Wade sez we're going to take a kick returner today. Short list follows here

[igtmfo]

Wade came out of the war room early Saturday and made comments on the Fan 105.3, saying ....

We weren't likely to get a starter at 51. In general this weekend we are looking for sub package guys (like third down DBs or pass rushers? .. fourth receivers ??), special teamers and

"A kick returner"

Hm ... collegefootballnews.com only lists six guys as possible NFL return studs. So is it:

Brandon Tate, WR, N. Carolina?

Derrick Williams, WR, Penn State?

CB D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt 5-9, 190 ? (good CB, small but slow, quick not fast, good returner)

CB Lardarius Webb, Nicholls State 5-10, 180 ? (really good punt returner)

CB Joe Burnett, UCF 5-10, 190 ? (STAR punt returner in college)

FS Derek Pegues, Mississippi State 5-9, 195 (offfield issues, quick not fast)

So that means we will go OL heavy.

Who cares what Wade says, he's not in charge! :laugh2:

If they were smart, they would send a 5th for Parrish to the Bills instead of searching for a KR... even though I thought we already had that covered in having Felix on the roster. Whatever...

Yep - Felix is a great kick returner and we aren't using his talent. Playing not to get injured is bull****.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Joe Burnett is an awesome punt returner and will be very surprising as a CB. I hope they get him.

Why not have the Bills throw Parrish in yesterday's trade?

Might have looked like a better deal...

What about Arizona's Mike Thomas?

 

[Hostile]

Mike Thomas, WR/KR/PR, Arizona. I tell you this guy is a difference maker.

You can't measure heart.

I'd be amped if we get Thomas.

 

[Spectre]

If you're talking return-ability, Mike Thomas FTW.

I'm glad others feel the same.

Actually, that's what I had hoped since the trade didn't even add up evenly from the scorecards...

 

[Hostile]

Me too. I think he is an instant upgrade at 3 positions.

 

[CactusCowboy]

Mike Thomas, please!

 

[tomson75]

Three?

Slot receiver, punt returner, and ???

Does he have kickoff return experience too?

Doesn't matter to me....his presence in the slot alone is enough for me. Anything else is a bonus.

He is also a Kick Returner. I am fine with saving Felix for RB duties if someone else can be KR.

On top of that he is a team leader and high character guy.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Thomas, Webb, and even Pegues IMO would be great additions.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

Give me Derrick Williams...

At least he plays with some swag.
