with this line, that could happen and it could be a good thing--no sense rushing brooks in, so if Hubbard, Sanders, and Boone can tote the rock, that is  probably good in the long run. 

Question:  Does Blackshear (or Shirden) have return skills? 

Im being real- bounce year for sanders. Boone was impressive too, but I don't see him on the 53, I feel he's a prime-time PSer. 

For sure Blackshear has returner skills, he was 6th in KO average (I believe, Ill check). He a decent 3rd down RB as well.

Blackshear was 13th, but players above him were not regular returners and flukes. 

It does seem among the normal returners, he was 6th overall with a 26.9 average. 12 out of his 16 returns were 20+ yards. 

That's petty dang good and the new KO makes him more valuable since there will be more returns.  I think he's a near lock, unless Im totally missing something.

If Detroit fans what this olb back he would probably be an upgrade for us?

 

Good question.  In 2021 he had 5 sacks, but he has not really been that impactful (stats) I do not see him as an upgrade---I am not sure an Edge can be found in the scrap heap that will upgrade us--just my opinion.  He will be 27 by the end of football season, fwiw,

I totally blanked on blackshear KR--I was probably thinking punt returner--but I appreciate the memory jolt.
