Right now, the Spring Depth Chart has Coley and Burns as our return men on kickoffs. Who do you want to see back there? Duke? Corn? Standish Dobard?


I'm riding with Coley and Burns - if Gray ever gets here, I'd put him in the mix as well.


What about punt returns?

Coley and Burns until I see how Corn and Duke have recovered. I hate to risk studs to injury on special teams, but their abilities in that phase of the game is what makes them the studs they are.

I wonder what Tucker looks like there and there is just something about Dorsett that I don't like back there.
 
lol @ Standish. Big Money is fast, but I am not sure he has the change of direction to keep up with them other boys.

Give me Coley and Carter on kick returns...anybody but Duke (our little golden child must not get hurt returning kicks)

On punt return, since I already used Coley, would be either Burns or Corn.
 
I just can't bring myself to put Duke back there coming off surgery. He's a special talent, but we saw what happened when he got injured last year. Protect that asset.

Tucker intrigues the crap out of me - he's been getting rave reviews all Spring and has been really pushing Gus (granted, there's nobody else right now.) I wouldn't mind giving him a shot - kid is fast as ****.

Needs to stop diving at people's knees. His current injury was a can happen to anyone at anytime injury, but the head first into knee technique is asking for trouble.

Not a huge fan of burns back there, hasnt looked electric with the ball in his hands. Rather an offensive player, or corn
 
Burns? I don't know, he had a tough run against VT. It wasn't the best way to get experience but he likely improved.


You want the playmaker to get the ball, that would be Coley and Duke.

I'd want burns and someone we don't have to rely on for our season to be good. Burns and Dorsett would be quite a tandem.
