Kickoff Returns...

Recommended Posts

Am I the only that loves Ginn as a punt returner and WR, but think he leaves a lot left to be desired as a kickoff returner. 

 

I really think Barner could be given a shot again as KR, but I do share the concern about fumbling possibility, but Ginn has those concerns too. 

 

Also, I think it would help reduce the risk of injury to Ginn, KR is a high risk job, and I would hate for him to go down on it.  He is too vital to our offense now. 

 

Yes, I know we are 9-3 and have won 8 in a row, but we can always get better and kickoff field position hasn't been great.

Not much blocking out there

 

That could be the issue, but i feel like we have decent blocking for Ginn on PRs. 

 

I dunno, its hard to really tell about the blocking without the All-22. 

 

But again, the injury risk on they play was part of the concern too. 

 

If Barner is going to be active, use him.

Agree with teh above posters that the blocking has worsened the last few weeks.  Not sure how or why, though injuries to Hartsock and Blackburn may be playing an issue, but I still think Ginn is our best returner option at this point... give the guy a seam and he's gone.  Just have to get the seam.

    • I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔
    • I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.
    • I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
