Lucky dances around too much. He'll dance around for 30 yards but only come up with an 8 yard return.
Hey I like it when Lucky carries the ball. It gives me time to leave the cave, use the facilities and make a sandwich without missing any game action.

I like him at KR where it one cut and run but he lacks the wiggle to be a plus PR.

The blocking on ST has been atrocious.

He made one nice play vs Green Bay for 35 yards but other than that he just runs around like a chicken with their head cut off. He has no clue where he's going, just dances around until he's corralled.

KRs don't concern me much. The 25 is actually not a bad place to start. You are basically only 1 nice 1st down series away from your own 40. Can't complain too much about that.

Lucky scares me on PRs, however. I keep waiting for him to fumble. He jumps around and gets mobbed by players surrounding him trying to punch the ball out. Then he goes down.

I mean. Its not that he is bad at PRs per se. He's just not that good.

But who else do we have that we would risk in that type of role? I'm personally not comfortable with Dez doing it. The opposing special teams players would be licking their chops. Who cares if they get a 15 yrd penalty for a late hit or unsportsmanlike conduct if they can take a free shot at getting Dez gone from the game?

And we've tried just about everyone else. And they aren't very good either.

Might as well stick with Lucky at this late stage and address it in the off-season if possible.
