in the end zone after he saw the yellow says it all. That poor kid. Being a rookie, not being used in a manner that would allow him to be an impact explosive player, no decent punt blocking ever, and every great play annulled by penalties.
The thing about TA and punt returns from what I'v seen is he needs one good block right by him and he's gone. A half a second to see what he has to deal with and unleash the inner squirrel. Down field he doesn't need blocking as much because he has the ability to carve up defenders, force them to change speeds and direction, and send them reeling.
I would predict his first PR TD this Thursday if there were any hope of reasonable blocking and no penalties but I haven't seen anything yet that would make me hope for that.
I watched Denver last night and it's just shocking how their play designs would open receivers consistently. If they could do that with TA and Cook and Givens, forget about it. It would be a field day.
Oh, and Fisher, they ran the no huddle a lot and they were never one dimensional nor were they always in the hurry up very often when they did so.
As a no nothing fan, I would run a mixture of hurry up and no huddle and get points on the board early. Then you can run run run and see what we've got. If that fails, we can go back at any time. An early lead and a defense that can't make substitutions and is tired is a powerful force. Energized players and fans are a huge plus.
