He gets told to fair catch.

 

 

On a side note, if the punter is backed up to the back of the end zone, would you send 11? If he gets off a good punt, you still get the ball near midfield. Talk amongst yourselves.

Kid can't return a punt to save his life but Philly might be a big fuging deal in the future. He is on pace to have near 500 total yards of offense and he is rarely used. Imagine him next year if Cotch or Avant are gone and Ricky had a year to coach him up.

[The Huddler]

Excited for philly as a WR but one way or another the ball hits the ground wayy to often on punt returns. If you are not willing to admit that this is a very negative aspect that needs to change then idk what the fug is wrong with you. Its going to cost us a game.

He has 2 fumbles in 5 games, my math must suck cause I'm not sure how that is a muffed punt in every game. Or are muffs different from fumbles?

I like what I've seen from Philly Brown at the WR spot. He gets open and he's fast. Nice player for trickery stuff like end arounds and reverses but he fugs up too much as a punt returner. I think he's scared shitless in that role.

This doesn't seem accurate. If he was afraid he would simply fair catch everything. He's having the opposite problem. He gets so few touches that he wants to take everything and make a play on it. I joked with my brother at the game that the only punt he fair caught was the only one he should have returned. The problem he's having is judging the appropriate distance and setting his feet under him when fielding punts. He's either coming up too far on them or he's coming up short. It's a correctable problem. It's like an outfielder in baseball that takes bad routes to the ball. Experience will help him have a better sense of where he needs to be to get under punts while simultaneously checking to see how close the gunners are to making a play on him. Right now, he's not able to look down and see how far the coverage team has advanced on him because he's having to focus all his energy on trying to determine where the punt is going to land and securing the catch. He's guessing by time if his blocks have held up and that's a terrible idea. On his touchdown return he should have fair caught that ball ten out of ten times.

i could see our opponents game plan to put the ball in philly's hands more this year on special teams, because it seems clear that he is WAY too weak, and is susceptible to coughing it up when defenders attempt to strip the ball. he is going to have to gain a substantial amount of strength in order to not be a potential liability on returns in the nfl...teams will be attempting to exploit that.

 

as a wr, im very impressed with his route running, hands, and consistency. he's ridiculously polished for an undrafted free agent without character concerns, and if he puts in the effort to gain some more strength, he WILL be a gem for us moving forward!

Honestly, if i can put a positive spin on his fug ups, it is that he wants to do more than he has learned to do, but i will take that over any underachieving player any day.

Imho the special team is not playing as a team.

The returners are not the only one to blame.

I'm still on the Philly Wagon. The kids is special when you get the ball in his hands

Hating on Philly would be like hating on Sunshine or Fozzy. Sure you can but it just seems wrong

[JccOldTime23]

On his touchdown return he should have fair caught that ball ten out of ten times.

Am I remembering this play wrong? I'm fairly certain he did call for a fair catch on that play but he got hit before the ball got to him anyway.
