If Russell Shepard gets a chance to KR/PR:

I am fine with it. Lee is going to be a solid back up if something were to happen to Jefferson. I am cool with using Shepard everywhere.

If Les thinks he is ready for that, then I am completely fine with it

Doc, I don't think Shep is near thick enough to be a KR. I know Trindon isn't either, but Trindon is so small and low to the ground its hard to get a good shot at him. At over 6 ft tall Shep could get killed.

PR is a tough one because catching the ball is the first priority. I think we have other athletes that can do those jobs well and if we want Shep to be involved in the offense and eventually be a QB, you don't let him play Special teams.

what would your feelings be with him on the field?

I would be happy with that. Kickers would have to pick their poison between kicking to either him or Trindon. If he's as much of a weapon as we think he is, he needs to get his hands on the ball, even if it means returning kicks and/or punts.

I will go ahead and say this right now whether I think it is a good idea or not doesn't matter but what does matter is that if he did return punts/kicks and he got blasted and ended his career everybody in this damn thread would say that it was a stupid decision to put him back there.......not one of you, or us for that matter, would stand behind our original statement....BOOK IT

he's gotta have better hands than trindon. So, if Les thinks he's ready then let's do it!

He should return kick , that way he can get a feel for the college game

Wow... Just imagining Trindon and Shep returning kick offs is incredible. I'd still prefer Trindon, but Shep might be just as fun to watch.


Who is currently on the depth chart for returing kicks?
