special teams in the 'ship - Irish Envy

**clashmore_jon** · 12-31-2012, 10:28 AM

since i'm just trying to kill time until the 7th, i thought this could make an interesting conversation:

in BK's dec 29th press conference he said special teams will be "all hands on deck", whereas previously this year he has said we've been using walk ons, etc to help protect some of the guys where we're a little thin. BK said on the 29th that he doesn't have to worry about his guys getting overworked since this is a one game scenario.

I don't think anyone would be too surprised about that as this is the title match. Who do you think we will see playing on ST that hasn't already been there? Nix returning punts maybe?

I could see Cierre returning kickoffs and Riddick returning punts, but I don't claim to be in the know

GAIII is a pretty good returner. Davonte is good and as much as I love Theo I dont want to see him returning punts. This is going to be starters working as blockers on Kick and Punt return

agreed buster...i don't want anyone back in the punt return other than neal...i know we keep wanting something special to happen but i prefer someone who has been repping it throughout the year....i think a change spells trouble...i know some will point to mike floyd but it is the blocking that needs to be changed not the returner

Kickoff and punt coverage have been pretty good so I don't know if we will see too much with that. Maybe a starter or to will cover kicks and/or punts maybe.

No change in returner. Guys repping all year should be back there.

Yes I see starters being used as blockers for the return game.
