Now youre just being a douche. I have an opinion, BFD. Also, we'll se who is right come game day.

Didn't say he WOULD be the return man.....Just argued against your nonsense about kneeling all kickoffs and or running out of bounds on punt returns. If that makes me a douche then you my friend are surely douche v2.0.

I wouldnt want him on the field on special teams period.



Why are you so scared of getting our 3rd string QB hurt? He'll probably get 5-6 direct snaps a game at QB, but that's less reps than Keiland, Chad Jones, Trindon, etc...will probably get. Do you not want any of them playing special teams e4ither? It would be one thing if Shep would take over as starting QB if JJ gets hurt, but it will almost certainly be Lee in that case, so what's with you being such a chicken shite? Reggie Bush returned kicks at SC, and I'm pretty sure he was more important to their team than Shep will be to ours this year.




Also, who was the last player to sustain a season-ending injury on a return?

Again, being sarcastic. And please never douche 2.0 again. Go play world of warcraft.

QB's shouldn't be returning kicks.

we haven't had a true "threat" at PR since 2003/2004 when skyler was doing it.


comes down to risk/reward...Shep's potential impact on offense is greater than his potential impact as a punt/kick returner. I'm guessing we'll see the Trindon and Chad combo again this year, based on field position. Probably Trindon and Brooks on kickoffs.

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.

Opinions and conversation. That's the entire purpose of this board.

and i dont see him going straight from a KR/PR straight to the huddle to play QB.

Never saw Dominick, Skylar or Early play much, huh?

And Early was trained as a wide receiver at LSU, to have hands to catch the ball, RS has had no such experience. Having RS as a KR as a true freshman is just dumb.

Debatable. I'd argue field position and turnovers are the two most important factors in a game.
