I've watched very little college football over the last couple of years so forgive my ignorance, please. Do any of the players we drafted have good punt return skills? Are any of them good enough to displace Crayton?

It looks like we have beefed up the return coverage teams with all the tweeners and DB's we drafted. Under the rule prohibiting the wedge on KO returns those guys are more valuable than the bigger guys. Of course that assumes that they will make the team.

The good thing about Crayton is that he doesn't fumble or muff the catch very often. He's okay. He just isn't a threat to break one now and then.

Wade just mentioned in the PC that someone was a PR too. He said that he was a S but I didnt catch the name. Maybe its Hamlin.

Suppposed to be DeAngelo Smith, but he had 4.57 40 at the combine. I'd rather sign Wyoming RB Devon Moore who runs in the 4.3's.

When I heard we had traded with the Bills yesterday I was hoping Roscoe Parrish was involved. That would have taken care of the PR position for sure. :rolleyes:

I heard one of the DBs from Cincy was supposedly picked because he provides depth and because he can actually return some punts as well.

Yes, that was Smith.

But Decamillis said they'd use Newman back there more this year.

According to Kiper DeAngelo Smith ran a 4.50 at the combine.

Having a healthy Felix Jones is always good for the return game, punt and kickoff.
