LSU Working Out Two New Players At Punt Return

If we could get a non- starting receiver to do a good job we might spare an injury to two of our best receivers.....O stayed at a Holiday Express lately?

Well there's only one way to find out who's better at punt returns

Giles has been a disappointment so far

Maybe Jontre should get some looks on offense as well

Jontre is filthy in open space .

15 yards per return. That's pretty good to me. No need to change this. Giles should still be the returner.

I believe Giles continues to return punts. He's been too reliable not to. I believe this just a move to give some other guys some experience where there is opportunity in games were we expected to be leading by a lot. The objective is to build depth (at every position).

I just dont understand. O must really read these rantards comments. I would take Giles over Chark returning punts any day of the week twice a day

Finally!

The comfort in Giles's sure hand is reassuring, and the concern about risking injury to what is I think our leading receiver and lacking that consistency is legitimate. However, I think we're going to need that "Honey Badger" moment in games with Bama, Georgia, and possibly MS St. We need the big explosive TD or near-TD return at some point, like against Auburn last year. A change at returner could give it to us. And it'd be better to test them out against Tech than the meat of conference play. I like the decision.

I am confused, Giles has been steady back there and has not really done anything to be considered a liability. I know its great to have a Tyrann Mathieu type player catching punts but lets not over think this.

If it ain't broke don't fix it

careful what you wish for. GIles has been steady in catching the punt. Putting Jefferson back there as a starting receiver could open him up to some hits. Risk v. Reward. But, while everyone doubted O before the season in making decisions, he has done well.

Yeah Giles has been safe. I don’t think this is necessary.

15 yards a punt return for Giles isn't too shabby.
