Tyrann Mathieu in the return game

The biggest thing coming out of Spring practice is the use of TM as a return specialist. He has a knack for football that makes him a dangerous returner. He does not have the best speed or size but it is no surprise to me that he is emerging as the leading candidate to replace PP. He will be a solid returner who will be an All-SEC returner kinda reminds me of Todd Kinchen.

he's at PR and Gore is at KR with Brooks, correct?

Claiborne & Brooks are your top two returners on KO's from what I've been told(Gore backs them up). Mathieu & Randle are the top two PR's.

I think it's gore and Claiborne

Good to hear. He was a beast at Aug with the ball in his hands.

I know what you mean. They have the same elasticity, the same fluidity of motion, and the ability to cut in kind of an odd looking, uber-athletic fashion.

It definitely Gore and Claiborne right now on Kickoffs, as for punt returners Reuben Randle is a solid as they come been compared to chad Jones, and Mathieu is the other in the mix, not to fast but quick and fearless but reminds them of PP7. This one may come down to wire and still during the year they may mix them up

Yes he was! Went in on third downs or crucial moments and always moved the chains.

Off topic, but T. Mathieu will be better than P Peterson in every aspect of the game.

I think they will use TM/Randle based on field position, Randle for the short/sure-handed punts, TM for the homerun. Is that what ya'll expect?

Yes..Randle for his sure hands much like Chad Jones..If you go watch some Tyrann highschool highlights, when he returns:he returns to get in the endzone, very good on both sides of the ball, Randle can make a couple miss but its his sure hands that will make him special

i love T-rex like the next guy but lets let him play a full season actually at corner before we annoint him GOATPosted on 4/3/11 at 8:02 pm to 7thWardTiger
I would have thought for sure that Randle would be the PR guy. Will see.

Oh.....you mean give him the chance to get taken advantage of like PP did in the second half of the season? Revisit a few gametapes. PP was abused.

Hyperbole.

TM reminds me alot of Javi returning punts for Bama

Corners that get abused aren't projected to be a top-10 pick regardless of potential. Also, why do the stats not show PP7 getting abused?
Why do I also doubt the fact that you watch LSU game tape and break down the CB play with expert analysis and knowledge of the scheme and the individual goal of each specific call..
