Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

Anyone else get a little surge of adrenalin when Brown is waiting under a kick off/punt? He looks like a big play waiting to happen at any time, for either team. If he catches and holds on to the ball he is lightening quick with electric feet. However, he also has electric hands and seems just as likely to fumble it. Makes him very exciting to watch as he could be a game changer, for good or bad. As long as he makes big plays like he did against Arizona I hope that people forgive the inevitable, odd bad play. People like him make watching football great.

Brown probably just needs either more coaching or better decision making in when to return or not return a ball. Thing with Brown as I can see Gibbs pulling him out with a reverse or something later on. Rather have Brown back there than Morton. I believe Brown has as many run backs for TD's for the Redskins as Morton did?

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

I think Brown could be an important part of this roster for many years to come, but he needs better concentration. He cannot keep muffing punt returns. Also, if he sees a bunch of people coming before the ball gets to him he needs to call fair catch. Was i the only one worried when he caught the ball in the midst of all those defenders, that he was about to get popped and fumble the ball? But his speed - it's just amazing. If he watches some game film of Dante Hall returning kicks and punts, i'm sure he'd learn a lot.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

Honestly, I'd rather have Thrash back on punts and Brown back on kickoffs.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

brown has a lot of potential. he comes from a tough background.

Ding ding ding!. Brown is way too risky back on punts right now. He is amazing to watch returning so keep him for kickoffs and put anyone who can catch the ball back on punts. Good call Malcolm.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

He was making me hella nervous, the guy really needs to understand when to fair catch it. First he fumbled that one return and then he caught it with a guy all over him. He seemed to settle down after that though, I'm sure Danny Smith was in his ear telling him it's ok to fair catch it once in a while.

I was hollering for a flag on the play where he didn't fair catch it 'cause I thought, "He must have signaled - what kind of idiot wouldn't?". I can't believe he didn't - he's definitely killing my blood pressure.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

When he does catch it though, the guy is mustard. I'd love to see him involved in a few offensive plays, just to stretch the field if nothing else.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

can't they do that drill with him where they shoot tennis balls out of a football machine. supposedly that technique has been really succesful at softening up brick hands. i agree that brown is a ticking time bomb and that his costing us a game is matter of when, not if.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

Antonio Brown is our new "50/50".

what a gamble he is. definitely for kick offs, no more punt returns unless we're real behind.

I agree. We need Thrash back. Doesn't have the silly jets like Brown, but the man has glue on his fingers for punt returns.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

I agree with the suggestion someone else made on the board. Use A. Brown only for kickoffs in the remaining games, and field Moss or Thrash or Farris on punts.

The Giants suck on kick-off and punt coverage (look at their game against the Minn. Viqueens) - so look forward to Antonio Brown taking a kickoff to the house next week.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

morton was despised for fair catching brown is hated for never calling for a FC ;) maybe he should replace the ade as our 4th corner... its not like anyone's going to be able to run away from him.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

I really like this guy but he's definitely a little crazy. He doesn't call for a fair catch with 5 guys in his face, then in the 2nd half he fair catches with 20 yards of room. Although I have a feeling the latter was an order from the coaching staff.

Antonio's the best threat we've had back there in a long time. He's just got to hold on to the ball. I would have thought he'd learned a lesson by his first week cut. I like the suggestion of having him return kickoffs only. Or maybe force him to fair catch every single punt.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

Great physical skills but iffy mental judgment ability. I hope he continues to improve.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

I like the occasional punt return threat of Santana Moss!

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

i love the threat of brown back there because he is almost like he has a chance to go all the way every time he touches the ball.one thing i can guarantee is if he muffs or fumbles just once on saturday,his day will be done.on thrash,the only thing he gives you as a returner is guaranteed possesion,thats it(although thats a big one)no return skills at all,the king of fair catch

You're kidding, right? My heart drops anytime I see them put our [u]only[/u] wide receiver back there to field a punt!

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

Nah, I hate to see them call a play where Santana Moss is on punt returns..to me that is waaaay too risky. It would detrimental if Moss was to get hurt.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

I find it strange that people are so reluctant to put Moss back to return kicks but have no problem with our starting DB's, a postion that we are thin at, as our gunners on punts. Why do you think Carlos Rogers is hurt? If we're putting the balls to the wall on every other ST unit, why not throw Moss in there a few times? I doubt he would get hurt, he's pretty damn elusive. He probably has just as much chance to get hurt as he does on any other play.

more plays = higher overall risk... he's smaller than almost everyone on the team and the returners take more hits than gunners (that can jump out of bounds to run past people). I agree that if we're throwing out our entire starting secondary on special teams that one more starter isn't an exceptionaly higher risk for one game, but losing moss would kill our offense.

Re: Antonio Brown - electric feet....but electric hands too!
 

I would like to see us do a latteral today on a kick off, kinda like the music city mirical, or even a reverse on kickoff. I wonder why Gibbs hasnt done that yet this go around? He used to do it on some what of a reagular basis, you know the trick special team play...

If we do it I bet we would get a touchdown, the giants would bite on something like that so hard they would look like highschoolers out there as Moss or Brown streaked up the sideline...
