Saw it this afternoon, but didn't see a thread for it. Sorry if I missed one. It's something, I suppose, given how awful our ST's have been, return game included.

But really, it must've been a really slow week for special teams if they gave it to a player from a losing team.

Has it been explained why he ran so slow? Was he hurt?

I think he was in shock.

I could see his little mind running, wow I've never run this far before, what I am supposed to do now? Maybe, I'll ask those guys frantically waving me forward in the end zone, maybe they know what I am supposed to do next.:cam:

Specials teams returners don't have to be blazing fast, they have to be quick accelerators, be able to see holes and creases and make a few guys miss. After that it is a foot race. Mark Jones a few years ago was incredibly slow but he got the most out of every return and had a very solid return average. If speed were everything, then Edwards would be amazing and he clearly isn't.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
