Corn Punt Returns?

[edge]

Anyone know why on God's green earth that Corn is not on punt returns anymore?

 

[drewm3i]

Because he plays defense every down? It should be Coley or Corn when he's rested.

Why in the world do they have mark Walton ok kick return. Ice Harris still playing favoritism

 

[ucrew02]

Lack of depth at corner is probably the best guess. It's a position we've talked about lacking depth quite a bit this year

Agreed more depth at corner and Corn would be on the field a lot more.

Coley doesn't need any more opportunities to get injured.

The real question should be, why is Braxton our punt returner. Has not shown a single thing as a PR.

Let Gray return punts or kick offs. It's better than rotting away in the bench. As always, this staph remains clueless.

As long as Berrios can securely field a punt, I'm cool with him being back there.

Gives Corn needed rest & utilizes an underused talent in BB.

Berrios and Walton have no business returning any kicks

The cone drill hasn't translated into Berrios being a factor yet??

 

[futurecane]

Berrios has been pretty good given what the opportunities have been. Nearly every punt he's gotten there is no chance to return anything, and yet he's given us 10-15 yards on some of those.

10/4 on that one..

Well the simple answer is we haven't signed any explosive players in the last two classes. But I think if anyone should get the shot it's JJ.

 

[Canefam]

put gray on kick returns ASAP... I'm tired of starting at the freaking 20 yard line. Walton is killing us... You need to Give yourself a chance to make it to the 35 or 40... Or an occasional homerun. Come on already.

Walton returning kickoffs and Berrios returning punts aren't even comparable.

Berrios is the exact type kid that returns punts. Quick, good hands, typical slot athlete.

 

[TC7D]

Walton on kickoffs is mind boggling. The other team knows this, so they always kick to him instead of Corn.

All this talk of depth and injuries is nonsense. In the words of Herm Edwards "you play to win the game". We have plenty of depth for Corn to attempt to run back a couple punts a game. And the injuries excuse? That sounds like something Golden would say. Peterson is a top 3 CB in the league and yet he still returns punts. They are not worried about him getting injured they are trying to win a game. And I am sure the Cardinals have just as much if not less depth than UM does at CB with a 53 man roster. Unless Corn has requested to be taken off then this decision is nothing short of dumb.

He's too dangerous back there. We don't need ST scores. We prefer to grind for our points.

The Great White Hype will eventually bust one for 10 yards. Don't lose hope.

You just don't get it! Our players are too valuable to risk them playing football.

 

[jackedaround]

its because he keeps getting them called back for BITB. it's his fault according to our corches.
