Just bring in a bunch of fast, shifty college KRs as UDFAs. Let them all fight it out in camp/preseason. I don't like the idea of spending a pick on a guy with the sole expectation that he's going to be a KR specialist and that's all.

I'm really not overly concerned with drafting a return man, it's nice to have but we have much higher priorities than that this year.

It'll take very little to secure someone for that role.
And having a real threat to take one to the house could really help an offense that'll have a lot of growing to do.

Maurice Price was a dangerous returnman in college if memory serves?
I'd like to see us give he and Webb a shot at holding that job down.

What ever happend to Ean Randolph? I was high on him returning last year.

Just saying I wouldn't use a top 3 round pick on it...

How about a #3?
There will be a couple three guys there who can help upgrade your WR spot AND produce on Special Teams...

RustShack 03-14-2008 01:44 PM

I'm not big on returnman playing WR also. Dante Hall kinda dropped off when we started using him at WR more, I think its happening to Hester too.

Mecca 03-14-2008 01:44 PM

I consider those kind of luxury positions if you are going to take one that high...

I'm not big on WR's doing both either, but I figure a guy like Eddie Royal would need time to become a viable option in our offense. Manning return duties would give him and opportunity to get on the field and produce in the meantime.

I agree. One of those 2 could probably do as well as we're gonna see with Priefer coaching STs....

I thought we'd surely see Webb last year before that idiot Drummond came to town...

Having some continuity with Special Teams personnel will go a long way towards fielding a respectable return team as well.

If a guy is the #3 WR and happens to be a decent return guy, bonus. But #1 or #2 I agree I would hope we dont have to use our top WR for return. It would be nice if we could use them in the offense.

I'm wondering why Priefer kept his job?

I'm not sure Priefer was the problem. I may be completely off base but it seemed like our coverage teams were much much better last year. That's just going off watching games and not the stats, so I could be way off base. But I don't remember being pissed off about kick coverage much at all last year while in years past, I was pissed off nearly every time we kicked the ball.

My biggest disappointment in special teams (aside from a good kicker) was the return game. Coverage seems to be more about scheme and preparation, whereas, the return game relies a lot on the man returning the kick, IMO.
