neither are DJ and Christian.

Shi's draft profile:

Analysis: Smith was a shining light in what was a dreary 2020 season for South Carolina. He’s a sure-handed receiver with outstanding quickness and toughness as well as a head for the game. Smith possesses the ability to line up as a third receiver who can be used in the slot, returning punts, or running reverses.

I did finally find stats that show he never returned punts in Columbia, and you are right, KR and PR are two different things. 

I'd rather go get someone than have 5 TEs on the roster and our two best offensive weapons getting more wear and tear.

 

 

 

CMC and DJ Moore have returned punts in the NFL.   

Both returned some in college too.  

so by default, they just listed guys on the roster who have IMO.   I don’t think it means anything.  

I think they will likely throw someone to the wolves that has been working on it in camp if I had to guess.  Which I hate.  Because PR is a weird thing.   Especially in a real game.  I don’t even care about return yards.   Just want it fielded cleanly.

yeah it's officially an unofficial chart.  I have no idea what kind of punters we're facing in the first 3 or 4 weeks, so here's hoping they kick the crap out of the ball and DJ/CMC just fair catch.

will admit though, it is fun to think about Christian catching the ball with 10 yards open space to work with.  Also pretty sure Rhule's focus on downfield blocking in all aspects of the game might not make this as dangerous as past regimes.  Might.

I think there is a 0% chance CMC does it.  His load is going to be too crazy as is.  Maybe DJ if they have zero faith in anyone else.

Speaking of depth chart surprises...

Bell goes to the practice squad while the Ravens add former Panther Trenton Cannon to their main roster.

Just a few years ago people were talking about Bell like he was the best runningback in football.

How the mighty have fallen...

He is a 30 year old RB (technically 29).  He basically is right on schedule.   

Even if he was younger, he doesn't seem like a fit for Baltimore.

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
