Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Ty Nsekhe He could fill in at either tackle spot and not miss a beat. I don't feel quite as comfortable with Bobby Hart and 2 rookies behind our starters. Edited July 23, 2021 by Allen2Diggs 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I voted Roberts. People slept on him. While he made an occasional frustrating decision to bring it out on kick off, that same aggression set us up with great field position on punt returns. Personally, I hope Stevenson is up to the task as a rookie. I like his potential as a receiver long term, but he’ll have to earn his keep as a returner more than likely to stick on this roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) How is Lee Smith not on this list? That's despicable. Also anyone that votes Bojo automatically gets banned I've been told. Edited July 23, 2021 by DJB 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I’m sure Knox is missing his buddy big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patzen Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I went with Nsekhe because if there's an injury early in the season to one of our tackles, Brown probably won't be ready to step in. I liked Roberts but I thought pretty highly of our ST blocking unit and I think as long as our new returner/returners don't have fumblitis we should be good to go back there.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I said Marlowe because I remember reading he played a lot of snaps. Wont be surprised if it’s Roberts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagne591 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I voted for other which translates to (none of them). All this buzz about Roberts....yes he was a good returner but her was just north and south kind of guy who tried to plow over guys with no juke moves what so ever. I think McKenzie will be a big upgrade at punt return specialist (he has juke moves and speed that will make guys miss exhibit A go see week 17 last year against Miami dude is 1 for 1 last year on punt returns with 1 TD). I think the KR duties will be a wash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was almost always the right cut. Guy was an asset. Hands down…. He definitely wasn’t just running head first into defenders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgainBillsFan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Losing Roberts has to be the biggest risk. All others were replaced adequately. Maybe Stevenson can make a splash. But rookie returners are usually good for 3-4 muffs during the season. 21 minutes ago, Virgil said: No one dances to Renegade like Barkley C'mon, Virg! Have you even given Mitch's boogie a chance??

I didn't say he wasn't an asset I just said he wont be missed. We saw all he could do and he was never going to break one like McKenzie did. To me the dude was consistent yes but we saw all he could do. I think there is a lot more upside with McKenzie who can make a big play on ST when we need one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the consistency of Roberts, but a TD here of there will be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I voted Andre Roberts. I've been rewatching the games from 2020. That dude was a consistent difference maker on special teams. I'm really interested to see who takes his place. Obviously, it's not rocket science. A lot of guys can return. But it was nice not having to really worry about the returner making a boneheaded decision. Roberts almost always made the right decision, and he rarely muffed it or turned the ball over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
