Is Knile Davis the answer to our mediocre kickoff return game?

I'd say he is.

Depends on how much drag his head produces...

I can't understand for the life of me why AYERS hasn't tried out for that position, along with punt return. WTF??? His head is a lot less drag on friction loss.

The answer is to take a knee unless it is s must.

Not sure what you are looking at.

2015 average was less than Dri's. lower average of 20+, although he did have 2 of 40+. That was over a season ago with only 10 total returns since. Since, he has done nothing more than quite a few other guys can do and Coates did last year.

He's a former Razorback, so I am endeared to him, but I'm not expecting much.

I think our issue is not the guy returning the kicks, it is the ****** blocking that gets the KR killed.

Is it the ****** blocking or is it ****** scheme

Op sees him as a smallish guy hence he must have a small head.


A heady observation my dear Watson.

 

[Tibs]

The thing Davis has going for him, unlike Dri Archer, is that he's proven he can get the job done. I just hope he's not another Jacoby Jones and still has plenty left in the tank. I think the KR job will boil down to roster spots on the 53. If Davis is in play as back-up RB, he'll have a good shot. As far as returning kicks, he does seem to have a nose to get upfield in a hurry, and not dilly-dally around. Toussaint was downright painful to watch on occasion.

 

[CoolieMan]

he slipped some last season, he will have to show he can rebound to past success or he could be beat out by Coates or Ayers....or another candidate

 

[ark steel]

Is it the ****** blocking or is it ****** scheme

every year seems like there is little to no improvement in the KR and PR units all the way back to the Cowher days.

 

[Spike]

How the living **** can you even ask this question till he steps on the field and shows something?

All that past **** is just **** from years ago. Nothing applies to 2017.

 

[Stryker]

Last year it was Monday WAS an upgrade to Berry, before he ever stepped on the field.

How'd that work out Coach? SMH...

 

[F83]

I think the 2 returners should be Ayers and Coats

 

[CorpusDsteelers]

How about that long snapper? Can he return kicks? What about brads wife?

 

[Hines57]

If he is not I would go ahead and say its our special teams coaching/scheme and not the player. He proved he can return the ball in KC.

 

[ExUSAF]

Just watched Super Bowl XIV and Larry Anderson was phenomenal in that game. 5 returns for 162 yards, a record that appears to still stand. Why is it so hard to find a good one? Have the KO rules changed that much?

I think you meant Bobby April days.
