KR/PR Change Needed!

I'd consider giving more snaps to Miller and Hunte in place of Ford.

Ford has 2 assisted tackles in 2 games.

Pope might be the most awkward D1 football player I've ever seen.
I'm almost positive that he's gonna get sawed in half on a kick-off return this season.

Put X back there on punts.
Bigger, more savvy and wayyyy more comfortable.

I feel like Pope has been an offseason camp all star and gets nervous or something when the pads get on. All these reps he's getting has got to help his confidence. I am still waiting for his coming out party game. Hopefully against FSU since he knows so many of the players, may feel like 7 on 7?
 
Hopefully, the staff makes the change before Pope is given the opportunity to lose us a game.

Let's see what Pope does this weekend. On punts you need great hands and explosive upfield speed. He makes Roscoe Parish look big, so his size does concern me. On kicks, I like bigger with straight ahead speed. What about Burns back there, I thought he ran hard against UAB, but he is hurried right now.

problem is at the tutu/roscoe/pope size, you HAVE to be electric - pope is not. He plays slower than he should, and at his size, that’s a bad combo.

Just let the kid focus on being a WR. He looks out of control on most of these Punt Returns and he's going to eventually really cost us. I see him starting to open up as WR, he's about to turn the corner but not the guy on PR's. We have the bye week to find his replacement

Agree, two muffs in 3 games. There has to be someone else we can have return punts.

Completely unacceptable. X looked like a freshman trying to make a play on a ball he should have let go. Gotta be playing a cerebral game against Clemson to win. Not sure what the answer is for next game
 
I want Knighton returning punts. Pope looks terrified being on the field. With Clemson, thats just going to multiply. Best believe Dabo is going to try to capitalize on that. There going to be going for hang time, swarming, and chirping at Pope all game. Do NOT, have him back there

we are better off having No one back there and letting it bounce.
 
I called for him to be pulled before the game started. The team surrounds the PR in the end zone while Lou booms one to be caught. Guess who dropped it. Yup. Pope. Everyone was like, “awwwwwwwww!”

They obviously don't trust anybody else back there on punt returns - I'm not down on Pope like a lot of people as a receiver but I don't like what I'm seeing from him on punt returns. Too much east-west. Need to put a foot in the ground and get upfield...I'm all for giving somebody else a shot back there. If they can't be trusted on ball security though, well then whatever.

I’d rather have nobody fielding punts if every time I have to close my eyes and pray We don’t muff 🤦🏽‍♂️
