Devin Thomas kick returns??
Seeing the emergence of Marko Mitchell. Hoping he continues to progress and move up the depth chart. With Moss, Kelly, ARE, Mitchell, Thomas as the receivers and maybe that way on the depth chart. Would it be more likely that MM's emergence could change one position. Could it affect if we keep Mason or Dorsey. Could we give Thomas kick return duty and release Rock Cartwright?
Dorsey is a good return man (eventhough he looks better than Rock). But not a good running back. Mason is a good running back from what I have seen the last few years. So if Marko makes the team could it in the end affect Rock being a Redskins. Because we can use Devin on Kick Returns since Mitchell has came on strong and continues to impove. I think could be the best solution in the end.

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
they aren't going to kick cartwright out just so devin can return balls. rock's proven and adds special teams value.

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
I think that Rock's overall abilities on ST will keep him around; have we ever tried Mason at returns?

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
Yeah, last pre-season and he fumbled on his first attempt.

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
It won't matter who is returning kicks if the blocking doesn't get better. Special teams kick coverage is a disaster right now too.

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
no coach wants to use starters on special teams. some do out of necessity. no need to do it in this case

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
I was actually thinking Kelly would be well-suited for the position. He's not a starter yet either.

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
I like the idea of having DT do some kick and/or punt returns. If he is not going to start, it is a way of getting him on the field, and he could be a playmaker in this role with his speed. I'd also like to see Dorsey get more chances in this role.
I love the Rock is unlikely to turn the ball over on kickoffs. But he is also unlikely to take it to the house. And we need more production from our punt returning than we got last year with ARE. DT and/or Dorsey may be fixes for these problems.

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
remember that return a few years back, ladell betts, i think it was against the bucs? he tight roped the sideline and took it to the house. why did he stop returning kicks for us?

Re: Devin Thomas kick returns??
Seeing as how no team is ever gonna score on our D than I say we just put Rock back there for the one and only time the opposing team kicks off every game.
Honestly though, no sense in trying to fix what aint broken. |
