Yeah, he's the fastest guy on the team but I haven't been impressed yet

Would we be better off putting someone like Guice back there that seems to be a little more agile?

Agreed, I said the same thing to by brother yesterday. He just hasn't developed the vision yet.

Definitely running in a straight line right now but give him time. I think he busts one before the season is over

I agree. Seems like he hasn't gotten past the 25 yet.

Yeah, Donte just seems to run straight into the tackle. No moves.

Like most young guys he is going too fast. He will develop patience and accelerate when the hole is there.

I expected more. He doesn't look great, but I think he will improve. Kick coverage is more concerning. They run down the field and stop and don't even fight to get off blocks. We need some tougher guys out there.

He's not good back there. He's fast. Not elusive. He runs straight into the coverage. Since Special Teams hasn't been coached since McGaughey left for the NFL, don't expect any changes or adjustments.

Neither is he. Being fast is great, but it doesn't matter if you aren't seeing the holes. Guice should be back there

said the me thing... I know he is fast but that doesn't mean he has return instinct.

might want to rotate someone else in

When Peveto is your ST coach what do you expect? Can't coach kick coverage, blocking, punters, kickers, or returners. It looks sloppy in every facet of ST and I don't think that's a coincidence.
