Last year everyone raves over Chark returning kicks. He never saw the field. Is he in the mix again returning or not?

So it paid off.. huge. TM7's return game vs Georgia kept us in that game and allowed us to take it over.


Do I deny any of this? All I said was TM7 wasnt a punt return force until the last game of the year. Nothing more. At no time did I say omit what he did.


The memory of this board is very poor. Sure Mathieu scored two touchdowns in the two games mentioned and had another great return saved by a shoestring tackle but to pretend he wasn't "a force" or whatever. The dude almost never fair caught the ball and usually caught it on a dead sprint which meant he was 10 yards down the fiel before anyone could try and tackle him. Those consistent positive yards were very valuable in field position.

He's not a smart return guy! Took a lot of head shots. And the game is far different now than it was back in cannon jr era

Carter won state titles in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters in back-to-back years (2003 and 2004), becoming the only athlete in Florida history to do so. His 45.44 from 2004 remains as the FHSAA (Florida High School) record.[1] During both his junior and senior years, Carter was named athlete of the year for USA Track and Field, Nike, Gatorade and National High School Coaches Association, Track and Field.


quote:

(In college) Carter won national titles in four events and became the first person to do so since Jesse Owens accomplished the feat twice in 1935 and 1936.[5] He was also the first athlete ever to win both the 100 m and 400 m events on the same day.

He is the sixth fastest American sprinter EVER in the 200 meters event with a personal best of 19.63 seconds.

skylar green, pre-ankle injury, was so good at making the first guy miss


Skylar and DD were by far the best I can remember in recent history. They both seemed to be just a fraction shy of taking it to the house on nearly every return opportunity. DD had so many returns called back on penalty it was ridiculous.

What about TQ on punts?
If it's not White, TQ is the next man up. Besides the drops against bama, I trust TQ in this situation.
