Is it just me or are our up men on KOs a little to ready receive the ball??

A couple of times KS and QJ caught the ball with TH basically standing right behind them. It seems like there should be a little better communication so as to let TH touch the ball.

We talking kickoffs? The ball is live and you damn well better catch it if it that close.

So you would rather Quinn Johnson catch and run a KO back then TH.

My point was that TH could have easily caught the ball but QJ did not get out of the way.

Doesn't bother me. If the up back catches it he starts further up the field than if he let it go and TH catches it on the bounce. It is only hindsight that you would know if TH would have caught it in the air. Sure we loose the potential for a long return but I will take a kickoff return to the 37 any day!

What if the choice is Kelvin Sheppard catch it out of the air, or move and let Holliday catch it out of the air? That was the case last night
