Would you bring in Hester?

[mcaj22]

this guy is NOT done

overpaid yes
older yes

but still fast as ****

[Bump]

I would take him for sure, wouldn't break the bank though.

[gblowfish]

I'd only consider him if we dealt or cut McCluster.

Do not give two shits about return men. Hell, the NFL wants to get rid of kick-offs and we want to go after that very specialist?

Do we need a good punt returner that has a good head and great hands? Yes, but find one already on the roster or draft one that does another job even better than he returns.

yea how dare us give a shit about field position and team speed

a good return man didnt just win the super bowl or anything

Was his return huge? Sure. But remember this, the guy was a nonfactor throughout the year and his role as a WR was just as important as his return. Is Hester making that catch/getup/run/TD? No.

What i do remember, is if you actually follow the NFL, is the guy BEING a factor throughout the year as a RETURN man, just like he was in the Super bowl

Jacoby Jones led the LEAGUE in 30 yards per return average. Essentially Joe Flacco starting drives on the 30 or more,

for comparison sake, we had Shaun Draughn who averaged 21 yards per return.

So Flacco getting the ball at the 30 versus Brady Quinn/Matt Cassel starting at the 21, if the return begins at the 1. And it takes one sack or rushing play that nets a loss of yards for that drive at the 21 to be in the teens. Essentially poor field position KILLING drives before they even begin.

I dont know about you, but I'm sick of that

I admit, I wrongly called him a non-factor during the season. But how great was he in Houston? Baltimore has had a history of returning the ball well. We have not. We know Reid likes speed, but find it in a guy who's not headed into the backend of his career.

you dont spend money on the highest paid special teams coach in the league to not now be a factor in returning the ball

we will be a factor in the return game, they will spend money and/or find a KR that does that. Whether its Hester, a draft pick, someone. It certainly is not any of the slow players currently on the team, that is for sure.
