ARE: Punt Returns

DynamiteRave · 09-14-2008, 06:52 PM

So I think it's a general consensus around here that ARE needs to be banned from returning punts from here on out.

Correct?

What happened to him? He was really bad today on returns.

I was thinking of same thing after the game.. I think Zorn needs to put Thrash in for returns.. Because, unfortunately, it appears Thrash is only one who can do punt returns with decent results.. Thomas did not do anything in preseason..

agreed. ARE sucks as a punt returner now. Thrash is my choice

Yes him or Rock, they run north-south and protect the ball. ARE just jumps around way too much. I actually like Thrash alot in the position, solid vet.

NOW? I was saying this all last year. Honestly, is there anyone WORSE in the NFL at returning punts? I usually stand behind our guys but this is just wrong and has been going on for way to long. I like him as a receiver but damn....come on. I never have understood why they would rather have him back there than Thrash. I just don't get it. Are they thinking ONE day he might break one? In the mean time it's pathetic. This has bothered me for quite awhile. Maybe after Zorn sees it awhile he'll step in and change it. I'always thought Gibbs would but it never happened.

Agreed 100%.

I know they are rookies but how about Tryon or Thomas?

There was a running joke in the game thread that Thomas would only return the ball 5 yards before running into his own guy. (He was doing that during preseason maybe?)

I really think they should give D. Thomas a shot, ARE always runs sideways like the silly crap reggie bush does I hate that little bastard. But yeah I've had it with ARE's returns.

How did this not get addressed in the Offseason and preseason. ARE is getting worse at this. Did we have anyone attempt this in the preseason? Not only are we not gaining any yards but now he looks like a liability. Come on Danny Smith. What about Rock Cartwright?

i would put rock back there he runs hard without running into his own teammates...
ARE stunk it up pretty much all day long and that fumble didn,t help any either.

I'm glad someone has said ARE needs to be banned from PR duty. He is going backwards everytime instead of forwards gaining yards. For sure we need someone else because those returns for negative yards are furustrating and hurts our offense.

WaldSkins · 09-14-2008, 07:41 PM

Definately not Thomas, he runs into a tackler to avoid the big hit. My vote is for Cartwright or maybe Moss, he is pretty good in open space.
