Landry returning punts
-
So Landry just started returning punts part way through the last game. No real pub about it. Overshadowed by other things l suppose.
Yet there he was, multi million heart of the wideouts guy returning punts.
Interesting move and all, but l dunno. Thoughts?
-
If hes the best man for the job then put back there.
I hate the "protecting your investment" mindset. This football players are going to get hurt. Each game is too important to look ahead
-
Landry is an absolute KEY to our offense. I am another who doesn't like to risk him returning punts.

Who else? Duke? Callaway?
Don't think we have anyone else.
Cribbs is coaching
-
Callaway is listed 2nd, but I'm not sure they trust him with punt returns, especially in the situation we were in last week
-
Landry was back there because Pep hurt his shoulder. If your normal pouny returner isn't back there, and you aren't comfortable with the backup, you go to the guy with the sure hands. Landry wasn't back there to make a play, he was back there to not muff it

I'm assuming "pouncy" is a typo?
I'm sitting here racking my brain, trying to figure out what "pouncy" means for a minute.

And then his brain started to smoke.

Yes. I hate to think about an "oh sh|t" moment and then "who's Landry's backup for the next ___ months?"
Risky business. An 0-16 team will have holes to fill this is one of them, next man up time and hope for the best.

No way I would have Landry returning kicks. Put in someone else who can catch the ball. No need to risk a pro bowl caliber WR returning kicks. That's how you lose a vital player for the season and could ruin his career if its a major injury.

Almost a no-brainer......hey coyote, what's new pal? Ready for the BROWNS winning streak?
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
It was very obvious to me that he was the MUCH better candidate, but I worry about potential injury. I'm not sure we can afford to lose him on a punt return. Landry is a GIANT piece of our offense.

Thoughts? Why is not our All American punt returner, Peppers, back there doing that job? He was supposed to be the next Devin Hester/Josh Cribbs as a return man. So far he is just the next Statue of Liberty.....standing there with his hand in the air to make a fair catch.
(I just thought of that....the Statue of Liberty/fair catch thing.....I think its kinda funny)

Hahahaha. Funny.
That Peppers fair catch thing STILL bothers me. Like I said in another post, the Raiders have basically lose EVERY game at the end, due to a play or two. A fair catch like that could literally be the difference between winning and losing. We simply aren't good enough to overcome things like that, ya know?
What I liked about Jarvis was his decisiveness. He caught it, he ran with it. And he caught it very well, securely.
Our special teams coach WANTS Callaway catching punts, but Hue overruled him. Hue didn't want something so heavy on a rookie's shoulders, which I can understand. When Callaway is ready, he'll be out there, and he'll likely be very good at it.

Calloway? No, it should be Peppers. OK, maybe he is dinged up a bit. But he has still sucked balls as a punt returner. Half the reason we took him in round one was for his supposed return abilities....because it was admitted that his coverage skill were deficient. He may do all right as an in the box safety....but I suggest that we could have gotten what we have gotten out of him from like a 5th round pick. If he can't return picks, if he can't cover, if he can't intercept a ball (when was the last time that happened?).....if all he can do is tackle in the box, we could have just drafted a Linebacker later in the draft. We would have been better off with a guy like Eddie Baker, now of the Bears, taken in round 4, who, as a safety has done much better than Peppers. Or Budda Baker, taken in round 2 by the Cards.
Point is, this guy needs to step up more in his primary role as a DB/KR......(and so does Njoku). Lets not have these guys become just another Ghost of Browns first round picks past.....pretty much all of whom have been busts for the last 10 years.

Well Scotland Keith has a Njoku jersey so that guy is fucked for his long term prospects for the Browns.

So? Anyone whose jersey Kmac wears turns to shite? Maybe the moral of the story is that any time he comes into town, tear that jersey off and burn it....and make him wear like pink puffy shirts when he is here.
