It's hard to question anything this team (players, coaches, honey badgers, etc.) have done so far this year, but I believe we heard that upon Russel Shepard's return against West Virgina, that we would see him as a returner some. He has yet to do so. We had Patrick Peterson for 3 years, yet he only returned kicks his last because Trindon did the prior two. And Peterson was one of the most dynamic returners we ever had. Was just wondering. Thoughts?

Honestly, I don't trust Shepard when it comes to ball security. This team is playing great now. I don't want to start shaking things up now

He's got the speed, but if he was the best he would have been doing this.

Holliday did it for two years with Peterson not given the chance and didn't have the best ball security. I believe we could all agree that Peterson would have been better back there after what he showed us last year. I'm just saying I wouldn't mind seeing him given an opportunity at least on kickoffs where it's a little easier fielding the ball.

I mean this isn't his first, or even second, year so they'll produce who the best returner is.

PLEASE NO.

We don't need big plays, just ball security.

Shep will put more points on the opposing team's score board before helping us out.
