Probably being harsh but he isn't cutting it for me. I think the majority of players in our team could have done what he did returning punts today. There was nothing explosive there.

He also missed/dropped a couple of catches today that although weren't great throws, I think Baldwin, Kearse would have caught.

Given the number of receivers on our team, if we keep him returning punts, that's the only time I want to see him.

He didn't put the ball on the ground....enough for me.

We were spoiled with Tate. If he's the standard, there might be a lot of disappointed fans.

I think he is sure handed and made a massive 3rd down catch for a first down. Good enough for me.

This, though I wouldn't mind seeing him make at least someone miss one of these days.

He doesn't seem very dynamic, but he certainly isn't bad at what he does. We could definitely upgrade the punt returner, but for me it's pretty much....meh, he doesn't screw it up and gets the ball back to our offense safely. All good.

I like him. He seems able to catch punts on the run and make good decisions there. We didn't see him in action nearly enough in San Diego to make a judgment call, so one game of 4 yard returns isn't enough to frustrate me. No fumbles = good.

He had a couple of good catches while on offense, and missed at least one that was overthrown anyway. Nothing to complain about there either, except to wonder why he was on the field in the first place.

Yeah most people complain that he has yet to return one for major yards, most have never tried to catch a punt with 10 people charging at you who's sole purpose in life is to separate your body from the ball and if body parts break off it's a bonus.

He's only just started this new role for us. I'm fine with what he's done so far, and expect that he can improve as he gets more comfortable in his role, and earns the trust of the coaching staff.

I think he's just solely working on the catch and preventing mistakes. Once he starts feeling more comfortable, he'll open it up a bit more.
