Okay...coach Richard Rodgers has done a nice job with this unit......now he has some different things to consider for 2014. Gano and Norman are the strengths and should continue to be so. Getting Colin Jones back retains a solid player for him....now the question. This team needs decent field position with the offense they run and can't afford to constantly be pinned back. So take your pick...Barner and Pilares seem to be the guys.....maybe give brown,underwood or whom a try? Ginn at least was a threat to break one back there,but I doubt Barner or Pilares can ever provide that. Over looked, but important aspect of the game....one outstanding return can turn any game on a dime...so what does the all mighty huddle thinks will be the answer.

I must say. Most ST threads are a little lame in their scope and theme. You sir have asked great questions and delivered succinct content. With that said I think we have many options and the guy returning kicks will change frequently until week 7. Then I believe we'll settle on someone. I'm thinking Underwood or Barner. I'm not sure Pilares will make the final roster.

I apologize for the grammar. Phone is turrible.

Let Ted Ginn go. Get no replacement. Great

 

3 years, nearly $10 million. 

 

You have to let him go with our cap situation. 

 

I think Underwood is the replacement.  I Do not know how to replace Ginn's production on a budget.

Underwood has elite speed but not elite acceleration. Not sure he's a good fit as a return man.

This will be an interesting camp battle as it might make or break someone's chance to stay on the team eg Pilares.

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
