Re: Randle El will still be our primary punt returner

I am not going to sugarcoat this. This is absolute horsesh!t. If he has anything similar to the production from last year, whoever made this decision should be fired at the halfway point of the season.

There is no excuse to completely waste an opportunity that good teams capitalize on. When you score 16 points a game you need to take advantage of punt returns. This really pisses me off.

Hall is begging to do it and they choose ARE?!?! WTF

Re: Randle El will still be our primary punt returner

Randle El's average returning punts for the Steelers: 9.35 with 4 TDs

With the Redskins, it's 7.13 with only 1 TD. The blocking has to be held in account too.

What's Antonio Brown doing these days?

Moving ARE to the slot wont increase his punt return yards. He had all last season to prove himself. Its time for some fresh legs.

I know that owners shouldn't get involved in personnel decisions but this is one time that I beg Snyder to overrule the coaches.

This is lunacy....

Yes Hagans the local product (Out of Hampton Roads) has really good potential as a PR or might work his way into the #5 WR spot.

Cool kid, was living in Hampton for the off-season. We work out at the same gym, really nice guy. Unless you struck up a conversation with him, you would have no idea he was a Redskin or football player for that matter, of course unless you followed him through High school, College, and into the Pro's.

Thats why i didnt want him at the 5 spot. IMO The LAST thing we need is another WR coming off of a past injury. Id rather Marko or the local boy

Well, it looks now like Roydell might even miss the entire preseason so if that's the case he's as good as gone. And then the question is-does someone like Hagans, Mitchell, or Eloi take the #5 WR spot (and conceivably, particularly in Hagans' case, also serve as the punt returner...or do we give DJ Hackett another call?

He hurt a finger. I haven't heard about the x-ray.

Re: Randle El will still be our primary punt returner

Randle El really hasn't shown me he is the man for punt returns. I'd like to see some young blood get in there. There is only one time that Hall needs to return punts or kick offs and that's when we play the ATL dirty birds. He's foaming at the mouth to do it, any other time no. Moss should get some more touches too. He knows, unlike ARE, how to take it to the house.

Re: Randle El will still be our primary punt returner

I don't care what the coaches are saying, if Dorsey or Albright do any good in preseason, they will be the new returner. My figurative money is on Albright, but the only way we have ARE as returner is if every other option fails out. And that would be a very bad thing.

Holy shit dude, if Ethan Albright can beat out ARE, then we've got issues.

That would be a site to see, the red-snapper running over people on punt returns.
