Guess the Primary Punt Returner

[SNDavidson]

Before the first game, take a guess or two...

 

[suppaball]

I went with Young, why just because. I have nothing to back this.

 

[Mix]

DJ, we will carry 4 RB's due to injury concerns

 

[sutz]

I went with JSN. DeeJay is more of a kickoff returner, no?

 

[Ad Hawk]

I think KMc

 

[QWERTY]

Even though you have an opinion, I would ask why would you risk it?

 

[Nv_Hawks]

No JSN. No risk to him.

Good point, I see Dallas as the primary PR and also see him as RB3, and yes, returning punts there is a concern for injury.

The first quality reply for carrying 4 RBs on the 53 that I have seen on this forum. Bravo.

I thought jsn, but then worried about punt coverage by guys trying to make a team.

DeeJay, that's my chicken answer

Kenny Mack

JSN for two reasons.

Carroll has a history of playing young, ascending stars on special teams, especially as a returner.
Carroll values possession more than any other football philosophy.
From the fore-mentioned group, JSN is the most natural fit at it. The best combination of hands and decision making.

The decision-making part is what determines longevity. JSN won't get himself hurt by making a bad judgment call.

Up until last week, I was convinced it was McIntosh. It still may be. Kenny meets the criteria as well.

Not on the list but I think it's Tre Brown if he makes the team. If not him then McIntosh. In close games it's a fair catch from Lockett.

Not a bad guess. Tre Brown returned kickoffs in college at Oklahoma, and very effectively. None of the running backs, except for DJ Dallas, have any experience returning punts, although McIntosh and Walker did return kickoffs in college. I thought that with their speed, Witherspoon or Jerrick Reed might have returned kicks, but they did not.

I'd like to see Tre Brown/Dee Eskridge on punt returns. I've seen enough of DeeJay Dallas doing it, time to find someone else.

You don't need anything. You have the joker eating popcorn

 

[Smellyman]

the one who can catch it every time.

 

[pittpnthrs]

Who it will be and who I hope it will be are two different things. I hope its Eskridge. Prove something and if not,,,,who cares?

 

[Maulbert]

If McIntosh isn't seriously hurt, I'd put my money there.

It won't be Eskridge for at least 6 weeks.

 

[SNDavidson]

Yep, maybe Dee down the road this year, a way to get him on the field...
