Malazan Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 good return guy. too bad we didn't have a spot for him anymore. new guy doesn't look too great I'd rather have Thigpen than Moore returning for sure.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 For everyone complaining about thigpen catching two punts inside the 10 last week, where are you? Moore did the same, plus fumbled the ball away that almost lost us the game. I regretted this move when it was made, and Sunday only cemented my view.

I regretted this move when it was made, and Sunday only cemented my view. id give the guy more than 4 days with the team before final judgement. we just picked up a respectable receiver that shouldnt be a large dropoff in the return game (if any). yea, i know, the one fumble -- but it was on the tail end of a 30 yard return, so he did flash a little.

Punching Bag Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It appears to be way to shake up the team and unfortunately it failed; hopefully WR coach is good judge of talent regarding Moore and he will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Keep in mind Leodis is coming back too. We can put him back on punts, especially if he's lost his starting job. Random side note: I saw Leodis in the parking lot in Nashville immediately after the game. He was walking well and dodging fans like a first round pick. It was kinda weird that he was out there so fast and not with the team. Anyone else see him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been one game but I am inclined to agree with you. Moore looks like McKelvin 2.0. Hopefully he steps it up. Tbh no idea why we signed him. I mean we already have 20 other WRs that could be competent return men. Goodwin for example. Hell, I wouldnt mind if they stuck Dez Lewis back there.

Personally I think they should put Woods back there. He was a tremendous PR in college.

He has 7 career, in under 200 touches while we are looking at the new guy having 6 in right around 200 (don't recall the exact numbers) Though apparently we have fans expecting a 1 fumble in 3 touches rate to continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that Coughlin won't let a non-player travel with the team. It might also be a team's FO policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 For everyone complaining about thigpen catching two punts inside the 10 last week, where are you? Moore did the same, plus fumbled the ball away that almost lost us the game. I regretted this move when it was made, and Sunday only cemented my view. Now we can look forward to Leodis back there... It's nerve racking wondering if he'll still be thinking about the hot dog sandwich debate as the ball decends from the sky towards him while his heels are planted on the 13yar line... i don't think so. Karlos returned Kickoffs in college and Herron did as well and also with the Colts... But don't know about PR for any of them. Denarius returned punts for the Raiders.
