How many more times will Philly Brown muff a punt before he's pulled?

[Cary Kollins]

Probably 3 or 4.

Philly's problem is he is out of position.  On all of those muffs, he's sprinting to where the ball is coming down.  If you have to get into position as the ball is coming down, I would rather you back away from it.  So Brown will have to position himself better so he can catch the ball cleanly.

 

I agree.  He often seems to be lunging at the last second for it.

i'd be lieing if i said i didn't hold my breath after every punt return he catches

Philly B. is a liability to this team as a punt returner and you best brlieve opposing nfl coaches will try their best capitalize.so who would consider as a replacement?LaMichael James,currently on the miami dolphins practice squad.

Devin Hester had 8 fumbles his rookie year. 8. Philly Brown has had 2 fumbles in 5 games. Rookies fumble. You don't just scrap their careers after 2 fumbles or you'll have a constant revolving door of non-developing players.

I see problems, but I also see potential.  I think even though he returned the punt for a TD, he seemed shaken after that punt because he got absolutely BLASTED, illegally so at that.  IMO, you can't give up on him right now because You don't want to take him off the active roster because he WILL get gobbled up by another team, and without cutting him, I don't see another spot available to trim to add another returner.  Summation, stick with him and give him a chance to learn from his mistakes.

And now has 35 in 7 plus years.

Sometimes the good outweighs the bad.

But there must be a lot of good.

Yeah I wish we had someone else in they totally would've returned everything for a td! Dude scored a td on a punt return( first time since smith was back there) and you are suggesting we replace him.

Philly has the exact same return yard average that Devin did his rookie year, too.

Marc mariani. Nothing flashy. Just catches the ball and gets what he can.

[pantherfan49]

Let's just bring back Mark Jones.

Unless we get another returner, bobbling Philly is going to cost us a game.

[camycamcan]

He had a fuging return TD today. Stfu

so and it wasn't even a legit one I could have scored that's almost 2 blown games by him
