With the 16th Pick, Washington Selects…

Sounds like he has a couple return touchdowns too, but I don't know how often he did that. I did see that play you are talking about. He blocked the kick, but he did not return it for a touchdown. That was someone else.

He does seem to be a playmaker...

I must have gotten over-excited and let my mind imagine that he scored. Anyway, I'm warming up to the pick now that he's claiming to have gained 15 pounds.

Great pre-draft discussion about Forbes on Sheehan's Wednesday podcast with Smooty...

He is the reason they scored - still a playmaker kinda play obviously.

I too am warming up to the pick. I have some reservations about his size, but it hasn't been an issue to this point, so maybe it won't be at the next level either...especially with the nutrition/strength & conditioning plan they will most assuredly begin very soon.

The return game question is a good one. I don't know that using our#1 pick and likely starting corner as a returner is a good move. But I do wonder whether we could pick up a real return threat in later rounds. It's been way too long since we've had a true threat back there on kicks.

So true. We've had some great return men over the years and I miss the excitement they provided.

I'm old enough to remember us using Darrell Green as return man in a playoff game (remember those?) I think against Chicago. He scored but was injured on the play, ribs maybe. So the point of maybe not using a starting corner as return guy is a good one. Except maybe in the playoffs...

Yeah at only 166lbs it would be best to rarely use Forbes in the return game.

Soon! I miss you guys. I’ve been getting my news from Reddit most of the time and it’s a jungle in there lol

To be fair to Darrell, he was already hurt before that play, him hurdling a defender just reaggravated it
