All I want to know is if he can return kicks/punts

Haven't been able to find anything about this. He doesn't run a great 40, so he won't have the elite returning speed.

In comparison, Jordy Nelson ran a 4.49. Patrick Williams ran a 4.52.

Then again, Webb 'only' ran a 4.46, as well.

I don't know why we are so upset about having Jordy return kicks, though. You don't just pick up a Joshua Cribbs or a Desmond Howard. On kick-offs, Nelson has been very solid. If it wasn't for our team constantly holding on STs, we'd actually have one returned for a TD.

Punts, on the other hand, should be left for Blackmon. I really hope that he comes back strong next year.

As to Patrick Williams, he'll have to make some big progression from his college play to the NFL. His best season in college was one in which he caught a whopping 30 balls for 322 yards.

I agree Jordy is serviceable, but he's not got the speed or elusiveness to break off big returns on a regular basis.

And the hold on his one 'touchdown' run was crucial in keeping the tackler from stopping him. Had our player not held Jordy would have been dropped.

I recall the hold happening somewhere behind Jordy, on a player he had already passed.

Must've been one of the other 50 holds, lol.

Not very inspiring numbers. Did he have a decent QB?

Cody Hawkins. I think that he's below average.

And I don't know how low he was on their depth chart. From time to time, players just burst onto the scene. You never know.

That's exactly right, Bart Starr was a 17th round draft pick and Donald Driver was a 7th round draft pick.

Pardon my stupidity... Zero

Educate me? What does Tomczak have to do with this kid?

Serious... I am not making a joke, or being sarcastic. I do not get it the link between the two?

Zero2Cool (23h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (23h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (23h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (23h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (23h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (23h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
