Let'sGoBuffalo Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Who will be the punt returner if McGee can't go?
Rubes Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Isn't Clements the punt returner? I think you mean kickoff returner. We have a few guys that can handle that chore, but I don't recall who is next in line. Burns?
ROCCEO Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Burns, a slow crappy RB, and perhaps an even worse return man. If we're not going to make thim a FB, then we should've cut him. Never been impressed by burns for a second and I thought Shaud Williams looked alright during the preseason. We could really use TM this weekend though. However, expect a lot of good field position anyhow, becuase Rackers has 5 fg of 50 or more this year, but if they try that hsit in the Ralph, you know Rackers can't put it through that distance with our weather. It's just up to our offense not to tur......ah nevermind.
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Who will be the punt returner if McGee can't go? 91314[/snapback] Avoiding the fairly worthless editorial comments, the next player on the depth chart for kick returns after McGee is Josh Reed.

(if ya didn`t see that I just rolled my eyes.)
Guest Guest Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 So it's Josh Reed and not Clement? I'd rather have Clements do if McGee can't go, it all just like Rossum in Atlanta.
Guest Guest Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Who will be the punt returner if McGee can't go? 91314[/snapback] London Fletcher
Lori Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 London Fletcher 91687[/snapback] Actually, that could be kinda fun.....
drnykterstein Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 i'm nto sure but i think howard said it would be haddad
Lori Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 i'm nto sure but i think howard said it would be haddad 91739[/snapback] I think Haddad is also on the injury report this week. Safe guess would be Reed/Burns. EDIT: as of 7 PM Friday (Jason Bristol, Empire Sports Report), Haddad is a game-time decision.
Let'sGoBuffalo Posted October 29, 2004 Author Posted October 29, 2004 Ha! Sammy baby!! You crack me up. Seriously, I wish someone knew. I think Clements gives us our best opportunity to get field position as an ecperienced player. But If I was the coach... Give it to our burner.. Lee Evans!

I think Clements gives us our best opportunity to get field position as an ecperienced player. But If I was the coach... Give it to our burner.. Lee Evans! 91813[/snapback] One of our starting CBs is still out, and the #3 is nicked up. Time to give our other starting CB more special-teams work? Might not be a good plan. As previously noted - McGee is the KR, Clements is the PR (and hasn't returned a kickoff since 2001). Even though he's never returned a kickoff in the regular season, Reed was the #2 KR through training camp and preseason. Shaud Williams is the only other player on the roster (other than up-backs like Fletcher or Shelton) who returned kickoffs in the preseason. And as previously mentioned, Burns has also returned a couple of kicks. Evans didn't return kicks in college. Wonder if there's a reason for that?
Let'sGoBuffalo Posted October 29, 2004 Author Posted October 29, 2004 Well, he practiced today, and I guess he's going to play.
Lori Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Well, he practiced today, and I guess he's going to play. 91891[/snapback] He might just play defense and not do KRs, though. Situation to keep an eye on.
Let'sGoBuffalo Posted October 30, 2004 Author Posted October 30, 2004 You are right. I think it will have a huge impact on the game if he doesn't return kicks. Thanks for your comments Lori.. You are one of the few savy Bills fans on here.
Fixxxer Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 I remember Reed had a couple of long returns in preseason.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Who will be the punt returner if McGee can't go? 91314[/snapback] Bobby Sha...oh wait, nevermind!
bartshan-83 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 I remember Reed had a couple of long returns in preseason. 91967[/snapback] Yeah exactly. Reed looked real good in presesason....he should definitely be on the field now that McGee is out..
