Anyone else think LF shouldn't be returning kickoffs?

I'm afraid that's going to wear him out much sooner....plus chances of an injury or hard hit are much more on a kickoff return. Isn't there anyone else on the team...a wide receiver, a corner, an athlete....who has the speed to return kickoffs?
Proud of my TIGAHS for a gutsy win in the swamp tho!

If he starts to get more carries during the game I would support kick return duties going to another player especially in the second half of games.

I don't see a problem with it. Girley at Georgia does it also. Wouldn't mind seeing White back there some.

I Doubt it would really wear him out. However I do hate the idea of putting him on the field with the ball and 11 guys building up steam over 50 yards running down the field and doing anything it takes to bring him down.

If we keep giving him 20+ carries a game (which I think we should), then I definitely support having someone else back there.
Still, he has been very productive.

Those all purpose yards will garner some Heisman votes next year and the year after. I don't know if it is a lack of vision or what but I don't think he is exceptional in that role. I'd love to see Miles throw it to him more in open space.

It depends on who we put back there IMO.
LF is still averaging 23yards per return, which is like 4th or 5th in the SEC.
People are over reacting about him as the returner.
BUT... If we lean on him like last night, and we should, to were hes getting 20+carries per game... I would like to see someone else back there strictly because I dont want him to wear down.
The question is, who do you put back there?
Dural? Hes too valuable to us to risk him back there IMO.
Hilliard? NOPE...

White? He already does punt returns. Im really comfortable with White wherever he is and think he would be an excellent kick off returner, but hes also our top CB by far and already returns punts.
Honestly, the guy I would like to see back there is DJ Chark. I think it would be a perfect spot for him. Hes a WR and excellent athlete with great speed. And has already played so its not like he can be redshirted. I think its a great way to get him out there and get him adjusted to this level of play.

Fournette doesn't get hurt. He delivers the hurt.

I started this thread a few weeks back. Be prepared to get slammed for being a LF hater.

he's not the type to be a kickoff returner. I would rather see white or jefferson or even MD or one of the other wideouts.
LF is not the most elusive guy out there

Pretty sure LF is one of the fastest players on the team. That being said, if he's going to start getting 25+ carries a game like he did last night (and I hope he does), then I would hope the coaching staff will find someone else to handle kick returns.

I feel like that might be a good place to use Diarse.
Posted on 10/12/14 at 7:34 pm to TigerFan244
Yes I agree that LF shouldn't be returning kicks because he's more important as a running back and he's frankly not that good at it.

Yes I say this was he's last game there. Kid has arrived
