I really don't understand the desire to upgrade the punt returner position anyways. Captain did just fine last year.

Must have been watching diff games. Although he did look 100x more confident this preseason. I think Captain will be way more confident in everything he does with a 2nd year under his belt.

I don't care who does PRs as long as they don't turn the damn ball over. In fact, I don't really care if they get any positive yards on returns as long as they don't muff or fumble.

I 100% agree.

I wouldn't care if we lined up all 11 for a block every time and never even tried a return. It is not like we ever take one to the house anyway!!!:mad2:

If Goodson was 100% with catching kickoffs, I'd try him at PR. But I've seen him drop a few in the endzone during kick returns. I do like the Cap'n back there though. He's not as bad as a lot of people seem to think. I think he's got good field vision, and he doesn't try and juke a whole bunch of players. He gets up field, gets what he can, and lets the offense go to work. While we're on the subject of returners... I thought David Gettis did a decent job on kick returns during the preseason finale. Perhaps he'll get a shot back there on Sunday!

Also, they tried Goodson at returning punts last year and he fumbled at least one, if I remember correctly. Not that he couldn't have improved since, of course.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
