Ramius Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 It's the elusiveness that I'm waiting to see. Being able to run quickly in a straight line isn't being elusive. Maybe next year he will be more elusive. 530323[/snapback] how elusive can one be when they are sprinting up the sidelines? His elusiveness was displayed a week ro so ago when he caught the little screen and quickly darted for 8 or so yards.

sfladave Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 He was never advertised as having any significant speed. He has great hands, quickness, agility, and a knack for playing the slot. He is also among the NFL leaders in punt return average. I've said this before but I did not like the pick at that position in the draft, but I do think he is living up to what was expected of him since his return from the injury. 530180[/snapback] Actually he was clocked with one the fastest 40 times in the history of UM. Give Roscoe time, I saw a lot of him at UM, he does have the potential to make some big plays in the NFL. As for his size, did anyone notice some of the blocks he put out there yesterday?

As long as he continues to show that he'll sacrafice himself out there, he's fine in my book.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 I noticed that myself, here's some additional discussion from last week. Linky 530189[/snapback] In this thread, I posted this: "I agree, Kzoo Mike. I thought he would be a lot faster, and more elusive. I hate to say it--but he reminds me a lot of Antonio Brown, our erstwhile punt returner. Lots of speed once he gets going in a straight line, but otherwise not particularly quick. Then again, he's only played a handful of games--I'm hoping with some more experience he'll become more like a Dante Hall." I stick by it; the guy goes down to easily and needs a 30 yard running start to get going. He's great returning line-drive kicks and punts. But if you ask him to start running from a standstill position and make guys miss, he's terrible.
