Philly Brown....

[ncsu12engr]

when you are blasted before the ball gets to you and a flag is thrown how the hell is that a muffed punt.

 

That was not the muffed punt in the Chicago game. Philly's muffed punt in that game happened in the 2nd half.

Am I remembering this play wrong? I'm fairly certain he did call for a fair catch on that play but he got hit before the ball got to him anyway.

 

Play was right in front of me.  Did not see him call for fair catch and sis not see it on replays.   The defender interfered with his ability to catch the ball...actually hit him before the ball got there.  He should have called for a fair catch on that one.

 

On the backbreaking TD in the Pitt game, he muffed the punt, picked it up, and then fumbled all in the same play. Dude has put the ball on the ground a lot.

 

That was a back breaking play.  Changed everything. RR believes in him as he in not in his doghouse.

I have to pray everytime the other teams punt.but given time Philly is gonna be special

not worried, like most huddlers, he has potential and will get coached up. I hope he kicks some butt against the "vaulted "special teams of the Bengals...we're  freakin 5 games into the season, it isn't like the Panther's have had a great return game in the past.

 

now RB's would be an issue...

I am not saying that Philly isn't a likable guy and hard worker, but I'm loath to get on the Philly bandwagon. Philly is electric on the one hand, but he is shaky on the other.  Sure we see the great potential, but we also see the great downfall. That's a shame.

More reps will cure all his ills. Those punts on Sunday were no joke. It's obvious the Bears saw potential in him to fumble and we're doing everything in their power to cause it.

I get scared every time he's about to catch a punt but he's the most talented returner we've had back there in a while. He can be one of the better ones in the league and he has the ability to be a good WR too.

Something very 8th grade like for giving "pie" for this but I did anyway.

He seems timid and timidity is not coachable.  He either will get over it as his confidence grows, or it will be an issue always.

I don't think he is at all timid from talking with him. Quite the opposite

I hate punts period. More potential for bad than good. The league just needs to do away with them. I propose if you force a 4th down, let the opposing team automaticially take over at their own 35 (unless the offense chooses to go for it ofcourse) Just think about it. Its rare you get big yds or a TD from returns anyway, and when you finally do, a majority of a time it comes back because of a "illegal block in the back" penalty. I think the league should just do away with punts period

you should write a book of great ideas

As a therapist, I have seen hundreds of cases where people say one thing and their actions show another.  I wouldn't tell a reporter that I was scared or timid either. This is a case where insider information isn't going to help your case.  I remember talking to Armanti Edwards and he said he wasn't timid when he first got to Charlotte and was fumbling punts.  Quite the opposite.  Later on he said, "yeah bro I was a bit nervous".  "It was a huge stage".

Bengal gunners are better than Chicago....

Which makes Philly's inability to catch and fair catch the right balls a big concern. ESPN broke that down too
