Do we try to sign a new returner?

We definitely need to try something different. To me, Munnerlyn and Sutton are below average...which is awesome when compared to the rest of our group.

To me, AE is done as a returner. I wanna see Witherspoon/New Guy compete for the job now...

How about a new ST staff? But for the short term, I would say find someone.

We need help in the worst way.

Tonight's poor ST play had absolutely nothing to do with the coaches. These were not scheme issues.....these guys just can't catch the damn ball.

Just what are you looking for? Someone to take it back for a TD every return? As long as they catch the ball and get a few yards they will be more than fine. As they say, it is a game of field position. I'd rather have a consistent returner who gets x number of yards instead of one who gets little-to-none but breaks a big one every now and then.

Edwards probably killed any chance he had of being activated this season.

That's the sad part. I don't mean to be critical only into the 2nd preseason game...but AE looked uncomfortable enough for Zod/Gantt to talk about stashing him on PS way back during training camp. And from what I've seen in the 1st game and heard in tonight's game, he is just not a returner.

Witherspoon, Goodson, somebody new...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
