KR/PR Change Needed!

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I am still holding out hope for Pope to get things right at the WR position. However, I don't think he is the guy back there. He doesn't have the vision needed or the make you miss ability. Even on the ones where he has space he looks like he confused.

Maybe he is the most trustworthy catching the ball and if that is the reason he's back there then fine. I just think with guys like Knighton, X, etc.. we can find someone who can spark things back there

Is Pope able to accelerate without the hesitation leg kick to rev himself up?

 

[CBurrr93]

He had nothing but green grass in front of him and he barely moved forward. I feel bad for him honestly. He’s timid

It's hilarious, cuz I can visualize exactly what you're talking about

With this offense, just give me someone that catches the punt every time.

When we're complaining about PR/KR, it shows we are doing well in other areas so I hope they fix it, but it is a good sign that the rest of the team is doing well.

Yep, people should focus on things that matter.

 

[Angry Ibis]

I wonder if there were threads calling for Pope to return punts and kicks in previous seasons.

Knighton

 

[CanesFan93]

Put Clarke back there.

Special Teams don’t matter?

Yep, people should focus on things that matter.

Special teams matter bro. Field position matters. Returns for touchdowns matter. And obviously ball security matters.

Lol what’s the worse of the bunch:

-Pope as main PR and KR
-Cam as other KR
- Gurvan as backup PR

Cam and Gurvan are dudes we can’t lose. No reason to have them on returns.. You can’t tell me there aren’t better options at PR and KR than Pope. He really needs to concentrate on becoming a better WR. Please give Rooster, X or Clarke an opportunity

 

[AutoCANE]

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.

 

[mikemike]

Put Clarke back there.

They probably don’t trust him yet

I don’t think we have enough RB depth to put Knighton for PR

Pope already fumbled lol

dude can barely catch

many guess would be Knighton Keshawn Smith

 

[305407cane]

Safety and RB depth is not good enough to have knighton cam or hall back there. Put X or Keyshawn there. Clarke on KR

Right, exactly...that's what I mean, if Pope is still back there after fumbling a punt, they must not have much trust in the other guys.
