 guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envirojeff Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I was suprised that he was out there at all! We have the games best return man and we don't use him? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they felt that the Pats had little idea about Parrish - no film on him. Kinda like when a pitcher comes up from the minors and has a good game because nobody really knows his stuff.

Teams had better start preparing for 50 yard horizontal returns when there is no time to spare or they are gonna have some problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 That should have been Clements out there returning that. Hopefully he would have fielded it cleanly and got out of bounds sooner if he had to. Parrish is a rookie and that was too important of a return.

ch19079 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 he should have caught the damn thing first. if he catches it, and returns it to the ~50 yard line (which is reasonable since there were no real defenders near him), we had ~25 seconds to try for the endzone. a real !@#$ up.

Campy Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Nick, did you read my post? I never said PUNT return man? Did you see him return ANYTHING??? Jeff 492114[/snapback] Remember, he tweaked his knee last week in Oakland. They were probably trying to limit his exposure to another injury and/or aggrevating it, and since Bflo is deeper at KR/PR than at CB, they most likely held him out of ST plays for that reason.
