Special Teams Td's
 

Hey Guys,

How many special team TD's we will be going to make this coming season

for me here is the breakdown

1. Randle El - 3 on Kickoffs, 3 on punts
2. Betts - 1 on kickoffs, and punts
3. Archuleta - 1 of fumble return after kickoffs
4. Sellers - 1 on fumble returns after kickoffs
5. Mcune - 1 on fumble returns after opponents punts

seams like an explosive and dangerous ST that we have

6 ST TDs for Randle El? Not going to happen! If We get 2 or 3 ST TDs I'll be ecstatic.

I concur. That's more realistic.

Re: Special Teams Td's
 

last year betts had 1 and brown had 1. jumping from 2 tds to 10 is insane. we'll probably get 3 or 4. (hall in his best year only had 4).

the average starting position will be MUCH better (maybe 10+ yards) which is the more important stat. TDs on returns are just rare.

Re: Special Teams Td's
 

I'd say 3 ST TDs. I also don't know how many kick offs Randle El will return next year. In one of his interview he said he was willing to, but would rather not.

with all the money, hopefully he'll do it whether he loves it or not. He's much better at it than trash (Mr. Fair Catch) and "let's run into the nearest pile" Betts.

I'm not sure but I think Thrash will be cut. Gibbs hasn't given up on Jacobs yet. He still has a lot of upside. And don't give me that "He's had his chance".

I kinda agree with you that Gibbs hasn't given up on Jacobs yet, but he's had more than a few chances and his upside is questionable. I think Gibbs will keep him because he's young and cheap and so we don't get stuck in a situation where Antonio Brown or Jimmy Farris are getting quality minutes.

can you give a reason why not? the "i think i have a concussion" statements? the "one guy runs a 4.2 the other runs a 4.4, what do you expect me to do?" thing? the missing time because a butterfly tapped him? he got starts and managed less than 1 catch per game getting nothing but single coverage.

that's pretty dreadful.

we might keep him cause he's cheap, but there's not much upside left.

Back on topic, 10 team ST touchdowns is just silly.. 4 is a phenomenal year, it'd be thrilled with that.

I hope Randle El returns kick offs too. I don't think there is any question he is our # 1 punt returner, but I remember him saying he'd get worn down if he was returning punts, kick offs, and playing receiver on most downs. I understand that, but like you, I want to get some value from our investment.

I say rotate he and Betts on kick offs. Betts will rarely break one open, but he is consistently at the 30 yard line when he goes down. Of course, I don't know if Brown will still be around, but the guy worries me everytime he returns one...

We still have Patten and Loyd which will get alot of downs. Its going to be an interesting year to see how we use these four guys Moss, Patten, Loyd and El.

Re: Special Teams Td's
 

I'd like to see it like this:

1. Moss
2. Lloyd
3. Randle El
4. Patten

I think they could do the most damage like that.

I hope you were being sarcastic.
