Coach Fox on Sirius

I really think Cap't will get the fumbles under control and we will see him as the full time punt returner by about week 3 or 4. (maybe even see him back there this week). He really shows potential. A small guy with speed and spirit, we did it once lets hope lightning will strike twice in the same place.

The only names I can think of that have done it in the past are Gamble, Smitty, Marshall and DeAngelo and I don't see Fox putting key players back there.

He's done it before and the team lives by the mentality of "its all football any play can cause injury." I would be a little worried if he went out on a limb and put any of those 4 back there but it wouldn't surprise me..

The only thing that would worry me is the fact that the Eagles would be gunning to try to injure one of those guys..

I expect it will be Smitty. At least until someone else shows they can do it. Gamble won't do it unless Smitty refuses.

Seems pretty risky putting Smitty in there. Besides the fact he is a great receiver.....there are are so few receivers. Besides, at this point, Fox just wants someone who will not fumble. Smitty already had an injury in TC. If he got seriously hurt the first game returning punts................

I could only see that late in the season with a desperate team.

    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
    • as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
