Kickoff Returns...

Am I the only that loves Ginn as a punt returner and WR, but think he leaves a lot left to be desired as a kickoff returner. 

 

I really think Barner could be given a shot again as KR, but I do share the concern about fumbling possibility, but Ginn has those concerns too. 

 

Also, I think it would help reduce the risk of injury to Ginn, KR is a high risk job, and I would hate for him to go down on it.  He is too vital to our offense now. 

 

Yes, I know we are 9-3 and have won 8 in a row, but we can always get better and kickoff field position hasn't been great.

Not much blocking out there

 

That could be the issue, but i feel like we have decent blocking for Ginn on PRs. 

 

I dunno, its hard to really tell about the blocking without the All-22. 

 

But again, the injury risk on they play was part of the concern too. 

 

If Barner is going to be active, use him.

Agree with teh above posters that the blocking has worsened the last few weeks.  Not sure how or why, though injuries to Hartsock and Blackburn may be playing an issue, but I still think Ginn is our best returner option at this point... give the guy a seam and he's gone.  Just have to get the seam.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
