Lockette has a 4.32 40 yard dash if I remember correctly which might make him the fastest on our team officially. That's just elite speed. But that doesn't necessarily translate to play making skills for kick returns. Even though he leads the team in average reception yards at 18.5 he only has caught 4 of his 6 targets and 11 yards after contact.
Kinda makes you wish we gave this guy some more plays in regular season so we would know what we are dealing with. He has the elite speed that he should be able to get open when we need to dump the ball fast but with 6 targets all season he's pretty much a mystery to how good he is
Feel the same way about Michael Christine and his lack of carries, can't really put any trust in him since we never used him but he seems entirely capable of giving us that much needed offensive explosion here and there.
I'm a little nervous with giving Baldwin KR duties but I also think he's smart and skilled enough to go out of bounds or slide rather than take a monster hit.
I think if we get a big lead we might want to just go back to Turbin I think last week was a fluke with his ball security everyone has off days.
But really our KR situation should have been addressed LONG AGO... We have so many talented guys no reason to be #3 in punt returns and #25 in kick returns.
Kinda scary to think where we would be on offense without awesome punt returns and many interceptions. I think we should of been trying to find a dangerous KR game many weeks ago. Seems like maybe we put all our eggs in one basket with Harvin and never tried to fill his shoes at KR.
