Kick Returns - who ya got?

Berrios is another one that I really want to see back there, but it'll all depend on his recovery.

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.

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.

I cringed every time he pass blocked.
 
I am all for putting defensive guys back there, and I love Carter and Burns as players- but neither of them has impressed me returning yet (i believe both had a couple of opportunities last year, right?)...Elder showed something in his (what one?) attempt(s). But as far as true studs returners that hail from the defensive side of the ball - like tay tay and E Reed were for us, i think we are going to have to wait for the arrival of Tim Irvin and Jaquan Johnson (please god let them commit, please lord make it happen!)

Coley and duke. You have no choice but to kick to one of them . 2 of the most expolosive players in the country on the same offense. They put points on the board. Both of them need to be in on special teams
 
first 3 quarters- coley and burns
4th quarter in losing game/acc cg/bowl- coley and duke
 
Duke and Burns on KR 50% of the time, Dorsett and Burns the other 50%
Coley on PR


What's funny is people saying not to use Duke because he might get hurt, but using Coley on both PR and KR is kosher, when Coley's importance is second only to Duke's because of the relative depth of the WR position vs the lack thereof at RB.

@206lb and an upper classman, I have a feeling duke will lay the wood on a few lb/s that he picks up on a blitz

And he was already a great blocker at 196 pounds.....

I'm thinking Coley and Yearby on KR and Malcolm Lewis on PR. Malc has great hands ,some quicks and he is going to have a tough time getting touches with all these studs at WR. I think Yearby could be special on KR.....

2nd string would be A Crawford/ Corn as KR and DC as the 2nd string PR. He has some shake in his game, not necessarily a breaker but a very good guy to have there for 10-15 yard average...

Burns/Dorsett.... great speed, no vision.

Carter? I think we have more explosive.

Berrios could be an option if healthy.

And Corn as the extra KR would be good to see.
 
Anyone saying yearby definitely have not watched yearby over the years..... He is best at rb, not any special teams. I'm not saying he can't do it but he is not in the top 5 who are best at Kick return on miami's team. It should be coley and duke. Then after them Elder and Burns/ Lewis.... Punt return should be coley and then Malcolm Lewis.....
