Not sure how many kick returns we are gonna get with the new stupid kickoff rules.


you're going to see many teams sky kick to prevent the touchback to the 25. KO return skills will be more like a punt returners.

I'm thinking we go w/ J C Copeland on KOR.
Sure, there may be more conventional candidates, but it just makes a statement, especially to start a game.

if they're gonna try any of the RBs back there, let it be Ford.


I think Blue could be good on KR also.

That's the first comment that I think really explains it.

I had forgotten about them moving the kickoff, and seeing all the, "hands aren't good enough" and "too small" all I could think was, how did RS suddenly become smaller than trindon?

But it might be more like a punt return as you said. So OBJ would be a solid choice.

I'd just like to see Rusty get the ball more in general. Seeing as OBJ is going to get more catches at WR than him. But I got a feeling he would get blasted on kickoff returns. Poor Rusty.

OBJ is going to be our primary kick returner so none


OBJ will be a stud returner
