Punt returner options

[Deus Irae]

I'll bite. He already knows the ST calls. He seemed to have improved last preseason and this preseason at hanging on to the ball. I could see it as a short term option. I'm not advocating for it as the best long term solution, but I could see why it somewhat makes sense.

The current guy gets only one game to try, but they should bring back the guy who **** himself game after game after game?

That doesn't make sense.

PR is about 3rd or 4th on my list of needs. I don't think they have the space for a PR unless he also fills another need (WR). If not, I think they make due.

 

[Angelpats]

They should try Patterson back there. Dynamic player with good hands.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Unless McCarron has inherited the Ken Walter Memorial Revealing Snapshots Album, I think he's on his way.

If they just want a guy to fair catch, though, there are options:

The hyperbole is strong with this one..

This reminds me of another player who tried to make the team as punt returner...

"The shifty special teamer didn’t even make the New England roster on his first try. He’d be a victim of final cuts in the preseason of his rookie year before rejoining the team to spell Ronnie Harris as a punt returner in 1993. When the 1994 season rolled around, Brown was again shown the door, only for Parcells to bring him back once more. In his first two seasons, he’d return 49 punts but make just two receptions". Troy Brown

Troy Brown is the ‘TB’ who made me fall in love with the Patriots

But, but, but....that can’t be. Deus said that we were overreacting to one game.

McCarron and Hansen got the axe today.

Are you saying his info was as reliable as Beeks'?

McCarron was terrible in the preseason. At everything. With the possible exception of fair catching, which was his only use to the roster. Now we know we can't trust him to even do that. His being released was a foregone conclusion.

What the hell are you talking about?

Oh, nevermind. It's you. You have no idea what you're talking about.

So we're stuck with Hansen's cap cause he was on the 53 game one even as an inactive???

No. He's not a vested veteran,

Not a vested veteran, so the cap hit we’re stuck with is week 1 salary, I assume.

That's you're typical reaction to someone who has shown you up on more than one occasion...

After seeing Riley Harper Alexander Mccarron head butt the punt and then fail to recognize that the ball was tickling his wiener underneath him, it’s pretty clear that he Pats need to find a solution to their PR problem.............................

Riley McCarron Waived, There Ya Go!

 

[VegasGuy]

Chung plays nearly every snap on defense as it is; can we at least let him have an extra couple of minutes rest and let somebody else younger and with more time on his hands such as - oh, I don't know - a backup CB with major-college production returning punts, and for whom we used the 60th overall draft position barely 2 years ago?

He can rest when the offense is on the field.

Absolutely agree.

Now the Pats can re-sign Cyrus Jones so he can take over the kick return/punt return duties. I didn't understand his release to begin with. He'd been making real improvement since his rookie year, and looked good in pre-season.
