i'm telling you, without the wedge he's not going to be as effective as he was last year.

we have to have faster and fancier returners. if you aren't (which he isn't) you won't last.

plus he was having fumble problems of his own and hamstring problems which has bugged him for much of the preseason.

no thanks.

I didn't consider this. Very very good point.

ahhhhh yes

<re-adjusts monocle)

the wedge is no more.... probably led to the Titans decision

very astute theory rayzor. I remember you mentioning this before on another thread.

Gotta spread some around but that was a rule I forgot about this year. That dose very much change the KR game.

Rayzor's point may well filter in to all return struggles. The formation of the wedge is a vantage point and a comfort zone that returners use or at least keep in the back of their mind jsut after looking the ball in. I have seen muffed kicks a lot in pre-season across the league and Mark Jones is not the only person that is returning kicks without the comfort zone of a forming wedge for the first time this season.

just a thought

yes but do you think the captain, moore, or goodson(especially goodson) would get run out of bounds by the kicker?

he was a good returner he just wasn't very dynamic, and this isn't so much a problem as it is growing pains(and danny crossman:mad:). Mark Jones would just be a small band-aid and even worse he would require us to cut moore or jarrett(even though jarrett looks pretty "cutable" by now).

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
