Please tell me why Mathieu, Bechem, and/ or Shepp are not returninig kickoffs?

That would have given Tyrann 7 chances to return a KO for a TD if my math is correct. I have been asking this question all year.
7

TM7's big wang probably gets in his way. Don't know about the others.

I was asking the same thing last night. Claiborne did return one for a touchdown, but he looked downright bad last night.

Who is this SHEPP you speak of?

Claiborne has been pretty solid

total guess, but in order to do it, you need to practice with the squad. The two best returners, Mo & HB, they put HB where % they think he'll get the most touches. I guess no one figured that HB would only get 3 kicks, while there would be 7 kick offs

It's not like he had many holes to work with

I agree he's been solid, but he looked dead tired on his returns last night and I don't blame him. Bamas coverage was pretty good last night, though

Returning kickoffs is a different skill than returning punts. I'm not saying that TM wouldn't do well at it, but generally a great kickoff returner has blazing straight line speed. The shifty, "quick" guys are better for punt returns.

they tried Shep, he wasn't good at it from what I recall. also gave Beckham a couple cracks at it, he did pretty good.
the way we set up the KRs the past few yrs is Brooks as kind of a blocker, and then the main returner (PP or Mo) opposite him.

He doesn't make the quick cuts or have the burst of speed like Tyran in my humble opinion. TM can make people miss and can reverse field.

Well Ron brooks was the fastest person in the stadium, and he's not a good Kim returner.
