He took punt back last year against Jags that changed the game. Wasn’t for TD but was very long return. Yes he is needed as a CB for sure but he could give team a boost with a good return. And with these divisional games we need all the help we can get to get the W.

For what it's worth I'm pretty sure he's had a couple long ones taken back by penalty, including a TD return.

If your only long returns were called back due to penalties then you only made those long returns because of those penalties. 

 

Dude's playmaker status as a returner is a myth. It's fan hype. That's it.

You apparently haven’t seen his highlights at USC. He’s a strange athlete. Even though he’s under 6 foot he matches up better with Gordon than a guy like Hilton. He’s a quick twitch guy with long strides. We are going to keep him at PR, I can guarantee you that.

I've seen them but more importantly I've seen him on returns for the past 2 years. People need to give up on this idea and move on.

Yes, they probably will.

But if he doesn't quit dropping the Gawddamned ball he's gonna end up costing this team a game.

The defense bailed him out in the WC game last year, and again against the Pats.

But he's gotta stop that shit.

I don't like seeing Adoree back there returning.  Last year, I hated seeing him used on offense too.  Ever heard of the rookie wall, those idiots had him out there in all three phases of the game.  Why risk a starting CB?  As the year progressed he started trying to field them and grab them nano-seconds away from getting blown up because teams had quickly caught on to him.

 

I would put him back there in the playoffs.

 

Another JRob pick.  This time he felt Adoree would slip, so he didn't use draft capital to move up.  I think in five years people are going to be amazed at the JRob drafts.  That's why I gave him an A in that rate the GM thread.

Me too.

Adoree is quite effective, but too reckless as a PR.  Most guys aim to get to the sidelines and either take minimal gain or hope to break a big play, but he really seeks to maximize each return.

 

He doesn't return the ball enough to qualify (<10 attempts) but he'd be in the top 10, without any huge returns to skew this figure.  But he tries to go right through the heart of the opposing team, and he's far too valuable for that.

 

We shouldn't be knocking a guy who hasn't had any home run returns in 9 attempts, but we should also try to minimize his risk for injury.

Wasn't Camapanaro hired for those duties? Sure, he got injured, but he isn't on IR anymore.

They better give him the returning tasks, to keep Jackson safe on those matters.
